Yungsta Digs Deeper Than Ever Before on 'Ruhbaru' with Sez On The Beat
RollingStone India
|March 2023
The New Delhi hip-hop artist has dropped the first song off his upcoming full-length album 'Meen'
New Delhi hip-hop artist Yungsta aka Yash Chandra lifts the veil on his most personal stories and struggles yet, with producer Sez On The Beat on his latest song “Ruhbaru,” taken from his upcoming debut album Meen.
BYungsta – who is also part of rap duo Full Power with Frappe Ash – considers Meen to be his debut solo album in the way that his previous records like Mehfil in 2021 because that was a mixtape and the forthcoming collection of songs are more thematically tied together. “People know about struggles and my story, but this was a clean slate scene. There have been mixtapes before this, but the album standard had been set in my mind, much like Jay-Z’s Reasonable Doubt and Kanye West’s The College Dropout,” the rapper says.
