CHOSEN BY SIMON "Written and performed by the 19 years old swedish rapper Yung Lean, "Yoshi City" takes us on a trip between isolation and elevation among Stockholm's skyscrapers. Produced by Yung Gud, from their crew SAD Boys, the song builds up a cloudy atmosphere with its aerial trap beats and its synth like a drop of soap. Yung Lean's dreamy vocoded voice plunges us in a light but blurred climate, along with his lyrics about loneliness and urban spleen in imaginary Yoshi City. Their internet and pop culture references combined with 80's new wave and dream pop influences definitely makes this song part of a form of "post rap" 'avant-garde' ; mixing the various musical and cultural genres that seem to appearing above the horizons of their buildings and computer screens."
