LA-based, by way of Florida, rapper YUNGMORPHEUS announces his forthcoming new solo album. Picking up right where he left off with his prolific run of projects in 2022, his new album From Whence It Came was released April 2023 via Lex Records.

From Whence It Came builds on an already extensive catalog from MORPHEUS, whose conversational style slips between sardonic humor and intrepid observations in an instant. The new album provides a lush new patchwork of sounds for MORPHEUS to make his own, laying quintessentially smooth raps over a varied selection of West Coast G-funk, hurried drum n bass rhythms, and soul samples like the slow spin of a radio dial.

From Whence It Came features an array of guests including longtime collaborators and artists new to the fold including Fly Anakin, Jimetta Rose, MED and more.

Support comes from ACE V!S!ON.

ACE V!S!ON’s lyrical prowess and thundering yet enchanting delivery leave an imprint on listeners whether delivered through witty raps, poignant poetry or subtle vocal musings, refined through years of creating in the Glasgow scene. Their multidisciplinary approach to performance has seen them sell out Oran Mor as part of jazz collectives SUPERSONIC & GLITCH41, recently become a published playwright, share work at Edinburgh International Festival and Fringe, and they are currently a recipient of Counterflows Music Space bursaries 2023–24. ACE’s thoughtful mastery of words brings a considered voice to the canvas of life, literally painting pictures with a thousand words.

"YUNGMORPHEUS poeticizes a posh collage of figurative and literal food moments in a brooding tone that makes it clear From Whence It Came isn’t a cookbook or collection of recipes, but rather a radical personal policy partly fueled by what food can represent: real-life shit, good and bad, luxury and loss"Spin Mag
