(MRNK) Not every lyricist finds the right producer, and not every producer finds the right voice. Young Chris and MadeinTYO found each other, and the result is Made In Philly.
The project is out now via MNRK Music Group, alongside the video for "Cuban Cigars," the album's closing track and one of its most raw and personal statements. Coming off a steady run of singles that kept the anticipation building, the two now deliver the full picture: nine tracks, all Philly, nothing held back.
"Fine Wine & Steak" and "Let Me Cook" set the tone early, establishing the chemistry and confidence at the center of the project. "Ready for the Summer" and "Alexis Skyy" keep the momentum going, two records that capture a man who has been at this for years and shows no signs of slowing down. "Worldwide Hustlas" pulls the lens back even wider, a reminder that this story goes far beyond one city. "The Source," featuring Ransom, and "From Nothing," featuring Lloyd Banks, are tracks where Young Chris trades bars with lyricists who understand exactly what is on the line. "Too Strong," featuring Freeway, is a reunion of Philadelphia's finest, a record that makes clear why these names still matter. The album closes on "Cuban Cigars," a dedication to his grandmother that moves through street realities, loyalty, and survival with the kind of honesty that only comes from living it.
Directed by DevKameraJawn, the official video for "Cuban Cigars" opens on a lit cigar and moves through everything attached to it. Shot between the cold streets of Philadelphia, his grandmother's home, and the cemetery where she rests, the visual is a quiet tribute built around the woman the record opens by naming. He lights it, walks the block, and lets the song speak. Standing firm in everything he has built and everyone he has lost.
"Me and TYO made something that could only come from where I'm from. Everything I've been through, everything I survived, that's what 'Made In Philly' means." - Young Chris
