Based in Blackpool, YoungBloodRap is a modern hip hop artist whose lifelong passion for rap drives a creative vision that blends the genre’s classic elements with cutting edge influences, resulting in a sound that’s exciting, compelling and entirely his own. Known for his storytelling writing, YoungBloodRap has been making a significant impression in the UK rap scene over the last two and a half years.
From the start of his journey, YoungBloodRap has shown a knack for connecting with listeners via lyrical flair and slick delivery. After releasing several well-received tracks since his 2022 debut, “Never Be Alone,” YoungBloodRap now delivers his latest single titled “Okay To Not Be Okay,” a powerful anthem of determination and self-acceptance.
The track was born out of collaboration and creative synergy when producer Joe Gautrey introduced YoungBloodRap to a soulful beat featuring the vocals of singer Amy Allard. The uplifting energy and the track’s meaningful message immediately struck a chord with the artist, inspiring him to craft and record his verse in his home studio.
Cutting UK rap with melodic textures and channelling a message of hope and understanding, the song’s powerful theme, reminding people that it’s truly okay to acknowledge and embrace mental health struggles, offers a hopeful and positive context for listeners. YoungBloodRap chose to debut “Okay To Not Be Okay” live on TikTok, where it instantly connected with thousands of listeners.
Set up by delicate acoustic guitar notes as the elegant voice of Amy Allard drifts through a misty soundscape, YoungBloodRap’s smooth rapped flows enter above the gentle snap of the beat, crafting a moving and uplifting hip hop jam. Brimming with optimistic lyricism and stitched with dazzling melodic hooks, “Okay To Not Be Okay” presents a stunning sound that’s equally memorable and meaningful.
Once again using his platform to inspire and uplift, by threading personal struggles and triumphs into his music, he offers listeners a sense of solidarity and hope to listeners everywhere. With a growing fanbase and a clear artistic vision, YoungBloodRap is most certainly an artist to watch in the UK hip hop scene and we can’t wait to see what he’s got in store next.
