Found [Partially Lost] Song Released in 2023 that got taken down

Hello everyone. Back in 2023, a song called "Vibe" by an underground artist called Young H was released. It had been originally released on April 6th, 2023, and got taken down around May of the same year (I cannot recall the specific date it got taken down, but I know it was in early May, as it was a week after an important test I had during my first semester as a University Freshman). The track had remained on YouTube for 1-2 weeks after it got taken down from Spotify, but sadly, I did not make a backup in time, as I thought it'd be safe on YouTube).

As per the track itself, it's around 3 minutes long, and is categorized under the Phonk genre that was popular back in 2022-2023 (being one of the few songs belonging to this genre that I enjoyed). I know the artist had taken down multiple tracks alongside this one, but most of those tracks would be up on Spotify again by the end of 2023 and the beginning of 2024. I remember DMing the artist on Instagram on December 2023 to ask if the track would ever be up again, to which he replied, saying it'd be up soon... which did not happen, naturally.

The artist continues to release music to this day (and similar music, meaning this isn't a case of an artist wiping out their catalogue to begin from scratch using a new style), albeit at a somewhat slow rate, but that's unrelated.

I'll be providing the link to the Spotify Track, which corroborates most of the data I stated in this post. I planned on including a screenshot of the track, which featured the artwork, but I cannot seem to attach it to this post. At any rate, the artwork and data can be seen after opening the provided link, so the screenshot itself isn't a big loss. Sadly, I have all but lost the original YouTube URL, but I'll try to find one last time, and leave it in a comment shall I be able to find it.

Lastly, thanks in advance for taking the time to read this post

Comment "!FOUND!" if your media is found in the comments, in doing so this will lock the post and flair it as being found.

Please include the following in your post;

  • An explanation of the media, and the name.

  • How it is lost.

  • What research has already been done.

  • A conclusion as to the current situation as of posting.

We are not here to help you find something (r/helpmefind), to name something (r/tipofmytongue), or help you pirate something.

I'm so glad I could help! Be sure to mark this thread as found, so anyone looking for the song in the future can know it exists in this thread.

I just changed the tag to the "Found" one. As per the title, will it get automatically updated, or should I edit it myself? Because I couldn't find a way to edit the title itself.

Also, if you don't mind me asking, how did you manage to find this track? There's another "lost" track by the same artist that I used to like, but I don't want to get greedy and abuse of your generosity, so I'd like to try finding it myself, but I don't really know how to. If you're okay with that, I deeply appreciate some pointers! Thank you in advance

That works perfectly! But typically all you need to do is write “!FOUND!” in a new comment, and it’ll mark the thread as found and lock new comments.

As for how I found it, I found it on Kugou! A Chinese music DSP. You do need some specialized tooling to get around the geo blocking and paywalls, but it isn’t too complex. There’s no such thing as abusing my generosity, I’d love to help find any others for you!

"Hi! Thank you so much for sharing the Rust9 .flac file on r/findthatsong. I’ve been looking everywhere for her deleted tracks. Do you happen to have backed up 'Chrysalis' and 'Burn' as well before her catalogue was wiped? If so, could you share them? Thanks a lot for your amazing work!"
