SHOWHILLA. – skinnyandsoft

On his debut album, Rooster blends melancholic reflection with a delicately detailed instrumental, creating an album that feels closer to poetry with a tailor-made soundtrack than a standard trap/hip-hop release. Rooster, also known as Yung Gud, is best known for his contributions to the early days of cloud rap with the Sad Boys collective, along with Yung Lean and Yung Sherman. While much of his legacy thus far has been tied to shaping that group’s sound, a matured Rooster allows him to step out from behind the DAW and frame his ideas in a more personal way. This shift is felt well across the album. Instead of producing for somebody else, he’s able to use his own delivery to embody the reflective, nostalgic atmosphere that was already well known in his beats.
