London’s Youngs Teflon is rapidly increasing in his stature both in the UK and unsurprisingly also is beginning to make a name for himself in America. He is a solid lyricist but in no way is a boom bapper, but rather a hybrid of grime and drill and trap with a particular London flair that makes him magnetic from the first listen.

Last week I covered his track “Broken Safety” that was a great deal more poignant and serious than his latest drop “Things.” Intended to be more of a banger, Youngs Tef traded in the bars in favor of gun reform for some more confrontational, street-wise lyrics on an up-tempo beat that allowed him to shine. He is rapidly becoming one of my favorite rappers and I would definitely recommend checking out his music.
