Sydney/Eora-based Young Franco and US-based rapper Pell are becoming an international duo that perfectly tap into and reflect the power of collaboration, now releasing their 4th collaborative effort “Like That” alongside fellow Perth-raised, Berlin producer Jafunk.
Sonically, Young Franco and Jafunk combine to create a track that reflects the golden era of club-driven rap music, pioneered in Virginia by production greats including Pharrell, The Neptunes, and Timbaland. Its bounce-ready percussion runs perfectly with quickly strummed guitars and a slapping bass line. On the top line front, Pell is in no rush to get his slick bars off, gliding over the beat with elegance and class before riding it out with an infectious hook in its final third.
Young Franco’s past two years have been his biggest yet. He’s currently sitting on over 135 million streams across all singles to date, with over 1 million monthly listeners on Spotify. In that period of time he soundtracked the new-look Australian Football League, and has received global sync’s for brands including Apple, Starbucks, Topshop, and Kia. Currently, he’s touring the United States and has locked in massive festival slots at Lollapalooza, Falls Festival, Spilt Milk & Lost Paradise.
