DEBRIEFING, Ya Minko's first full album, takes listeners on a decade-long, multi-continent journey of discovery, self-actualization, and perseverance. 

Reflective of Ya Minko's roots in the former French colony of Gabon, DEBRIEFING--a collaboration built exclusively with artists from the African continent and diaspora--combines French and English to create a bilingual, genre-bending project. Using what the artist has coined as an "Afro-modern" sound, DEBRIEFING tells stories of love and lust, loyalty, exhaustion, contemplation, and hope through the eyes of someone striving for a goal while developing into themself. Many moments of DEBRIEFING also highlight the story of leaving one home behind to chase dreams in another, knowing that you can not afford to lose.

Xanadu

Skedaddle is a song about escaping reality through interpersonal bonds.

"Do you want to get out of here?" references both physical spaces that feel constraining, & the overwhelm that comes from dealing with societal realities.

By getting lost into each other's adventure(s), we survive both this world, and our individual realities. It's also the expression of gratitude for the existence of someone who makes this world feel bearable.

Minko invites the listener to escape reality for a bit, acknowledging its harsh edges.

The song is a mix of hip-hop, pop, and house reminiscent of Kaytranada's sound.

Lyrics:
[Intro - Ya Minko]
On everything imma figure this shit out!
I don't know how...
But God loves me and the Universe got my back always for a bunch of Holy reasons
So I... Guess there's always been that

[Bridge - Ya Minko]
Don't wanna be broke anymore man
Gotta figure how to make this money by my lonely
Every time they hit me they want money back, or something
Every time they hit me they want money back, or something

[Hook - Ya Minko]
Wow...
Nah, I can't be broke anymore man
Gotta figure how to make this money by my lonely
Every time they hit me it's like "When you pay me back bro"
Every time they hit me it's like "When you pay me back bro"

(Wow!)
I don't wanna be an asshole!
(Wow!)
I don't wanna be an asshole!
(Wow!)
But I need to be an assohole!
(Wow!)
So watch me turn into an asshole

[Verse 1 - Ya Minko]
Y'all gon have to pay for the feature. Ya'll gon have to pay for the music
Ain't gon be no freebies. Ain't gon be no friendlies
Ain't gon be no fair shit
Fuck outta my face, I need money by the milli!

Man, I done risked my life for this shit
Now it's time to pay the bills for this shit
Drive a Bentley down the street and get some head with this shit
When I get it I'll share it. 'Till then it's fuck sympathy
Yeah

[Hook - Ya Minko]
Wow...
Nah, I can't be broke anymore man
Gotta figure how to make this money by my lonely
Every time they hit me it's like "When you pay me back bro"
Every time they hit me it's like "When you pay me back bro"

(Wow!)
I don't wanna be an asshole!
(Wow!)
I don't wanna be an asshole!
(Wow!)
But I need to be an asshole!
(Wow!)
So watch me turn into an asshole

[Verse 2 - Ya Minko]
Aye I did this shit with no money for the longest
I was thinking of my brothers, thinking "we gon grow together"
"Forget the guapo, let's make records."
Now you got records, I got zero
My dumbass was such a dummy. Thought it wasn't about the money

But Thugga Thugga been said it, just like Wu-Tang 'fore him said it!
Cash rules everything aroud here, that goes for your inner circle
Get that money, get that cash. Buy yourself a Cadillac!
Get yourself a new life. Buy yourself a new wife!

You got issues if you think you saw the best of me already!
Imma show those fucking niggas, we was never in the same league
I was playing mid-field, that was outta love!
Now it's gon be bout the dollars, and the records, and who got me

Race you to the top Bugatti. You got Camry don't you touch me!
I get fake love when I'm broke. I might as well be rich and hated
Fuck being appreciated. Now it's time to get paid
See y'all in a couple months, I'll tell you what God said

[Bridge - Ya Minko]
Don't wanna be broke anymore yeah
Gotta figure how to make this money by my lonely
Every time they hit me they want money back, or something
Every time they hit me they want money back, or something

[Hook - Ya Minko]
Wow...
Nah,I can't be broke anymore man
Gotta figure how to make this money by my lonely
Every time they hit me it's like "When you pay me back bro"
Every time they hit me it's like "When you pay me back bro"

(Wow!)
I don't wanna be an asshole!
(Wow!)
I don't wanna be an asshole!
(Wow!)
But I need to be an assohole!
(Wow!)
So watch me turn into an asshole

[Outro - Ya Minko]
I don't know...
I don't got money, and I don't got nobody spending money on our records or our dreams so...
Let's get it!
Everybody gon get paid back though. That's my word
We gon reset those counters... Beyond!

Lyrics:
[Verse 1 - Fils]
J'avais le coeur sur la main mais l'estomac dans les talons 
J'aimerais acquérir la sagesse et la foi de mon daron
On finis par détester ceux qu'on a beaucoup aimé
Ecrire des phases et des punchlines pour faire un beau couplet mec

Des fois je me parle a moi meme, pour être sur que quelqu'un m'écoute 
Si je vous gêne c'est la même, je vous prie d'aller vous faire foutre 
Ne pas vivre dans le doute, c'est ce que je me répétais 
A l'époque où j'avais pas de sous, maintenant je suis à l'aise 

On a pas la même vie, on pas la même mort
Difficile faire de la trap, sur cette instru hardcore
J't'ai niqué 5 fois, mais t'en veux encore
J'ai besoin d'haineux comment faire quand t'as pas de renforts ?

