Yung Mars
The Yung Mars Album
A freshman project, the Yung Mars album took almost a year to create. Produced by Yung Mars and
Mark Pistel (Head Engineer of Room 5 Studio who has recorded such artists as Michael Franti & Spearhead, Chuck Prophet, Meat Beat Manifesto, MC RAI)
This disk is an explosion of different styles and instruments. There are Latin rhythms and melodies, classic rock and funk guitar lines, both live & programmed drum tracks, three basses, two saxophones, one fender rhodes, a female vocalist, and a vibraphone. It has hints of dub reggae, is infused with world beats, and is marinated in Mars' unique melodic flows.
Featuring local heroes
Azeem and
DJ Teeko.
Mastered by
Ken Lee.
