London-based artist Yung Yusuf is a jack-of-all-trades in the music world. As a musician, rapper, and producer, he wears many hats. His latest single, “Are you okay?” delivers a poignant message for those with families in conflict zones. It’s a deeply moving track that delves into the emotional toll of constantly worrying about loved ones in danger.
Yung Yusuf pours his heart out with lines like, “My heart jumps when I see the news/I feel like I’m seeing you/And your family in Beirut/I think of Spleenter he’s out there too.” These words reveal his profound concern for their safety. Adding another layer to the song is vocalist and songwriter Sunkissed Child. She offers a comforting perspective for those numbed by the relentless violence.
But Yusuf’s talents don’t stop there. He seamlessly blends DJing with his live band, showcasing a sound that’s a rich tapestry of hip-hop, punk, jazz, and spoken word poetry. It’s a testament to his versatility and creativity, keeping listeners on their toes.
