What up gang.
Back with the real you know what’s the deal. Beef is never ending in the streets, not because it can’t be stopped, but because it continues the cycle of hate and revenge from one set to the other. We’re seeing it literally play out in the streets of Jacksonville in the war between KTA and ATK. Now, Y&R is drawn into the beef and going head to head with ATK, but their was an event to send them down this bloody path. Today we’re going to focus more on the Y&R side of the beef to see how it got sparked, who upped the score and if their can ever be peace between the camps. Let’s chop it up and break it down.

We’ve detailed the beef that started it all between Yungeen Ace ATK (Ace To Kill/Aim To Kill)
and Julio Foolio’s KTA (Kill Them All)
The two have been locked in a beef that has not only seen many lives lost, but made national headlines for bragging about their gangbanging on their dead opps in songs https://youtu.be/9XrCQ-HfmIM (0:33-1:17) But now, KTA affiliates Y&R (Young and Reckless) have tagged in on the melee and claiming to be responsible for several ATK murders. Popular rapper, SpotemGottem is a member of Y&R although I’m not sure what he claims now that him and them have been on bad terms since rumors of him snitching on another Y&R member, Y&R Mookey https://youtu.be/OFaRUOjNyF8 (0:18-0:27)
I covered the entire thing with the SpotemGottem video so you can check it out. I’ll link the description in the bio
So how did this beef between Y&R and ATK even get as heated as it did. Well from everything that’s been going around, it seemed to have started with ATK head honcho Yungeen Ace and one of Y&R’s most prominent members, Y&R Mookey. The most concrete link between them seems to stem from a situation that played off at a party where both crews were present at. Things got a little heated and one thing led to another. An altercation broke out and it’s alleged Yungeen Ace doubled back with the pole and shots went off behind Y&R Mookey while his moms was close by. Mookey dodged a bullet, pun intended, but was grazed by one. While Mookey was plotting his revenge, Ace was out here stunting making bangers off his willingness to off his opps with the hit single “Go To War.” Ironically in that track the hook sings “Don’t wanna go to war with me/mommas crying dudes dying.” https://youtu.be/-VTwCVWvQ6k (0:38-0:52)
On June 8th 2018, Ace released the music video for another banger on worldstar titled “F That”. In the song you can hear the scenario of him bussing gats in front Mookey’s moms in the lyrics “Bih had the nerve to up on me in front of my brother/ion scared ion running gta put me under/spin back the same night and shot at him in front of his moma” https://youtu.be/jBweJcwdUlU (0:57-1:05) Throughout the entire song it was just him and his brother 23 in the visuals, not his blood brother but he considers him like family because of how close they were https://youtu.be/wLnTfFrtyk4 (3:14-3:30)
23’s appearance in the video proves that the vid was recorded beforehand for the upcoming release, because on June 5th 2018, Ace almost lost his life after the opps caught him and his brothers lacking. He would be the only survivor.
It made the song even more chilling seeing 23 in the clip alongside his bro in the life of the living.
Reports state that Yungeen Ace would be targeted after celebrating his blood brother Trevon Bullard’s (aka Quan Quan) 18th birthday with dinner at Wasabi Japanese Steakhouse at the St. Johns Town Center https://youtu.be/MDMh9GdgEtI
Police were dispatched to the scene at 10:53 p.m. and found a vehicle with four male shooting victims inside. Two people were pronounced dead at the scene, one died at a local hospital, and one was left in critical condition. The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said a vehicle pulled up next to a Chevy sedan, opened fire and took off. They labeled the incident as a targeted hit based on an ongoing dispute between two groups and that the shooting is not a random act of violence.