C'est ma première sur le beat, donc negro je vais doucement 
Je viens de prendre 15 piges, mais t'inquiète j'ai du talent 
Vu qu'j'suis le frère de HMF, tu voulais que je te fasse danser
Mais moi je suis pas la pour vous ambiancer

[Hook - Lil Yann]
J’voulais juste faire un peu de bon son
J’voulais ressembler à mon daron
Mais les préjugés m’ont buté ( x2 )

Homie j’suis dans la ville
J’écris un couplet 
Je raconte un peu tout ce que j’ai vécu 
On rigole en temps de paix
Ma vie serait meilleur si j’l’avais bien conçu 

Je veux m’évader (x6)

[Verse 2 - Ya Minko]
I learned one thing, then I learned two things
And somehow I felt like I knew something
So I went running, then ran out of options
& then out of options, I learned how to keep going 

Survival of the fittest means your skills gon keep you alive
Barely made money, good people sheltered me at night 
Power to the people, watch the tide change as we rise 
Love you from the bottom of my heart, that's the hardest type 

Hit rock bottom, then I started wearing denim
& the same jeans I got here with, the ones I'm rocking
Remember my dear mother got'em at the flea market
She said keep my words with you, I still got'em the pocket 

it's tears in my eye socket when I think of time wasted
Wasted, cooling with junkies with low wisdom
They started losing they teeth, & I started losing patience
This ain't how I wanna live, this cannot be how you do this 

Gotta do this like I know it's better ways, I was clueless 
Ignorance is not victimless crime, I'm here to prove it 
You cannot win if you're weak in the mind, I'm meditating 
Know when I finally end up doing what I said, that's how I did it

Tell my brother do not live as I did
That shit could kill you...

[Hook - Lil Yann]
J’voulais juste faire un peu de bon son
J’voulais ressembler à mon daron
Mais les préjugés m’ont buté ( x2 )

Homie j’suis dans la ville
J’écris un couplet 
Je raconte un peu tout ce que j’ai vécu 
On rigole en temps de paix
Ma vie serait meilleur si j’l’avais bien conçu 

Je veux m’évader (x6)


[Outro - Collin PRay]
See how we raise?
That's the way we was brought up.
It ain't nothing changed...
Our lives just done caught up
(x4)

M'Evader (Remix) f/ FILS., Lil Yann & Collin PRay

Lyrics :
They want money, they want...
Let them have the money, the bitches, the... Strippers!

[Hook - Ya Minko]
I have options, way too many, make the envy of so many
They want money, they want riches,
But all I want is you (you...)
I've been praying, for some better days to come, and I feel cheated
In my hardships, and my folly,
All I want is you (you...)

[Bridge 1 - Ya Minko]
And momma always told me I should watch it,
Momma always told me I should watch it with these women, with these...
Momma always told me I should watch it...
But all I want is you (you...)
Said momma always told me I should watch it,
Momma always told me I should watch it with these women, with these...
Momma always told me I should watch it...
But all I want is you, 
I'm such a fool!

[Bridge 2 - Ya Minko]
He will never listen, if man is in love he will never listen,
No, no, no, no!
He will never leave her, if man is in love he we will never leave her,
No, no, no, no!
You cannot seperate'am, if man is in love you can't separate'am,
No, no, no, no
He will not ever leave her! 
If man is in love he will never leave her
No, no, no, no!

No, no, no, no...
No, no, no, no...

[Verse 1 - Erwin Dollar]
Every time you feeling so lonely,
Baby girl you can call on me...
And every time you need that good loving,
Baby girl you can count me...
You got the keys to my heart babe,
Tell me what you want, I go do babe
Only you that I want babe,
So come and take a ride with me babe

Girl I don't mind to lie for you!
See I don't mind to die for you!
Girl I don't mind to spend the rest of my life, just to prove my love for you!

[Hook - Ya Minko]
I have options, way too many, make the envy of so many
They want money, they want riches,
But all I want is you (you...)
I've been praying, for some better days to come, and I feel cheated
In my hardships, and my folly,
All I want is you (you...)

[Bridge 1 - Ya Minko]
And momma always told me I should watch it,
Momma always told me I should watch it with these women, with these...
Momma always told me I should watch it...
But all I want is you (you...)
Said momma always told me I should watch it,
Momma always told me I should watch it with these women, with these...
Momma always told me I should watch it...
But all I want is you, 
I'm such a fool!

[Verse 2 - Ya Minko]
See,
See it feels like my whole world is coming to an end,
Every time I think of losing you...
And they begging me daily to leave you behind, 
They don't know you like I do...

You...
Pure and beautiful, even when you're purely evil.
You...
Take all my dreams, and my mind to a different level.

So I don't wanna listen to my friends,
And I don't wanna listen to my brain,
And I don't wanna make no sense!
I wanna take a chance and let God decide... 

I don't wanna listen to my friends,
I don't wanna listen to my brain...
I wanna take a chance and let God decide.
God decide...

[Hook - Ya Minko]
I have options, way too many, make the envy of so many
They want money, they want riches
But all I want is you (you...)
I've been praying, for some better days to come, and I feel cheated
In my hardships, and my folly,
All I want is you (you...)

[Bridge 1 - Ya Minko]
And momma always told me I should watch it,
Momma always told me I should watch it with these women, with these...
Momma always told me I should watch it...
But all I want is you (you...)
Said momma always told me I should watch it,
Momma always told me I should watch it with these women, with these...
Momma always told me I should watch it...
But all I want is you, 
I'm such a fool!
