YDB makes a bold statement with “SORTIE4,” an EP that radiates authenticity and emotional depth. Joined by Xcusemee, this release delivers a potent blend of melodic trap and polished egotrip, painting a vivid picture of a generation torn between ambition, toxic ties, and the search for truth.
The production is sharp and deliberate, weaving intricate toplines with beats that hit hard but leave room for reflection. “SORTIE4” thrives on this duality, an anthem for those chasing success while navigating the complexities of modern relationships. YDB’s delivery is confident yet vulnerable, striking that rare balance that gives the track its magnetic pull.
What makes this EP stand out is its seamless connection to the broader vision of the EP. Tracks like “SHAKIRA,” “C’EST DOMMAGE,” “BRUNCH A LOUISE,” and “ELLE MERITE” aren’t just fillers; they build on the same raw energy and narrative depth. Together, they offer a snapshot of urban life that feels unfiltered and artfully crafted, making “SORTIE4” a gateway to a larger, compelling story.
YDB and Xcusemee establish themselves as emerging voices in the Francophone urban scene. “SORTIE4” encapsulates a moment, a mood, and a movement. It warrants a prominent place on your playlist, and once it’s on repeat, you’ll see why.
