Armed with indie rock samples from acts like Wye Oak and Yeasayer, Bay Area rapper/producer Young L is at perhaps his most contemplative and motivated on his latest mixtape.

He's particularly fond of textured synthesizers that help to create a lush atmosphere around his thoughtful rhymes. You can both stream and download the tape below.
