Lazy
We say
Hailing from Manchester, Y.O.U.N.G are a five-piece who formed just over a year ago and are gaining considerable momentum with an online fanbase fast approaching 150k combined followers. Their new single, released today, blends chilled hip-hop beats and mellow reggae guitars with a bleary-eyed flow and a ‘90s tinged production to create an infectious laid-back anthem. Previous singles, What I Gotta Do, a social media only release, clocked up over 1.2m Facebook plays, whilst Exposure, has amassed over 250k on YouTube, entered the top ten in Music Week’s club charts and gained plays on BBC Introducing and Radio X. Comprising of Chez Davies (vocals/guitar), Ben James (rapper), James Skehan (guitar/production), Tom Whitehead (bass) and Graeme Smith (drums), the group are preparing to play their first ever UK headline tour in association with Live Nation through February and March, including a show at London, Camden Assembly on 4 March.
