Yhapojj’s ‘hope u like me’ has you covered ahead of Valentine’s Day
It’s way more than just a catchy song. It seeps into your soul and gets you catching serious vibes from start to finish.
Following a riotous NYC show that was shut down by the NYPD in December, Yhapojj has returned with his first new single of 2024, “hope u like me”, accompanied by a Sage Wolf-directed music video. Led by his viral standout single “1o” (3.5M+ Streams), the 19-year old artist from Hunstville, Alabama has risen to the forefront of the new wave in recent months since breaking into the top 100 of Apple Music’s ‘Top Albums’ chart with his latest 6-track EP, Evolution of Xur in November. Now with his first single of the year, “hope u like me”, Yhappojj is keeping his hot streak going into 2024 – continuing to feed the newfound demand for his idiosyncratic melody-driven sound and refreshing emotional candidness that has captured the imagination of the youth.
After following up his previous high water mark in “You Lookin Gud” (1.3M+ Streams) only a month later with “1o” and the entirety of his Evolution of Xur EP, Yhapojj has experienced a number of new highlights over the last few weeks. In December, his viral free show at Mercury Lounge in NYC was dramatically shut down due to massive overcrowding and resulted in an impromptu concert in LES Skatepark (documented by Our Generation Music alongside fellow rising stars xaviersobased and Nettspend). He also sat down with KidsTakeOver to discuss his recent rise, fascination with wolves, and the new wave “jerk” sound he’s helped pioneer. After earning his place on Year-End lists like No Bells’ ‘Best Internet Rap of 2023’, and being named one of OGM’s ‘Artists to Watch in 2024’, Yhapojj is taking full advantage of his moment in the spotlight with his new single “hope u like me” – out now via Simple Stupid Records.