While on a hospital bed, you could feel the pain in Ace heart detailing the gruesome scene where his blood brother, Quan, brother through the streets, Royale Smith (aka 23), and close friend, Jercoby Groover (aka 4) lost their lives, leaving him with 8 bullet wounds https://youtu.be/mWFsPEcOglI (2:00-2:21)
Ace was going through it and let it all out in a song titled “Pain” referring his loss and the situation that took so much from him https://youtu.be/TLIgFxNY61E Ace was mourning and memorialized his brothers on his skin
This is what these young dudes are cursed to live through, but they never seem to wake up and think that they’ve lost too much and need to stop fueling the statistics https://youtu.be/wLnTfFrtyk4 (2:13-3:13)
While Ace was going through it, someone else was happy as a mofo that the hit upped the score on his opps. None other than, Y&R Mookey. In his track, Mookey throws shade with the title “Pain Song” and not only raps about the incident where Ace nem bussed shots at him in front his moms, but also taunted Ace dead homie saying he’s the reason Ace is doing pain songs. Check out the lyrics https://youtu.be/LAOkSNMzqq8 (0:18-0:24) But check somn right quick, the lyrics said “dudes shot and missed, now his brains gone, I’m the reason that your dog making pain songs.” Thinking about the lyrics and the situation that happened, it seems like the one that pulled the trigger when Mookey nearly got ended, was 23 or Quan, because he’s saying “dudes shot and missed, now his brains gone” and Ace himself stated Quan got hit in the head https://youtu.be/wLnTfFrtyk4 (4:44-4:56) and then he says “I’m the reason that your dog making pain songs” which means the person who shot him is gone and Ace is grieving.
All this adds credibility to the shooting in front his moms that further dragged Y&R into the beef. In the Pain Song vid you can see other members like his murder twin Y&R Slugga Tee
dabbin him up while Mookey disses their dead opps https://youtu.be/LAOkSNMzqq8 (2:43-2:50)
They even went as far as putting the devil emoji on Slugga Tee’s head for the thumbnail. These dudes got no sympathy for the opps.
ATK was hurting but Y&R was celebrating. It’s crazy how they treat death.
Y&R Slugga Tee and Mookey was like double trouble. The real team rocket that was toating the rockets for real
By themselves they’re already dangerous, but together they’re menaces https://youtu.be/YRloyXNGssA (0:15-0:34) Actually, in Mookey’s song “Dead Opps” he again made reference to where Ace nem shot and grazed him and he said Slugga Tee was there dumping back https://youtu.be/cjwYFmUOGDs (0:13-0:19) Then again dissed 23, linking himself and Y&R to the hit https://youtu.be/cjwYFmUOGDs (0:53-0:59)
Both have been the main drive between the beef between Y&R and ATK. In the song “Murda Twinz” they were taking shots back to back on Ace about his dead homies and his shooter Ksoo catching stray disses https://youtu.be/YRloyXNGssA (0:47-0:55) https://youtu.be/YRloyXNGssA (1:11-1:16) https://youtu.be/YRloyXNGssA (1:35-1:40) https://youtu.be/YRloyXNGssA (1:53-1:54) https://youtu.be/YRloyXNGssA (2:19-2:27) In that same song Mookey again brings up Ace nem tryna get him got and missing their shot https://youtu.be/YRloyXNGssA (0:56-0:58) It really seems like this is what really ticked bro nem off and got the beef bloody for real for real.
