There are a lot of "Yung"s out there right now (yung thug, yung lean, young money, etc)… And I love them all! But Yung Gud has taken the cake (cake cake cake..) for me this week.
Yung Gud is an 18 year old Swedish producer and Yung Lean's main beat producer. If you haven't yet heard Lean, be sure to check the Sad Boys Crew member out (For fans of electronic rap that is oh so hyped these days) - He gets his inspiration from A$AP Rocky and has the attitude of Tyler, the Creator. His sound is special, though. His dream collaborations are with PartyNextDoor and FKA Twigs, which tells you a lot about what he has been creating. More complex than Odd Future and less clubby than A$AP. It's atmospheric and intelligent. Give "My Guns" a listen and fall in love.
When asked by Redbull Music Academy why people should listen to his music, he had this to say:
Because I really want them to. My music is relatively awesome and I’m the next Mariah Carey. But I really don’t know why people should listen to me. I would like them to because I like when people give me attention.
Sold.
