New York City artist YaT0, the alias of Yassine Touzani, is gearing up to release his debut full-length album ALTER-EGO, following three standout singles that have already set him apart for their precision, grit, and sharp lyricism. Originally planned for release in 2024, the album’s rollout was delayed after YaT0 survived a stabbing attack in Amsterdam — a life-altering experience that ultimately fueled the project rather than derailing it.
Instead of tragedy, YaT0 channels survival into energy, perspective, and force, bringing a sharper edge to both his music and visuals. Written and shaped across New York, Europe, and Morocco, ALTER-EGO explores powerful contrasts: instinct versus control, rage versus elegance, street versus refinement. The result is a deeply layered project that captures the complexity of his journey as an artist and individual.
“ALTER-EGO isn’t just an album,” YaT0 says. “It’s a confrontation — with the industry, with expectations, and with myself. I’m not interested in doing things fast; I want this work to be uncompromisingly great. Every note, every image, every detail matters.”
Known for his striking visuals and relentless focus on quality, YaT0 has built a reputation for carefully curated releases that demand to be experienced rather than consumed casually. ALTER-EGO is no exception — it’s designed to immerse listeners in a complete world, balancing immediacy with reflection and raw instinct with deliberate control.
The album is now in its final stages of production, with visuals and fragments set to drop in the coming months. Fans can expect a bold, cohesive body of work that solidifies YaT0’s place as a rising force in the international music scene.
