From the soulful streets of Vicksburg, Mississippi, emerges 556 Reaper, an artist who blends raw storytelling with modern hip hop vibes. Ynnad, known in the music world as 556 Reaper, has been chasing his dream since he was just 13 years old. His journey began with a bold move—a remix of Tupac’s classic “Ambitionz Az a Ridah” that marked the birth of his musical expression.
Balancing life as a retail modeler, Ynnad dedicates his true passion to crafting music that reflects his grind and personal experiences. Inspired deeply by his mother and older brother, who themselves navigate the music scene, 556 Reaper channels that family drive into every verse and beat. Though he once wrote all his own lyrics, today he leans more into punch-in recording, focusing on the flow and vibe over meticulous penmanship.
An independent artist who produces his own tracks, Ynnad is carving out his lane with features alongside names like Tookie3x, Kashrunna, and Mezzy. His sound is rooted in authentic hip hop, but his aspirations are high—he dreams of collaborating with NBA YoungBoy, a clear influence reflected in his favorite listening pick, “They Ain’t With Me.”
556 Reaper’s latest single “April” dropped recently, setting the tone for an upcoming mixtape slated for July. His energy on stage has already drawn crowds, notably performing for about 80 people at a recent show. Looking ahead, Ynnad aims to take his talents to Atlanta, a city synonymous with hip hop success, and dreams of touring with heavy hitters like YFN Lucci or G Herbo.
With an eye on the future, 556 Reaper envisions a life of financial stability, living in a penthouse by the ocean, a symbol of the success he’s working tirelessly to achieve. Supported by his biggest fan—his girlfriend—and fueled by self-production and independence, 556 Reaper is a name to watch as he climbs toward his goals.
