Young Meepa released MXTPE #1: birth in late 2025 as a self-produced mixtape shaped by instability, movement, and lived experience. Written, produced, engineered, and performed entirely alone, the project functions as a record of a specific period of survival—one the artist already considers distant.

There is no fixed creative method behind the mixtape. Young Meepa describes his process as inconsistent by design, with tracks beginning in different ways depending on circumstance. Some songs form quickly: a beat, a burst of anger, a single freestyle recorded once and left intact. Others develop slowly, accumulating meaning over time. This lack of uniform structure becomes part of the project’s identity, reflecting a life shaped by uncertainty.

That contrast is most visible in “Lil blue bag$” (from his latest album MXTPE 2: misanthropy), a track that took shape over six or seven years. The song followed Young Meepa through multiple cities, periods of homelessness, and repeated data loss as laptops disappeared or failed. At one point, the track existed only as a single audio file, continuously overwritten to prevent it from being lost again.

Sound and texture play a central role across the music Young Meepa creates. Influenced by the heavy, spatial production associated with 808Melo and early Pop Smoke records, Meepa treats atmosphere as a primary narrative tool. Lyrics remain important, but mood often arrives first, with bass, distortion, and rhythmic pressure establishing emotional context before language enters. The approach results in music that communicates as much through sensation as through explicit meaning.

In his work, anger is a recurring presence. Young Meepa frames his frustration within a broader sense of empathy, shaped by firsthand exposure to poverty, addiction, and systemic exploitation. His anger is directed toward structures that profit from those conditions, while the music itself remains attentive to the people living within them.

Total independence grants Young Meepa full narrative control, protecting his work from external interpretation or distortion. That autonomy, however, comes with isolation and the absence of external accountability. Still, control remains central to his practice, shaped by past experiences of being misrepresented by others.

Young Meepa is getting ready to release MXTPE #3: dystopia, which he describes as a depiction of present conditions.
