Yung Lean has been cited as an influential figure in the early cloud rap era. Cloud rap is a hip-hop subgenre which takes inspiration from chillwave as well as trap to create a lo-fi, relaxed sound.
The twenty-five-year-old gained a wider audience from his 2013 track ‘Ginseng Strip 2002’ after it went viral on YouTube. The music video, directed by Emrik Meshesha (Dj Ferrari), significantly now has a nearly sixty-two million views. Check it out here.
Catch Yung Lean updates on his Instagram, such as in February when he posted a photo of himself with Kanye West, Baby Keem, Travis Scott and Drake.
