On New Year’s Day 2018, Danish rapper and producer Y99 (pronounced WhyNinety-Nine) made a promise to himself: no matter what, this would be the year that he became a musician. Sure enough, he released his debut EP “Soldater” exactly twelve months later, and he’s never looked back since. Although it was only his first release, “Soldater” served as the perfect introduction to Y99’shard-hitting, melodic style of rap. Featuring strange, slightly unorthodox lyrics, Y99’s verses on the project reflected his struggles with paranoid schizophrenia in real life, giving the EP a unique sound and style. He developed this sound further over the course of 2019, going on to release 3 more singles that year: the English tracks “Richez” and “We Goin’ Up”, as well as the Danish-language “DuMå Forstå” (“You Must Understand”). All three songs were well-received online, with “Richez” in particular becoming an underground hit. The song has since racked up over ten thousand streams across all digital platforms. His latest single, “Rush”, arrived in March 2020. Currently, Y99 is preparing for the release of a full-length Danish album, which is set to drop sometime this year.
