This guy and his crew are in no way or form 'rappers' in a sense there more dominate in the genre of 'vapourwave' with some influences from rap/hip-hop music

At first i didn't like this guys music at all because i approached it with the impression that it was an attempt at 'rap' music. However, after awhile i did my research and now look at the music in a completely different perspective, the 'trippy' nature of this music is really outstanding and artistic. As a bundle i believe it is meant to serve as an 'experience'.
The production style from the crew is very unique and is obviously the pulling nature of this group i personally thoroughly enjoy it. There is a obvious scope of talent somewhere in the making of this music.
i emphasis that 'Yung Lean' and his crew should not be solely considered or defined as 'rappers' but instead there presence vocally should be considered something that is APART of the music and the experience it provides.

Sad Boys consists of rapper Yung Lean and producers Yung Sherman and Yung Gud. It all started in a park where Yung Lean met Yung Gud and Yung Sherman, they found out they liked the same music and created Hasch Boys. Hasch Boys consisted of a few other people in Sweden, including Gravity Boys/Shield Gang. Lean, Gud and Sherman found out they were the only ones who were active in this crew, so they started Sad Boys. One part of the Sad Boys "culture" is putting 2001,2002,2003 or sometimes 2004 in their song/album titles, because they thought those were the most emotional years. Gravity Boys and Sad Boys are two separate groups, but they share a member, Yung Sherman, who produces for both of the crews. Bladee, Thaiboy Goon and Ecco2k are Gravity Boys' rappers, Yung Sherman and White Armor are Gravity Boys' producers. Ecco2k also produces music under the name of "Aloegarten" and runs a clothing brand named "Alaska", he has also made some videos for Yung Lean and Yung Sherman. Yung Lean & Sad Boys sometimes have very limited merch, working with brands as Mishka and Friday USA. He also recently released his first very own merch collection, as "Sad Boys Entertainment", with Odie Wavy, an associate of Sad Boys, modelling. Creative director of Sad Boys is Max Ronnersjo.
