This song isn’t new…but I heard a remix of it on Hype Machine and downloaded the original.
The artist is Yung Lean. 19-year-old Swede who the Chicago Tribune says is “famous in a way that is possible only in the mid ’10s: He’s Internet famous, huge on Tumblr, YouTube and SoundCloud. This enables him to regularly sell out shows in American big cities without the benefit of tools that used to be considered vital, like radio play, or the backing of a major label.
19-year-old white Stockholm parody rap? I dunno….I do love “Yoshi City.” Colour me new.
Go with yourself.
