Yung Pinch

Yung Pinch, born Blake Chandler Sandoval on April 5, 1997, is an American rapper and singer from Huntington Beach, California. He rose to prominence on SoundCloud in the mid-2010s, building a devoted following with laid-back, melodic tracks steeped in the imagery of Southern California surf-and-skate culture — sunshine, beaches and easy living set against hip-hop and pop-leaning production.

His 2016 mixtape 714EVER, led by the single «Rock With Us», established him as one of the breakout voices of the new-generation SoundCloud rap scene, distinguishing him from more aggressive peers through his sunny, feel-good tone. Songs like «When I Was Yung», «Look Like» and «Beach Ballin'» further cemented his beach-rap identity, blending West Coast rap cadences with pop hooks and R&B-tinged melodies.

Over his career Yung Pinch has collaborated with a range of established names including Wiz Khalifa, Lil Skies, Dillon Francis, Carnage and YG, helping broaden his audience beyond the SoundCloud community into wider hip-hop and dance-crossover circles. His catalogue, including tracks such as «Nightmares», «Smoke & Drive», «20 Years Later» and «Perfect», continues to reflect the same easygoing, sun-drenched Southern California sound that first defined him.
