Sydney Yungins turn up the heat with their new track 'Pull Up'
Sydney Yungins (formally known as Inner West Yungins) have been on the scene a while now and their ability to evolve and try out new sounds sets them aside from a lot of groups coming out of Sydney at the moment. The trio hail from Sydney's Inner West (and they don't let you forget it). I love hiphop groups in general, from Wu Tang to Section Boyz so the explosion of new groups in Sydney is one of the best developments that's come from the Polynesian hiphop movement from last year. Once again, Sydney Yungins set new levels on their new track 'Pull up'.
A few months ago, Sydney Yungins member Hefty announced his departure from the trio, which was unfortunate news for a lot of fans. The surprise with this new track is that they seem to have already found a new member which is dope, and he's dope! his names Leli Tonga and he's revealed on the last verse of the track. Don't get it twisted, Leli isn't just a reserve substitute, his cocky attitude shines through on this one. Leli definitely rounds out the trio, and in my opinion was a way better alternative then the group just becoming a duo. Leli's premiere wasn't even the biggest surprise on the track. Anyone that listens to this song for the first time won't be able to ignore the catchy af chorus. Rico Tonga sticks to Sydney Yungins tradition by always trying to level up each track and it works. The steel drums with Rico Tonga's vocals take me back to summer and I don't even know how, but he's able to still be staunch with the lyrics while also keeping his groove. Titoez does what he does best here, clear and impressive bars. His flow and lyrics on the first verse set the tone for the rest of the track. His bar about all his favourite rappers is one of my favourite on the track so far.
Once again Sydney Yungins have proved to be one of, if not the most versatile group in the country. I already know this track is going to do well and this chorus is easily one of my favourites of 2020.
