Having spent the last couple of years making a name for himself with a string of well-executed singles and the widely-praised “Just Being Honest” freestyle (each exploring different strains of hip-hop), emerging rapper Valentino is back to make a big impact with his trippy new single “YKTV (You Know The Vibes)”. Handling production, mixing and mastering himself, this hands-on approach is clearly the way forward. Juxtaposing a dreamy, twinkling instrumental against his punchy flow and nimble rhymes, Valentino reveals a keen instinct for every aspect of the creative process.

Keep an eye on this one.
