Yung Mal – One Night

Atlanta’s Yung Mal is known for his nimble flexes, but he’s equally capable of tugging at the heartstrings. Yung Mal’s “One Night” that just dropped is one of those latter tracks, and it makes me bump my head even as I empathize with the somber emotions behind Mal’s lyrics. Backed by low-hitting 808’s and a piano key beat, Yung Mal’s raspy melodic voice floats perfectly on top of it all; spitting lyrics taken straight from his heart like, “I love my son, he’s just getting older, I’d go to hell and back for my daughter” and recounting, “So many nights my momma cried.”
