Yungsta is the stage name of Yash Chandra, a New Delhi hip-hop artist whom Rolling Stone India identifies as a Full Power co-founder with Frappe Ash and as the rapper behind the 2021 mixtape Mehfil and the 2023 album MEEN. MEEN, released via The MVMNT and Mass Appeal India with producer Sez on the Beat, is the record Chandra has described as his debut studio album, distinct from earlier mixtapes because the songs were written to hang together as one story.

Rolling Stone India’s May 2023 album piece describes an 11-track set with peers including Ikka, Raga, Seedhe Maut’s Calm and Encore ABJ, Frappe Ash, Mumbai’s Yashraj, Dilliboy, Akanksha Neogi, and producer Eyepatch (Ainesh Dhawan). A March 2023 interview on lead single Ruhbaru quotes Chandra on writing since childhood, Delhi cyphers, a nod to Spit Dope Inc, a sample of his father’s encouragement, and a guitar solo by Aman Sagar. Apple Music’s own MEEN note, dated 11 May 2023, calls the album his most personal work and describes three acts for head, heart, and hand.

Those two proof titles — Mehfil and MEEN — are why Wave 3 locks Apple Music Hip-Hop artist id 289017644 and refuses thin or alternate Yungsta ids 1489187757 and 1554374133. Discography does not invent chart ranks, award tallies, or AggregateRating from playlist chatter. Enrich may attach titled rows such as Showtime, Mehfil, and MEEN when they belong to this id; human biography stays with the press record.

This page is a solo facet. Full Power is context for Chandra’s peer circle, not a reason to invent duo membership rows on yungsta. Editors credit this slug when Yungsta or Yash Chandra’s solo catalog is the subject. Multi-artist cypher or MEEN feature roundups that only mention him stay mention-only under single-select rules unless a story is retagged on purpose.

Wave 3 leaves hero covers empty until a licensed upload exists. Public pages may use an ink banner. Sources stay on the public Sources list; discography.in self-links are never sameAs. Later enrich jobs may prepend Apple collection titles and must not overwrite this intro.

Operationally, Discography treats Yungsta as a New Delhi Hindi hip-hop solo artist anchored to locked id 289017644. If enrich looks sparse or the name collides with another Yungsta, operators re-check the id in docs/discography-wave3-new-artists-apple-ids.md rather than merging a louder wrong catalog. Intro word count is what clears the artists.xml gate alongside enrich, not a fabricated discography.
