Yung Gleesh
Washington, D.C. rapper Yung Gleesh built a reputation for his thorny persona and enigmatic style, making a name for himself first in D.C.'s go-go scene, then as a provocative solo MC. He emerged with a series of self-produced mixtapes and quickly caught on nationally, eventually landing guest spots on tracks by Gucci Mane, A$AP Rocky, and others. Years of hard work and musical output continued, and Gleesh gained significant recognition for not just his rhymes, but his signature footwork moves dubbed "Gleesh Walk." His dance skills were prominently featured in both A$AP Rocky's "Multiply" video and the video for his own single "Pew Pew," both of which streamed in the millions.
Yung Gleesh was born Asa Asuncion in 1989. He grew up in Washington, D.C. and, before becoming a rapper, he was a percussionist in TOB, a go-go band he co-founded. His first forays into rap came in the early 2010s with a series of raw and unfiltered singles and mixtapes. Early mixtapes like Ain't Shit Changed and Cleanside's Finest 3 saw Gleesh shifting through various styles, with tracks like "Wasabi" predicting the mumble rap trend that would emerge in the years that followed. He was prominently featured in A$AP Rocky's 2014 video for "Multiply," not in a rap cameo but an extended segment that showcased his dancing. The video would go on to be viewed over 40 million times. More big-name collaborations followed, with Gleesh performing alongside Yung Lean, A$AP Mob, and others. This led the unsigned rapper to ink a deal with Asylum Records in 2017 and release his Gleesh mixtape with the label the following year.
