Young Stoner Life signee Yung Kayo is one of the most standout new rappers around, so get familiar with him. The DC-bred artist and Young Thug protégé released his debut album, "DFTK (Down for the Kount)," in February 2022, a project that was met with considerable praise and dubbed an "exhilarating opening salvo" by Pitchfork. Though Kayo's label head is currently embroiled in an ongoing RICO case, the 19-year-old is still pushing forward with promising music.
Most recently, the rapper dropped his "Nineteen" EP to coincide with his birthday on Nov. 29, and it's a seven-track offering filled with Auto-Tuned raps and melodic flows that highlight his futuristic sound. Kayo has the potential to be a roaring success in hip-hop, and he still has so much more to offer, so you'll want to keep an eye on the young talent.
