Yung Lean is setting out on his 2022 Starz/Stardust tour in Europe and North America, marking Lean's first shows on the continent since the release of his last studio album, Starz, which arrived just months into the pandemic. Lean is a Stockholm-based artist who debuted in 2013 with the twice-viral "Ginseng Strip 2002," a trailblazer, responsible for setting and supporting countless trends in modern Rap and Alternative music. His career has been shockingly unique, not only for his international success as a Swedish rapper, but also the partnerships he has forged having collaborated with mainstream rappers like Travis Scott, alt-pop stars like FKA Twigs and avant-garde experimentalists like Dean Blunt, Lean flits across genre and social barriers like water through a sieve.
~~~~~~~~
One of the first Swedish rappers to break across the globe, Yung Lean kicked off his career with the Sad Boys, a crew with a name that reflected the melancholic nature of Lean's music. Born Jonatan Leandoer Håstad, Lean was 16 when he joined producers Yung Gud and Yung Sherman in the Sad Boys around 2012. A year later the crew was releasing tracks under Yung Lean's name, including "Ginseng Strip 2002," which earned two million views after it became a viral hit. The Unknown Death 2002 mixtape landed that same year along with the Lavender EP, which gave "Ginseng Strip 2002" an official release. His Unknown Memory album followed in 2014 and was supported by a tour of Europe and North America. A year later he cut the "Crystal Clear Ice" single for the Adult Swim label. ~ David Jeffries, Rovi
