THE YUNGEN, THE RESTLESS

3/13/18

U.K. rapper Yungen, having inked a worldwide pub deal with Sony/ATV, poses for the contractually obligated photo with his team, after which the true meaning of “pub deal” coalesced as a mind-boggling pilgrimage through an ocean of lager. The South London native, first discovered on YouTube before earning an RCA label deal, scoring a MOBO Best Newcomer nomination and being shortlisted for BBC 1Xtra’s Ones to Watch, has followed up last year’s hit “Bestie” with the newly charting “Bad,” which has earned 20m British streams.
