For the debut album Avain, symbolizing the key to the Finnish rapper Lil Yayo’s musical universe, we delved into the captivating realm of Kamui Oscuro’s art. This album unfolds as a transcendental journey through an ethereal and dreamlike soundscape, weaving together profound lyrics and hypnotic melodies that enchant the listener.

Drawing inspiration from his previous collaboration with Julian Grönberg on the single “Ei Voi Unohtaa,” the album’s design maintains a thematic connection. However, this time, the title, tracklist, and information banners are meticulously crafted in a sharp and eerie font named Sinistre, designed by French artist Lazy Dog, also known as Jules Durand.

Lil Yayo first garnered attention on SoundCloud in 2017, swiftly ascending to cult status within the underground music scene. His national recognition by Universal Music came through his recording of Tinze’s song “BaeBae,” featuring Jannika B., solidifying his impact and influence in the music industry.
