Multi-talented rapper and Umeda Cypher member YugaSoda has released his latest EP, Snaps.
Featuring the April 2026 single "I KI O I," this 5-track project captures raw, everyday moments "snapped" directly from his reality condensing his musical "here and now" into one record. Snaps marks a major milestone for YugaSoda, accelerating his momentum as he gears up for his first-ever solo headline show in October 2026.
