A Year of Octobers is the first collaborative studio album by American rapper MC Paul Barman and record producer Celestaphone.[1] It was released August 20, 2021, on Drumhex. Barman performs as virtual band member and alter ego YOUNGMAN on each song, except for "Guillotine", performed as himself. The album was produced entirely by Celestaphone.[2]
The YOUNGMAN character was created during conversations MC Paul Barman had with rapper MF Doom.[1] Their earliest appearances include songs "YOUNGMAN Speaks on (((race)))" on 2018's (((echo chamber))),[3] and "The Young Man Has A Point (Nurture)" from Milo's 2017 album Who Told You to Think??!!?!?!?![4]
