Spanish rapper Yung Beef draws praise on both sides of the Atlantic for his intoxicating mix of Atlanta trap, groovy reggaeton, and emotional rock music. Now, the Granada native provides the latest taste of his unique alchemy, sharing “Majin Vegeta,” his new video single. Named after a Dragon Ball Z villain who derives his power from dark forces, “Majin Vegeta” is a low-key  reggaeton-influenced slapper, produced by two of Yung Beef’s favorite collaborators Pipo Beatz and Kid Favela. Yung Beef layers on the auto-tune and attacks the beat from unconventional angles, giving an ethereal quality to his street savvy lyrics. In the video, Yung Beef mobs on the Mediterranean coast of Spain with a crew of close associates, as they take turns whipping a BMW and an ATV, along with his devilishly adorable pet pit bull.

“Majin Vegeta” is the first single from El Plugg 2, the genre-bending artist’s upcoming project. The sequel to Yung Beef’s 2018 El Plugg Mixtape, which featured production from Mexiko Dro, El Plugg 2 was widely acclaimed for its combination of sounds, mixing elements of Punk and alt-rock with trap music, earning over 21 million streams worldwide. El Plugg 2 features production from American rap sound architect DP Beats (Lil Uzi Vert, Playboi Carti), as well as contributions from Yung Beef’s favorite collaborators like JAGURCLAW, Pochi and Kid Favela. Staying true to Yung Beef’s artistic roots, the upcoming project features contributions from Goa, who connected with Beef for “Guns N Roses” on the original El Plugg, and most notably Pablo Chill-E, a frequent collaborator of Yung Beef and one of the hottest rappers in South America.  El Plugg 2 arrives in April 2021 via EMPIRE.

Yung Beef shows no signs of slowing down after releasing 4 projects in 2020, garnering 70M+ total streams worldwide. The projects included Shishi Plugg, a collaborative project with Pablo Chill-E that featured the single “No Nos Pueden Suportar“ (the first song by a Spanish rapper to gain more than 1 million views on the WorldStarHipHop YouTube channel), and Sonrisas, which  featured production from Brodinski and a guest spot from 645AR. The Spanish icon had a busy live schedule planned for 2020, before the pandemic hit, including a duo spot at Lollapalooza Chile with Pablo Chill-E, and his own curated stage at Primavera Sound in Barcelona. Expect Yung Beef to pick up where he left off with these festivals in 2022.

Stay tuned for more music from El Plugg 2 to come in the coming weeks.
