Yandel Sosa, known professionally as Yuke (stylized in all lowercase), is an American rapper and record producer. He has collaborated with artists such as Jaydes. In 2024, he released his debut album Trap Finesse Cult. Pitchfork selected his song "Ian Goin" for their list of "2024's Songs of the Summer".
Life and career Yandel Sosa was born in New York City to Dominican parents. In 2024, Sosa released his debut album Trap Finesse Cult, which, according to Jordan Darville of The Fader, "experiment[s] with piercing dissonance and glazed flows". Darville added that Sosa had drawn influence from acts such as Glo Gang, Goth Money Records, and the "modern SoundCloud rap underground." The song "Finesse Cult Anthem" featured American rapper Jaydes.
Pitchfork selected Sosa's 2024 single "Ian Goin" as contender for the song of the summer. Music journalist Kieran Press-Reynolds labelled it "one of 2024's Songs of the Summer", writing: "This is the logical excruciating endpoint of the 'terror plugg' style, a 75-second jolt of producer Karakuli's maddening beat-screeches". The single was credited with spearheading a wave of plugg music showcasing aggressive 808s, which Press-Reynolds labeled "extremo-plugg".
