Currently living in Madrid Spain, Yung Beef is without a doubt one of the hottest artists coming up from overseas right now. The young Spanish rapper has been creating a buzz in Spain for a while, and is now starting to catch looks over here in America. We recently premiered one of Beef’s hit singles, “CBR,” as he teamed up with powerhouse producer DP Beats. We we’re lucky enough to talk to the rising Spanish star and ask him a few question, see what he had to say below!
