Yung Zel Takes Listeners “Somewhere in N.O.L.A” with a Raw Reflection on His Roots

New Orleans native and Chattanooga-based artist Yung Zel delivers an authentic and heartfelt project with his latest album, Somewhere in N.O.L.A. After 10 years of dedication to his craft, Yung Zel uses this body of work to paint a vivid picture of his upbringing, the grind, and the perseverance it takes to rise above life’s obstacles. The album, which took nearly a year to complete, captures the essence of his journey — from the tough streets of New Orleans to his current life in Chattanooga — blending southern grit with personal storytelling that fans can feel in every verse.

Motivated by a desire to create a better life for himself and his loved ones, Yung Zel channels his experiences into an album that’s both deeply personal and universally relatable. Somewhere in N.O.L.A stands as a tribute to his city, his struggle, and his growth as an artist. Having already dropped two albums and built a loyal fan base, Yung Zel continues to climb "Straight to the Top," his current single and a declaration of purpose. This release isn’t just about music, it’s about survival, self-reflection, and staying true to the place that made him who he is.
