All-time best rap crew name? I’ll stop you right now. It’s the Sad Boys. The Swedish collective headed by Yung Lean have bested Dipset, Flipmode, and 1017 Brick Squad in having the greatest name for anything ever. In celebration of their achievement in moniker-choosing excellence, Yung Lean and his Sad Boys are coming our way for a North American tour in December. All I wanted for Christmas was sad boys anyway. Sad boys by the barrel. The tour will also find them joined by Gravity Boys, who are like sad boys if they were more focused on being pulled toward our Earth.
Yung Lean recently put out his full-length debut Unknown Memory. Watch the video for his single “Sandman” here, then think about how so many memories remain unknown. Does such a thought make you sad? Yeah? Good. You are now a sad boy. This was your initiation.
