Video: YungManny – “The Road”
The 16-Year-Old Maryland Rapper Shares an Exuberant, WHIPALO-Directed Video for a Confused EP Highlight
Critical Praise:
“YungManny Is the Trash-Talking Teen Taking the DMV by Storm…For me, YungManny’s appeal isn’t pegged to a single song or mixtape; instead, it’s the humorous puns and clever threats spread throughout his growing catalog that grab me. Behind all of the theatrics and charisma is a rapper helping to make the current DMV wave more accessible to the masses. Because if hip-hop loves anything, it’s teens like YungManny talking their shit.” – Pitchfork
“YungManny is the master of clean rap chaos” – The FADER
“Ever catch a rap show that feels so vivid, so brilliant, so dazzlingly present, it seems wrong to talk about it in the past tense?” – The Washington Post
The Video:
A prodigious talent with charisma to spare, YungManny switches between off-beat flows and candy-coated melodies with ease. Flashing his million-watt smile as he causes havoc in his town, Manny shares “The Road,” his latest video. Buoyed by spritely piano, YungManny plans to run from from the Feds, turning his escape into a vacation with his bae. In the video, directed by Manny’s frequent collaborator WHIPALO, the 16-year-old rapper commandeers a cop car, retreating to a remote location before taking over his local news station.
The follow-up to the chaotic video for “XD” (168k views on YouTube), “The Road” is the latest video from Confused, Manny’s new EP. Alternating between hard-hitting street joints and melodic rap jams, the new project finds the DMV native working his way out of “creative confusion” by testing the limits of his considerable skills, reveling in his own clever punchlines and taffy-like vocal runs. The EP features buzzing singles like the FADER-premiered “Blessings In Disguise,“ the buoyant “Margiela,“ and “Moana Pt. 2,” the manic sequel to “Moana,” Manny’s biggest hit. Featuring appearances from Manny’s cousin Xanman and fellow PG County native Shabazz PBG, Confused EP is available to stream on all platforms.
