New album. New tour. Same sharp pen - with sunny beats, vintage samba and a shot of melancholy.

Yello Staelens - aka Yong Yello - was once part of the legendary hip-hop collective Eigen Makelij, with Tourist LeMC, among others, and became the producer of Glints. Meanwhile, we know him as the new crown prince of the Antwerp sound.

His debut album “Marcel & Het Magnetisme Van De Goot” (2021) yielded instant hits like Circles, Luchtkasteel and Waanzin, and brought him to the biggest festival stages in the country: Pukkelpop, Rock Werchter, Lokerse Feesten... All impressed by his unique blend of poetry and punch.

'Ik moet dringend op vakantie' was recently followed by 'We geve ni', a collaboration with LOïS. Two catchy songs with catchy melodies, a summery beat and vintage samba - a promising foretaste of the new album, to be released on 12 September 2025.

For fans of Brihang, Glints, & 'T Hof Van Commerce

 

About Yong Yello

Yong Yello, alias of Yello Staelens, balances between vulnerability and strength like no other. As a rapper and producer, he wraps heavy themes in catchy melodies, with a style that hovers somewhere between cinescope hip-hop, vintage samba and Flemish melancholy.


After a period of silence, Yello is back with new music. The single 'Ik moet dringend op vakantie' sounds summery, but cuts deep. About stress, insomnia and the pace of a generation on the verge of burnout. With irony, introspection and Latin-inspired melancholy, he gives a first insight into his second album: “Bennie & The Banality Of Our Existence”, to be released in autumn 2025.
