Artist Spotlight: Yung Fume

Yung Fume is a British rapper and songwriter who emerged from London’s thriving drill and trap scene in the mid-2010s.

Known for his melodic flow and introspective lyrics, Fume began making waves in the UK underground with a series of mixtapes and collaborations. His style blends elements of drill, trap, and R&B, creating a sound that’s both hard-hitting and introspective.

Fume’s breakout came with tracks like “Watch Me Flex” and “No Manners,” which showcased his ability to craft catchy hooks over dark, brooding beats. His 2018 project “Noughts & Crosses” further cemented his position in the UK rap scene.

The track “BRB” exemplifies Fume’s signature style, combining a moody, atmospheric production with his melodic delivery and introspective lyrics. It’s a prime example of how he straddles the line between street-hardened rap and more emotionally vulnerable R&B-influenced tracks.

As Yung Fume continues to evolve his sound and build his fanbase, he represents the new wave of UK rap artists who are pushing the boundaries of the genre and gaining international recognition.
