Yonas Michael ft. Brooker T - PUNKS

Yonas Michael - PUNKS

Producer: Klutch

Album: Lost in Hollywood

Label: Unsigned

To address the proverbial elephant in the room right off the bat, yes, this Yonas Michael is the same Y.0. that rocked so many U-N-I tracks, and yes, U-N-I has broken up, and no, it’s not worth delving into why here. Instead, let’s just focus on the fact that, whatever moniker is attached, good music is continuing to come our way from the man, good music like PUNKS. As you’d expect with a title like that, producer Klutch builds the foundation of PUNKS with some distinctly punk and indie rock scaffolding that’s simultaneously aggressive and mellowed, inspiring Yonas and collaborator Booker T (no, not the MGs frontman or the wrestler) to follow the lead and deliver some distorted, unapologetically disaffected vocals that don’t just cross genres, it annihilates them. So how about it DJBooth Nation, is this one inspiring you to go throw on that Sex Pistols album and break out the safety pins? Either way, with an introduction like this there’s just no telling what Michael’s upcoming album, Lost in Hollywood, will sound like when it drops October 31. Fans will just have to cop it via The DJBooth to find out.

DJ Z DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 11882	Rating: DJ Z's Top Rated Songs This is one of those "different, but not for the sake of just wanting to be different" records. Which is a good thing. Huge crossover appeal, but might not be beloved by Yonas' hip hop fans. Follow @DJBooth

djblaze DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 8304	Rating: djblaze's Top Rated Songs This is definitely something different. I kinda-like the production on here with that 80's type vibe to it and Yonas did a decent job too. This can go into rotation. I don't known why, but I like it... Must be an 80's baby thing.