Y&R was applying pressure, dropping back to back disses flexing how they got Ace homies. In the song “Gangsta Talk” Mookey flexes upping the score on ATK https://youtu.be/OiO4TmqF31U (0:29-0:38) It was only a matter of time before Ace would heal up and gear up for war with his main man Ksoo https://youtu.be/3lZixpK6sVA (0:23-0:45)
Together they began their get back, upping the score on their opps. Y&R and in extension KTA suffered the losses of their mans Charles McCormick aka KTA Lil Buck https://youtu.be/NxlWIHbZ4Mo (1:50-2:14)
And 16 year old homie ‘Bibby Osama’ (https://youtu.be/bO0FIm-3stA)
No one was off limits, not even an underaged teen. Ace and Ksoo were going crazy with the get back and made sure their Y&R and KTA opps heard them loud and clear and felt what they felt https://youtu.be/3lZixpK6sVA (2:55-3:28) In a turning of tables, now the opps were the ones singing pain songs https://youtu.be/9_nqtt4wMqU
Looking from the outside, nothing about this is even remotely funny, because you can feel the pain these young dudes are going through. The scars and loss and heartbreak would break the average person, but these dudes keep finding the strength to go on. It’s like the pain talking when they up the score and diss back, trying to let everyone feel their hurt https://youtu.be/gWu5byUARJU (0:51-0:58) https://youtu.be/PNzwUJn2N2Y (1:13-1:41) https://youtu.be/HAioIOkH34M https://youtu.be/J4rWGnM762s (4:39-5:20) Dudes were out here legit rapping about dead opps, smoking cigars, having fun and dancing https://youtu.be/YFfGgeddAc4 (2:12–2:27) This name in particular is significant https://youtu.be/YFfGgeddAc4 (1:28-1:30) because he is not only a close friend of Y&R Mookey but rumored to be his blood cousin. They caught Lil Nine lacking while driving, shot up his whip sending him crashing into a store where he passed https://youtu.be/2MLKnWQAnvA Ace and Ksoo really was shaking somn back for real. They held no remorse, posting Nine lying on the floor lifeless and clowning making jokes https://youtu.be/E1_H6G_5c0Q
Everyone was getting it. They even caught Foolio himself lacking, luckily he survived being shot https://youtu.be/ESYx0CXloEY
From there, the dissing went back and forth with each going at it online and through diss tracks https://youtu.be/u51wkpPb2-A (0:48-1:57) https://youtu.be/rWaGsBKGBHk (2:55-3:25) https://youtu.be/rWaGsBKGBHk (6:10-6:20) https://youtu.be/FglEXVNeLuU (0:01-0:06) https://youtu.be/WJSFIIDbOuM (0:00-0:18) https://youtu.be/qxlDuSO5N-s (1:04-1:14) https://youtu.be/zAyAAg_bjns (0:54-1:00) https://youtu.be/JvZbJSrGU3Q (1:13-1:19) https://youtu.be/PNzwUJn2N2Y (1:07-1:16)
It was like an endless dissing session with no one wanting to stop coming for the smoke, until both started scheming to link up and settle the score once and for all https://youtu.be/u51wkpPb2-A (4:37-5:14) That might have been the outcome if the law didn’t intervene. Currently Ksoo is behind bars fighting for his freedom from the hit on Lil Buck with his pops https://youtu.be/EoBHvAnSdb4 (0:00-0:18)
Mookey and Slugga Tee were swooped up in what the feds called Operation Rap Up https://youtu.be/LXIQ6NvDbMc (0:38-1:10) https://youtu.be/Pj3y8Z8pW3g (27:15-27:55)
Seems like Slugga Tee has his sentencing soon cause he recently asked for persons to pop up and show support
As for Y&R Mookey he seems to be doing well https://youtu.be/WFyESpUiFv4 The person that was on the other end of the call was Y&R affiliate, Cojack
Snapple Facts: Cojack went to Yungeen Ace’s hood and posted up online and Ksoo slid the block looking for bro ready to blix somn https://youtu.be/CNiW73Mzo8E
It seemed now that the key players are behind bars, the beef is on hold at least, but you know how it goes, even when it seems the beef is cold, dudes find a way to turn up the heat, even behind bars. In a video call from jail, Y&R Slugga Tee claims he’s been giving the beats to Ksoo behind bars https://youtu.be/A2yjSZxYOvE (4:42-4:50)
So there you have it. That’s where things are currently at between the two camps. I’ll keep ya’ll posted as always with updates. Thanks for kicking it with yah boy, appreciate the love and support. Catch ya’ll in the next one. Peace up and peace out.
