“Graveyard Echoes” – A Dark, Hypnotic Journey into the Underground from YT & Epidemic Beats Releasing 05/09/2025

Rising from the depths of the underground rap scene, *Graveyard Echoes* is set to shake the foundation of the hip-hop world. This upcoming EP, a collaboration between the unstoppable rapper “YT” and the hauntingly powerful producer “Epidemic Beats”, is primed to deliver an experience that blends raw lyricism with cinematic production. 

“Graveyard Echoes” is more than just an EP—it’s an immersive exploration into the darkness of life, death, and survival, captured through gripping storytelling and a bold, distinct sound. The album brings together the gritty edge of “YT’s” razor-sharp delivery and the chilling atmospheres crafted by “Epidemic Beats”, who expertly fuses elements of eerie, spine-tingling beats with traditional hip hop foundations.

But the power of this project doesn’t stop at YT and Epidemic Beats. The EP features explosive guest appearances from some of the most respected voices in the game. “James Gregg”, known for his versatile flow and cutting-edge style, adds his unique touch to the tracklist. “Liquid Assassin”, a lyrical beast, brings his signature dark edge to the table, while the soulful yet forceful “Shauna Knapp” takes the energy to another level with her unforgettable vocals and presence.

Fans can expect an eclectic mix of hard-hitting beats, introspective verses, and unforgettable features that push the boundaries of what rap can be. With tracks that make you feel the weight of every word, *Graveyard Echoes* is not just an EP; it’s a mood, a statement, and a vision realized.

Tracklist highlights include: 

“Rise Up”: A dark, reflective track that dives deep into themes of mortality and the struggle for immortality in the rap game.

“No Stowaways” (ft. James Gregg): A banger that brings forth an unrelenting energy, featuring fiery verses and an infectious hook. 

“Specta Collecta” is a chilling, high-energy anthem that pulls you into a world of darkness and mystery. YT’s haunting lyrics, paired with Epidemic Beats’ eerie, atmospheric production, create a sinister vibe as they explore the collection of spirits and shadows. With a relentless flow and bone-rattling beats, this track takes you on a spine-tingling journey through the macabre, where every moment brings you closer to the edge of the unknown.

“Weird Science” fuses YT’s experimental flow with Epidemic Beats’ glitchy, futuristic production. This track dives into a world of innovation and chaos, where unconventional experiments push the limits of creativity. With an eerie beat and complex verses, it’s a sonic journey that blends science and street knowledge. 

“Gangsta Life” (ft. Liquid Assassin & Shauna Knapp): A spine chilling collaboration that will leave fans in awe of Liquid Assassin’s complex delivery over Epidemic Beats’ eerie production and Shauna Knapp, whose calling voice echoes long after the track ends, leaving listeners with a feeling of profound introspection.

YT & Epidemic Beats promise this EP will redefine the darker side of hip-hop, combining elements of horrorcore, boom bap, and atmospheric beats into something truly new. *Graveyard Echoes* will be available on all major streaming platforms on [5/9/2025]. 

Get ready to enter the darkness—where the beats are heavy, the lyrics are sharp, and the echoes never fade.
