YUNGMORPHEUS is an American rapper and record producer, originally from Miami but now based in LA. He’s previously released music on Leaving Records, Bad Taste and Rap Vacation and collaborated with Pink Siifu, Moor Mother, Fly Anakin, Koncept Jack$on and Ohbliv.
In March 2021 YUNGMORPHEUS released ‘Thumbing Thru Foliage’, which fused personal stories and socio-political issues with his signature wit and blunted style. It was produced entirely by ewonee and lauded in Pitchfork, SPIN, AV Club and by Mary Anne Hobbs on BBC 6Music, who featured the album and interviewed him on her show.
In October 2021, he released ‘Affable With Pointed Teeth’, his collaborative project with Filipino artist and producer Eyedress, an experimental body of work that melded Eyedress’ lo-fi production with the slowly unfolding storytelling prowess of YUNGMORPHEUS. Featuring a collaboration with Pink Siifu, the album was supported by Okayplayer, Brooklyn Vegan, Alternative Press, Dummy and BBC Radio 1Xtra.
His latest release was a collaborative project produced entirely by NYC producer THERAVADA entitled ‘Up Against The Wall; A Degree Of Lunacy’, released in July 2022 on Bad Taste Records, and lauded by Brooklyn Vegan, Stereogum and BBC 6Music.
