Listen to the new single 'even if it is so'.
Queens rapper Deem Spencer is set to release his new transitional EP, ‘yung’, on April 11th through drink sum wtr.
Building on his collaboration with producer Jackson Pittman, which produced last year's ‘all these crying birds’, the three-track ‘yung’ reflects Deem Spencer’s DIY, free-associative style that characterized his early releases, described as his “audio diaries”.
“These tracks are among my favorites from my sessions with Jackson,” Spencer shares. “I originally intended to reserve them for my next album, but several months ago I learned what the next album would actually be. I’m excited to share these songs now.”
Accompanied by unconventional, mellow beats, the three-track EP highlights the dual aspects of Deem’s personality, filled with elliptical insights, understated hooks, and a lyrical style that is both quirky and conversational. The first glimpse comes with ‘Even if it is tho’, an uplifting tribute to perseverance and hard-earned freedom.
“Each song, distinct in its own way, showcases the qualities of myself that I take the most pride in,” he adds.
