THE RISE OF YOUNGN LIPZ

 Youngn Lipz

Musical artist


Western Sydney has energized Australia’s rap and RnB scene with a wave of Polynesian artists using genres like Drill to express the gritty realities of life as outsiders on the outskirts of the city. Youngn Lipz is different. In his debut track Misunderstood, rocking a Gucci cap and backed by his lads, YL crooned his way through a love story set in Catamaran.

BIOGRAPHY

YL is showing the world a different side of “the areas,” which is the part of Western Sydney that has become notorious in the media for gang violence. Instead, YL has taken the so-called "postcode wars" and subverted them in his music videos with a vibrant mix of multiculturalism and heart-on-your-sleeve lyricism. There is more laughter than there is bravado. There is more dancing than there is bridging-up. And there’s more fun than there is tragedy.

YL’s wavy melodies capture that suburban nostalgia while staying true to the places and people that made him, and he has made the feeling of his music resonate around the world—catching the attention of major US labels like Cash Money Records and OVO Sound. To talk about how the past has fused his dreams with his future, we caught up with the rising star of Australian RnB on his way to community serve in Liverpool.

Having come-up in similar neighbourhoods, that is the version of the streets that I like to remember. There was violence and people did what they had to when jobs were scarce or their upbringing was volatile. But it was in that mess that the best memories were made.

THE RISE OF ANGUS YUNG

 ANGUS YUNG musical artist BIOGRAPHY A 21 year old rapper from Hobart, going by the name "Angus Yung" (I was named Angus as my dad loved AC/DC and felt fitting) I've been writing music for around 7 years and  written close to 100 songs but none of them met the standard I wanted until I released my first one last month titled "On My Fashion". I have been skating for just as long too, which has influenced my music and vice versa, the two art forms go hand in hand for me and I hope to eventually move to the mainland to progress in both of those fields. Hobart is a difficult city to get recognition in for the music I make, as it is not the preferred music taste of the majority, which provides a unique challenge for me trying to get my home city on board with my sound. But actions speak louder than words so I feel the need to prove myself that I am legit. VISION & ACCOMPLISHMENTS My main goal is to be original and to not copy other sounds, success is easier...
