Yonas is a solo rapper from New York city and has started to make a name for himself in the independant rap circles. Releasing a large variety of different songs, Yonas is an artist that is pleasant to listen to even if one doesn't particularly like rap. Yonas has released numerous mixtapes and three full length albums although his most recent project is the "Going Places EP" featuring 5 original songs. Yonas isn't extremely unique in his lyrics or songwriting but compared to other rappers he has a strong positive vibe in his music and in his character. He carries a charisma that many rappers don't seem to possess and it is evident in his music which is unique because he is. Here are Fresh Penguins top 3 favourite songs by Yonas.
1. Live It Up: The lead single of his most recent EP and one of his most upbeat songs. It captures what rap could become if it avoids strippers and drugs and focuses more on the good of the world. A happy song lead by driving piano, Kid Cudi-esque positive vibes and impressive rap. This song is a great listen to whoever, wherever and whenever.
2. Fall Back: Yonas' most popular song featuring deeper lyrics as a broken man declares his rock-bottom state. The song is melancholy and real compared to his upbeat pieces.
3. Tell Me: An acoustic lead song featuring Yonas' signature cheerful energy. A well produced rap anthem for parties, driving, or whenever you feel down.
