Yatta (rapper)

Yatta (rapper)

Yatta (born Kenyana Jones) is a rapper from the Bay Area who is currently serving a twelve year prison sentence.[1]

Overview

Yatta (rapper) was born in the Sunnydale projects in San Francisco. He made a name for himself on the scene alongside Lil Yase with his first hit "Get It In", sadly an attempted murder charge gave him a 12 year sentence not long after he began picking up buzz. [1][3]

In 2016 Yatta made headlines when a woman was killed as the result of collateral damage in a rap feud. Towerside Gang member Mario Pitteard, who goes by Nasty-O, said the shooting was motivated by a lyric in one of Yatta's songs accusing him of being a snitch: "Hey NastyO, I know about your little secret".[2]

Yatta has continued keeping in touch with his fans on social media and releasing music from prison. On August 17th, 2018 he dropped a Mac Dre type freestyle called “Tired” over the phone. All of his efforts have spawned the #FreeYatta movement among his supporters. [1]

In March 2020, Yatta was featured in Drakeo The Ruler's new album, Free Drakeo. Rappers worked together on “Fuck Being Humble” track. This album is Drakeo's first release since his incarceration and is a profile-raising look at his rise to folk hero status, culled mostly from scattered loosies released online from 2016 to 2018.[14] When you think of your BIG goal, sometimes you start feeling overwhelmed. Why? Because big goals don’t get achieved right away. Instead, you need to create mini goals to help excite you along the way. This way you can be more goal-orientated and build a habit of being more effective.

Celebrating your small wins will help you stay motivated through your journey.

Plus, celebrating is always super fun.

Maybe you break your goal down to 10 small-sized goals with tasks that get you on track to achieve them.

For each of the 10 goals you can add a small celebration.

Maybe a glass of champagne for one or a dessert with a sparkler on top for another.

Don’t forget to check out some of our motivational quotes about success in a later section.

This goes back to the positive environment point: You need to be around others who are just as ambitious as you.

American entrepreneur John Rohn once said, “You’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with it.”

And whether or not that’s true is debatable, the reality is being around the right kind of people can only help you grow.

If you’re surrounded by those who love your ambition, you’ll be more ambitious and achieve more.

If you’re surrounded by loved ones who tell you your goals are stupid and tell you to change them, you need to avoid them.

Be around those who help you feel comfortable being the ambitious, go-getter you are, so you can become the successful person you’re meant to be.When
