Bingkai Karya — Rising hip-hop artist and self-taught composer YAUNG is set to release his brand-new single “FLOATING” this Friday at 12AM SGT. At just 25 years old, YAUNG has been carving his own lane in Southeast Asia’s hip-hop scene since his debut in 2022. Known for his love of old-school hip-hop and his flair for experimenting with cinematic rap landscapes, YAUNG continues to prove that artistry comes alive when authenticity meets passion.
With “FLOATING”, YAUNG unveils a softer, more reflective side of his artistry. The track is an ode to devotion, to music, to art, and to the fleeting yet beautiful moments of life. It embodies the feeling of being so in love with your craft that you lose yourself in it, while also expressing gratitude for the present and appreciation for the journey itself.
Built on chill, atmospheric production infused with nostalgic undertones, the song highlights YAUNG’s versatility as both a rapper and composer. It’s not just about ambition or hustle, it’s about taking a step back, breathing in, and realizing how blessed it feels to be alive in the moment.
Since the release of his debut track in 2022, YAUNG has stayed true to his vision: pushing boundaries, refusing to conform, and creating music that reflects his innermost self. Whether he’s crafting an anthem for New Balance’s Gray Day sneaker launch or closing out an electrifying night at the Wonder Room with Moët Hennessy, YAUNG always channels authenticity into performance and production.
His collaborations with global brands and luxury names showcase his ability to bridge street culture with high artistry, while still keeping his music deeply personal. With “FLOATING”, YAUNG demonstrates that hip-hop can be both intimate and cinematic, full of reflection but still brimming with energy.
YAUNG also makes history as the first Southeast Asian artist to feature an Aston Martin Vantage in his creative work, cementing his reputation as a trailblazer who fearlessly redefines how music and culture intersect. This bold move highlights his ambition to place Southeast Asian hip-hop on the global stage, merging artistry with lifestyle and vision.
“‘FLOATING’ is really about that feeling when you’re lost in your art, when you’re so grateful that you get to live this life and do what you love. I wanted the track to carry both chill vibes and a nostalgic energy, like a reminder to slow down and just fall in love with the moment.” – YAUNG
YAUNG invites fans and new listeners alike to step into his world, where hip-hop meets cinematic soundscapes, where authenticity speaks louder than trends, and where life itself is worth celebrating.
