In the short existence that the YUNG LP has been available to the
world, Linafornia’s debut album has captured the minds of a whole
new generation that loves loops, samples, and heavy rhythms.
Launched on the Los Angeles based label Dome of Doom in
the cassette and digital domains, YUNG is seeing its first vinyl
pressing to begin 2018, supplanted with a bonus track featuring
the legendary Georgia Anne Muldrow. With early support from
The Wire, Impose Magazine, L.A. Record, LA Weekly, and many
more, YUNG has become a celebrated album from the storied LA
beat scene.
2017 catapulted Linafornia’s music career to another level,
pushing over 700 cassettes across the world, headlining gigs
through multiple US regions, opening up for Tune-Yards across
the west coast, and building out her first residency in Los Angeles
under the ‘Queens of the New Age’ moniker. The festival circuit is
finding introduction to Linafornia as well, including performances
at Soundset Festival in Minnesota, with acts Gucci Mane,
Atmosphere, Denzel Curry, Talib Kweli, Lauryn Hill, Pusha T,
D.R.A.M., and Pete Rock, along with Hiero Day 2017, featuring
artists such as Lil’ B, Ras Kass, Dead Prez, and Toro y Moi.
Her energy on stage and on record is magnetic, with YUNG still
blazing a trail in the beat maker community.
YUNG takes its final form on clear green vinyl, and will be served
up in a limited edition first pressing of 500 copies. |
