‘Wave Life’ is the second release from East London rapper YS Wave’s debut EP Wave Life (2020). YS WAVE produced the track himself, showcasing both his artistic and production skills. Like previous single ‘Humble,’ ‘Wave Life’ epitomises the dynamic vibe YS Wave has been bringing to the UK music scene since 2017.

The up-tempo track fuses together hints of trap with more futuristic sounds (think Travis Sott), and is a contagious mix of vocals and rapping. The young rapper also hits us with iconic wordplay and some striking bars. ‘Wave Life’ is definitely also a track you can turn up to and brings through an infectious energy.

The wave element comes to represent a lot of different things in both the track and throughout the EP. Firstly, it’s the ability to remain steady when the waves of life hit — a way of life and a state of mind. It’s also a future focused metaphor, describing YS Wave’s impending takeover and influence. Like the lyrics, the visuals — directed by Joseph Kundi — also capture the wave essence YS Wave has created.

With a focus on water, the shots move between London (most notably Tower Bridge) and a beach location, with YS Wave remaining at the centre throughout.

YS Wave has been on the scene since 2014 producing tracks like ‘Madness’ (2015) and ‘On the Low’ (2015) under the moniker Young Sneakz. 2017 brought on a new name and a new sound for this East London rapper and he’s been perfecting his craft ever since.
