There’s a weight to nostalgia that can only be captured when memory meets melody, and Bearded Kingface nails it on Lost Youth. The track feels like flipping through an old photo album: those candid shots of carefree days, mischievous laughter, and friendships that felt eternal. Anchored by vocals recorded at just 19, it brims with youthful energy while simultaneously viewing those moments through a wiser lens. Adding a rich layer, the track samples a Persian classic, blending cultural tradition with reflective hip-hop vibes that are chill, mellow, and deeply relatable.

Bearded Kingface’s artistry reflects a lifetime of contrasts. Hailing from Toronto with Persian roots, he brings together East and West, old and new. Influenced by icons like Nas, 2Pac, and Wu-Tang Clan, his music resonates with listeners who appreciate lyricism that tells a story and beats that pay homage to hip-hop’s golden era. It’s a style steeped in honesty, drawing on jazz, R&B, and classical music for depth. Fans of introspective hip-hop will find solace here: Lost Youth is a reminder of how far we’ve come and the pieces of the past we carry forward.
