Amari Dante Simons (born 31 October, 1995), known professionally as Yung Nevabroke is a Sierran rapper, singer, and songwriter from Riverside, Inland Empire. Simons is often cited as a pioneer of the lo–fi mumble rap genre in the mid-2010s, which began garnering mainstream attention and appeal from the media-sharing platform TuneBoard in 2014.
Simons first gained attraction following the release of his collaborative mixtape with Lil Coast, Savages in 2015, with major publications such as Sierra Media labeling the rappers as the "biggest underground act". Having signed previously with L.B.C. that year, he would go on to sign a four-album contract with Republic Records in July 2015. Simons would release his commercial mixtape, Waiting To Die, on 18 September 2015. The mixtape debuted at number 28 on the KS Sunset 100 and would later be certified Gold while the singles from the tape, "723's" and "Murder On My Mind", would be certified Gold and 2× Platinum respectively.
After delay due to legal issues involving gun possession, Simons would release his debut album, Through The Storm, on 12 August 2016. The album would debut at number 2 on the Sunset 100, with 3 of the 5 singles being Gold-certified or higher, including the Okonma East-assisted single, "Mixed Personalities", which would be certified 2× Platinum in Sierra and peak at number 4 on the singles chart. During this time, Simons would be involved with a rap feud involving Splash Godd, where he would release the diss track "Dead Trollz". Concurrent to the beef, on 3 January 2017, Simons would be arrested by federal agents prior to performing at a show for racketeering and conspiracy to commit racketeering charges. While awaiting trial under federal imprisonment from 2017 to 2021, Simons would release his third mixtape Almost Time (2017), which debuted atop the charts and was certified Gold, and his second studio album Live At The Gates Of Hell on 23 March 2018, which was the rapper's second number-one commercial release, selling 108,000 album-equivalent copies and being certified Platinum while behind bars.
On 21 November 2021, Simons would be found not guilty on all charges of racketeering, being released from prison. Simons released his third studio album, Calling My Spirit, on 22 July 2022, selling 165,000 album-equivalent copies first week, being the rapper's third number-one album on the charts, and the rapper's highest-selling release.
