Influential Southern Hip-Hop Artist & Author; First Female Emcee at No Limit Records; Gold-Certified Rapper
Mia X Biography
Mia Young, known professionally as Mia X, is a rapper, songwriter, author, and actress from New Orleans, Louisiana, recognized for her influence in Southern hip-hop. Young began her career performing with the mobile entertainment service New York Inc. alongside Mannie Fresh, who later became a key figure at Cash Money Records. She made her recorded debut with the single "Ask Them Suckas" and the maxi-single "Da Payback." Young later signed with No Limit Records, becoming the first female emcee on the label.
Young released her No Limit debut, "Good Girl Gone Bad," followed by the album "Unlady Like," which reached No. 21 on the Billboard 200 and No. 2 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, earning RIAA Gold certification. Her next album, "Mama Drama," debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard 200 and featured collaborations with artists such as Fat Joe and Snoop Dogg. During her tenure at No Limit, Young contributed to albums including "Ice Cream Man," "Ghetto D," and "Charge It 2 Da Game," and is often referred to as the Mother of Southern Rap.
In addition to her music career, Young has worked as a restaurateur in New Orleans and authored the cookbook and memoir "Things My Grandma Told Me, Things My Grandma Showed Me." She has advocated for New Orleans residents, speaking before Congress on two occasions following Hurricane Katrina, and has organized annual community marches that include health screenings and empowerment initiatives. Young also participated in the public health campaign "Vax That Thang Up" with Juvenile and Mannie Fresh.
Young was diagnosed with endometrial cancer, a disease that disproportionately affects Black women, and survived both the illness and a surgical complication that temporarily impaired her vision. She has since used her platform to raise awareness and funding for uterine cancer research, hosting charity events and sharing her experience publicly. Young was the first woman inducted into Rice University’s Hip Hop Archival Collection, recognized at an event titled "Mia X: Soldier, Survivor, Savant" for her contributions to Southern hip-hop and her work in music, social justice, and community empowerment. She continues to perform at events such as the ESSENCE Festival of Culture and remains active in music and advocacy.
