1:34:50Now PlayingThe Swedish rapper Yung Lean emerged more than a decade ago as a teenage internet sensation who found viral — and then — global fame. After struggling with mental illness, drugs, alcohol and tragedy, he’s back now and bigger than ever, with new music, a new film and plenty of clarity.
Lean recently sat down with Popcast for his most in-depth interview in nearly a decade. He told the hosts Jon Caramanica and Joe Coscarelli about his early days as a teenage rapper in Sweden, buildin up D.I.Y. collectives with his friends; how he pulled himself back up from rock bottom; and his new phase as a well-adjusted multi-hyphenate.
