Hudi: The new 'Yung' music video is low-key and high-key a major flex

There’s no slowing down what hip-hop artist Hudi is serving up these days. With a full-fledged studio effort dropping soon, it’s only right he gets people hyped with the new ‘Yung’ single and music video.

The visual is all about having fun and keeping things a buck. Peep the details and keep scrolling to see Hudi embracing being a young boy.

Before he was Hudi, he was Hudson Prichett, an early aughts uptown kid whose grandmother nicknamed him “Huddy” and who grew up with the sounds of 50 Cent, Jay-Z, The Neptunes, Missy Elliott, and Eminem in his walkman headphones. The budding artist began rapping as a kid, but he first experimented with making music in secret, borrowing his mother’s blue snowball mic (she sings, teaches vocal coaching at NY, and at one time wrote for The New York City Jazz Record) and messing around with Garageband and Logic in the confines of his own room.

Hudi taught himself how to produce on YouTube before releasing his first project at the age of 17. Fast forward a couple years after being discovered on Soundcloud, Hudi was introduced to his current manager who coincidentally happens to be a former student of his mother’s. Hudi’s debut EP TSAR (2020) earned praise in MTV, Early Rising, and Fashionably Early and his talents have already garnered him playlist support from Spotify (New Music Friday, Fresh Finds; Anti Pop) and Apple Music (Chill Rap; Emo Rap; Vibes).
