Breaking out onto the scene with his never-seen-before multilingual, vernacular hip hop “The Intro”, Yung Sammy has been a force to reckon with ever since. Riding the wave he created for himself, he went on to collaborate with artists in the Delhi scene and release single after single. In July of 2024 he finally did what everyone was asking for, he dropped an EP titled “In the Building”, a callback to the hook of “The Intro”, implying that he aims to do what he did with that song, let everyone know that he’s arrived.
The first song hits you in the gut with heavy drill 808s and drums which act as a canvas for Yung Sammy to paint over. He comes in hot, delivering quick lines about him and his team never stopping and going all in, as the title of the song suggests. Bandzo3rd matches Yung Sammy’s energy with aggressive and energetic bars, looking down on his competition and calling himself the realest one out there. The beat switches to boom bap drums for a second before he also talks about his recent arrest (He was arrested for allegedly carrying illegal firearms and for being a part of a physical altercation). We also get to know a little bit about how this song came to be, and how he’s living his best life, flexing on his competition. Yung Sammy comes in with one more verse and the hook to close out this song. Baatcheet addresses similar themes with a Bollywood song sample and Spanish themed guitars.
The second track has a stacked feature roster. Boyblanck, BBB and Urban Poet lend their verses to this one. The beat (courtesy K1) isn’t very busy on this one, it only features a pitched-up bass line and some percussion elements, yet it still hits hard and gives the rappers space to really etch out some crazy flows and pockets. We hear Yung Sammy with the hook on this one after which the mic goes to Urban Poet who comes in with witty braggadocious lines, talking about how everyone knows his name from Noida to Gurgaon (opposites sides of NCR), how he eats up the careers of rappers every day and how he doesn’t perform for exposure anymore, instead he takes fees. He also shouts out his fellow collaborators on his verse. (Urban Poet and Yung Sammy get on the mic again for G Class, where they take an old school alternate delivery approach, which is very refreshing to hear on a modern rap song)
BoyBlanck goes toe to toe with Urban Poet, delivering similar staple flex lines, also a lot of witty one liners, about how he’s been working out lately to lose some weight. He ends his verse by shouting out his city Noida, setting up the stage for BBB to come in. BBB comes in with a very interesting flow, cycling between a chill laid back flow and a fast triplet chopper flow. This acts as a nice change of pace and keeps the listener hooked to his next line. He closes out his verse with a hilarious reference from Arpit Bala and Dank Rishu’s “BIGGEST INDIAN FITNESS COLLAB” video with the line “nu kehri 16 ki hu, mujhe laga sector”. Yung Sammy comes in for one last hook and lets the beat breathe for a bit before we go into the next track.
Bounce switches the vibe of the EP, going to an RnB, chill type beat over which Yung Sammy comes in with a sung verse about girls he’s met and how they want to get with him because he’s famous and has money, but he pays them no attention. Baatcheet features a Bollywood song sample and Spanish themed guitars. Urban Poet and Yung Sammy get on the mic again for G Class, where they take an old school alternate delivery approach, which is very refreshing to hear on a modern rap song. The EP ends with a club banger titled “Tension Mat Le”. It’s got everything a club song needs, fast pulsating synths, an earworm of a lead line and a super catchy hook. Mumzy lends his voice to this one for the pre chorus, closing out the EP on a high note.
This EP proves that Yung Sammy is a chameleon of genres who can do anything from aggressive drill tracks, laid back RnB tracks, to making you move on a club beat. With his first EP being a message to listeners as to what he’s capable of, the only way for him to go is up.
