Early life

Yandel Sosa was born in New York City, New York, U.S.[1]

Career

In 2024, Sosa released his debut album Trap Finesse Cult, which according to New York magazine The Fader, "experiment[s] with piercing dissonance and glazed flows".[1] The publication added that Sosa had drawn influence from acts such as Glo Gang, Goth Money Records, and the "modern SoundCloud rap underground."[1] The song "Finesse Cult Anthem" featured American rapper Jaydes.[1]

Pitchfork selected Sosa's song "Ian Goin" as contender for the song of the summer.[2] Music journalist Kieran Press-Reynolds labelled it "one of 2024's Songs of the Summer", writing, "This is the logical excruciating endpoint of the 'terror plugg' style, a 75-second jolt of producer Karakuli's maddening beat-screeches".[3][2] In another Pitchfork article, Press-Reynolds cited his cousin as making beats for Sosa.[4] The single "Ian Goin" was credited with spearheading a wave of plugg music showcasing aggressive 808s, which Press-Reynolds labeled "extremo-plugg".[3]
