Yung Gleesh - My Life Is A Cartoon [Unofficial]

An unofficial compilation tape, made by myself, of Yung Gleesh (or Boogie as he was once known) tracks I found fucking around on YouTube that aren’t on either of his tapes. Hoping he didn’t get the same managerial treatment as Trel & the Slutty Boyz did. Click the photo or here to download

Yung Gleesh - Cleanside’s Finest

Picture this: Your typical DC crack dealer browsing the new releases on DatPiff and happens across Red Flame. Now imagine that same dealer decides to start rapping. In steps Yung Gleesh, a shining diamond in the DC scene. For those who don’t get it, Gleesh is a rap weirdo too eclectic to fit in with his home team and has enough of an ego that he plays on the border of shameless. He manages to adopt the based style into his own equally fascinating crack dealer/fuck the club up rhymes without completely echoing Lil B but rather uses the based style as a prism to reflect his own strange mind through unlike previous “based” rappers. But it’s not just rapping like BasedGod that makes a rapper based, it’s this quality of consciousness/personality being expressed thru a rappers music that Gleesh totally embraces, whether talking about his spontaneous beefs with his girlfriend, his self loathing, or his days as a wild teenager on songs that seem otherwise harmless, e.g., on the track “Coca Cola Flow”, he recites the lines “City filled with producers that never produced shit/Block is full of losers that will never ever do shit” which is interesting because about this point, the tape stops being arrogant crack rap and starts becoming Gleesh somberly reflecting on the state of his city and his own life. Whether you call him Yung Gleesh, Gleesh, Gleetchi, Fuckhead, Dumbass, Shitbag, or Dumbass In The Corner With Yo Hat On With Yo Bitch Ass, he’s definitely one to pay close attention to.
