YUG1, hailing from New Zealand, is a notable figure in the phonk music scene. His productions are characterized by the use of nostalgic 90s hip hop samples, lo-fi elements, and eerie vibes, seamlessly blended with modern trap influences. He is well-known for his collaborations with POOTY, particularly on tracks like “START TRIPPIN'” and “BOYZ FROM DA HILL.” These collaborations highlight his capability to create rich, atmospheric sounds that stay true to phonk’s deep roots in Memphis rap while embracing the evolution brought about by internet subcultures.
