Yung Leans 2013 Unknown Death mixtape is a playful sonic universe built from instant references to the pop culture phenomena that saturated his youth. The Yung Lean we face on his official debut album, Unknown Memory, has developed into a young professional. An artist who knows where he is going and how to get there - an artist who is beginning to truly make his mark on the hip hop and alternative music scene. A year is a long time when you're 17. Especially when it includes worldwide tours and the development of a brand around your name and what you do. Yung Lean is wiser; self-confident and at the same time more complex. His lyrics are relevant to his new life experience, memorable and relatable in real time. You meet a person, who shares his experiences, his troubles and joys. The rhymes are still snappy, but now with poignant heart and soul.
