“8”; the debut EP from Yuneer Gainz is a “Hi” in the form of story telling, honesty, and melody; all from the front seat of his car.
What is “8”?
8 is the first offering from independent artist Yuneer Gainz. This is a time capsule of reflection, fears, courage, pursuits, and wishes from the front seat of his car. This project was created while Yuneer was not only interning at a studio in New York City for 6 days a week, but also living out of his SUV.
