YNG Martyr has lived a life like few others. The Wiradjuri rapper first broke out of Canberra’s underground scene with his viral hit Nike Ticks, turning gaming chats and meme culture into millions of streams - and a cult global following.

But behind the fame was chaos. In this conversation, YNG Martyr opens up about growing up in Townsville, falling into drugs, and the trip that almost killed him and changed his life forever. He shares lessons from his stepdad, the highs and lows of going viral, moving to LA, and how he ended up writing Logan Paul’s WWE walk-out track.

Now, with a new album on the way, YNG Martyr is entering a new chapter. You'll hear about it here first.
