YUNG MAS’ music is a profound exploration of personal growth, societal norms, and the very fabric of human emotions, all set against a backdrop of genre-blending soundscapes that defy easy categorization. He is all about pushing the boundaries of creativity and self-expression in order to achieve something greater than himself. For him, it’s not just about making music, it is about creating soundtracks of our lives that are timeless and bound to stand the test of time. Otherwise, what is it all worth for you to create something that cannot outlive you? In the ever-evolving rap landscape, some artists are caught between innovation and tradition. YUNG MAS simply emerges as a beacon of authenticity, stretching the limits of sound and narrative while honoring the very foundation hip-hop was built on. He is like this force of balance between the two generations. That right there is not an artist you stumble upon every other Tuesday.
With his new project, “GALLERIA1,” YUNG MAS went above and beyond. He wanted to outdo himself and was only in competition with himself. Enveloping himself in this creative space that was devoid of distractions as he focused on this project, working on one track at a time, constructing, deconstructing, and constructing again until everything came out as he wanted, this project represents a heightened state of mind as he takes his craft to higher levels.
A 13-song collection that he was involved in from its inception till its completion, “GALLERIA1” represents the culmination of YUNG MAS’ artistic evolution, showcasing his growth and maturity as a songwriter, performer, and producer.
There are so many standouts from this epic collection that it’s hard to pinpoint just a few. The opener, “SOIGNE” feels different; the vibe is different; the beat is different; the flow is different; and the production is dynamic and top-notch. The music is fancy, cool, and epic, as YUNG MAS showcases another side to his artistry that many aren’t aware of. This is an ecstatic departure from the cookie-cutter rap arrangements, and I loved every ounce of it!
“MURDA’KEY” features a laid-back yet speedy and expressive production. This is sound engineering on steroids as YUNG MAS hops on his own sonic beauty, blending masterful, intricate, and attention-grabbing verses. This jam highlights this visionary artist’s versatility and depth.
“NOLIA’” is a heavy hitter with a blazing beat and bass that provides the perfect backdrop for YUNG MAS’ spotlight-stealing flows. This beat is heavy and exudes an uncontainable energy that is best enjoyed at maximum volume.
I dig the vibes from the “2094” series, and for me, 2094 Pt.3 (ACIDPOP2094)” stands out. That beat is slick and insane. The infectious blend of rhythm and melody is only matched by the intellectual firepower YUNG MAS unleashes on the mic.
I love the turntables and video game-gun effects on the jam “TRIA” and “M.V.S.R.” is another one of my favorites thanks to that hypnotic beat and the lyrical finesse and prowess YUNG MAS showcases with his performance. This is one of those jams I have been playing on repeat, and I still can’t get enough; that’s how good it is!
With this project, YUNG MAS proves that nothing is off-limits. This is all him and no one else as he revolutionizes hip-hop and taps into those timeless and catchy feels to create something that transcends mere melodies; this is futuristic hip-hop in its purest form.
So go ahead and tell everybody; – “GALLERIA1” is the project of the year; it’s the project to match and beat. YUNG MAS happens to be the trailblazer, setting standards for others to emulate!
