“Everywhere, But Always (Deluxe)” Finds Yonny Between Groove, Intimacy, and Reflection

Seattle rapper Yonny is back with “Everywhere, But Always (Deluxe),” an expanded collection that brings unbound energy to his already impressive catalog. Building on the momentum of his previous EP, Yonny delivers twelve tracks that highlight not only his lyrical sharpness but also his ability to shift moods with ease. This project is less about proving something and more about showing what he does best: crafting music that’s intimate, personal, and undeniably engaging.

The opening track, “Everywhere, But Always,” wastes no time setting the tone. Yonny comes in direct and confident, letting his voice carry both urgency and control. It feels like a statement of intent, and by the time the beat fades, you already know the ride is going to be worth it. That energy flows into “Bad Credit,” where he lightens the mood with R&B flavors and a hook that lingers long after the song ends. Then there’s “Peace & Quiet,” a gentler cut that trades intensity for comfort, offering listeners a breather without losing its depth.

“Blue Door” might start slow, but don’t be fooled; it quickly shifts gears, giving Yonny room to show off why his flow is earning attention well beyond Seattle. His delivery feels effortless yet razor-sharp, a combination that makes the track one of the standouts. “Hood Spirituals” takes a more playful approach, leaning into groove and bounce, while still keeping the lyrical content clever and relatable. Both tracks underline Yonny’s ability to balance technical skill with genuine personality.

The middle of the album expands Yonny’s range even further. “Sumertime Maddness” takes its time, offering a more intimate vibe, while “City in Motion” does the exact opposite, pulling you onto the dancefloor with undeniable rhythm. The jazzy sax layered into “Rich in Melanin” gives the album a unique edge, bridging his wordplay with instrumentation that feels both classic and fresh. And then there’s “Women n’ Weed,” lighthearted and atmospheric, almost like slipping into a dream state.

Closing the record, “I Am” and “Jumbo Jet” provide two very different sides of Yonny. The former is straight, hard-hitting rap, packed with lyricism that proves he’s not slowing down anytime soon. The latter drifts into nostalgia, pulling from 90s hip-hop textures and giving listeners one last reflective moment before handing things over to the bonus remix. Ambré’s reimagining of “Blue Door” closes the deluxe set on a high note, offering a new lens on one of the album’s most memorable tracks.

With "Everywhere, But Always (Deluxe)," Yonny is proving that his vision for Seattle rap is as ambitious as it is personal.
