Yung Lean: Unknown Memory (2014) (Hip-hop,Trap)

Though it at times it can feel inconsequential and flippant, allowing yourself to be consumed by the misty Lean in it's gooey, druggy nature can amount to moments of bliss and intensity (Sunrise Angel, Yoshi City, Volt). Production is largely influenced by Clams Casino cloud rap aesthetics of the time but prepare for a subtle dose of 80s synth-wave and electro. Many songs have very fast tempos and are not just a cloud of intoxication. Don't expect much from the raps but Lean allows himself the freedom to experiment under the hazy veil of production showing that him and his Sadboys collective are worthwhile for the times they get it right.

Best Tracks: Sunrise Angel, Yoshi City, Ghosttown, Volt*
