Yung Fume
Noughts & Crosses 3
Album · Hip-Hop/Rap · 2017
Emerging from South London’s Thornton Heath alongside Krept & Konan, Stormzy and Section Boyz, Yung Fume has been endorsed by Ty Dolla $ign as well as many of his UK peers. His appeal is immediately obvious on this compelling blend of street tales, introspection and whip-smart braggadocio set to trap-influenced beats. Fume claims his fluid, Auto-Tuned vocal earned him “bare hate” when he first started making music, but it carves out supremely addictive melodies here, particularly on “Look What I Did” and the pensive “You Ain’t for Me”.
