The Yung Mars Project w/ 40 Love live @ Coda
Yung Mars
Infectious hooks. Insightful rhymes. A refreshing take on Hip-Hop. Blending classic soul, modern beats, and futuristic funk, Yung Mars has created and refined a sound that is truly original. His music has more head and more heart than your average radio rap. It speaks to people. It's like getting an inside look into the young lyricist's journalspinning with raw social commentary, and self-awareness that feels remarkably honest.
Yung Mars has his hand in every stage of the creative process, from beat making and arranging, to mixing and mastering. Favoring live instrumentation to sample-based music, he plays guitar, bass, and keys on many of his tracks. With a penchant for clever word play and thick harmonized choruses, Mars' songs are catchy without being cliché.
Yung Mars wowed the college scene in 2007, when his self-titled debut reached #3 on the CMJ Hip Hop Top 20the only self-released album on the charts at the time.
