Unknown Memory
Genre: Cloud Rap, Experimental Hip-Hop
Brief description: "Unknown Memory" is the second studio album by Swedish rapper/artist Yung Lean, released on September 23, 2014, via YEAR0001. A pioneering work in the cloud rap genre, the album features ambient, atmospheric production alongside introspective lyrics exploring themes of love, isolation, and the digital world. Lean’s collaborators, Yung Gud and Yung Sherman, craft lush soundscapes filled with dreamy synths and echoing beats, perfectly complementing his signature vocal delivery. Tracks like “Blinded” and “Sunrise Angel” reflect a maturing artist diving into deeper emotional territory. One interesting thing about the album is that it marked Yung Lean’s transition from underground sensation to a global figure in experimental hip-hop.
