Yanz, also known as King Yanz, returns with a powerful new single titled “Ray”, a confident, authentic hip-hop track that showcases lyrical precision, sharp delivery, and unshakable energy. Now available on all major streaming platforms, “Ray” is the latest glimpse into Yanz’s evolving sound and creative vision ahead of his upcoming album Jeppisboy.
Born in Finland to Congolese roots and shaped by the raw pulse of the UK rap scene, Yanz brings a unique voice to the table, one that effortlessly merges old-school hip-hop with UK drill, grime, and conscious rap. On “Ray,” he teams up with yung fume to deliver a tight, collaborative performance with razor-sharp flows, a memorable hook, and a beat that carries serious weight.
The synergy between both performers is one of the song’s standout elements, especially on the hook, which strikes a perfect balance between catchy and hard-hitting. The production is clean, the instrumental is polished, and the overall delivery feels focused, fresh, and unmistakably real.
Yanz continues to stand apart with his lyrical vulnerability and fearless self-expression. Drawing heavily from his life experiences, he creates music that transcends cultural boundaries while staying deeply rooted in authenticity.
A known jazz aficionado, Yanz often brings a live-band feel into his work, blending improvisational jazz elements with the intensity of modern rap. “Ray” is another strong chapter in his catalog and sets the stage for what’s next: the upcoming album Jeppisboy, which includes the track “Finnäir,” a tribute to his Finnish roots.
