After starting his career with a variety of singles ever since 2019, rapper and singer YUNG BOI finally makes his full-length debut with what seems to be the first part of a much larger project in chico joven vol. 1, an album that serves as an encapsulation of his sound and what he’s willing to explore. chico joven vol. 1 starts with “feka”, a collaboration with pabloboah that mixes trap and R&B with lo-fi aesthetics. Afterwards, “5am” is another mix of R&B and trap soundscapes, but this time with some psychedelic visuals as the musician uses them to display his storytelling abilities. Next, “Supongamos” finds Jovaan and Joedyyrt joining the mix in another love-driven track. Subsquently, “memorias” serves as a display of BOI’s reggaeton flow as he presents another love-driven track. “too much </3” starts the second half of the album as YUNG BOI mixes his emo trap aesthetics with some hypnotic acoustic guitar samples that’ll definitely connect with a broad range of listeners. Then Channeland Joedyyrt join in “se me olvida”, an interesting exploration of love and memories across an entrancing beat that blends bass heavy trap and synth pop. Finally, the project closes with “el nivel”, a short collaboration with Fara that shows some banger potential.
Overall, YUNG BOI’s chico joven vol. 1 is a nice love-driven project that finds the musician presenting his blend of R&B, reggaeton and trap to a broader audience while collaborating with various artists.
