Recorded in Melbourne and finished in London\u2014where Teether now calls home\u2014the album channels hyper-local flavors into a distinctive global rap sound with echoes of the early internet era that shaped their musical journey. The project also features stellar guest appearances, including Nerdie from Sydney\u2019s rising K-Rap scene, Wergaia\/Wemba Wemba vocalist Alice Skye, and Naarm producer Stoneset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lead single <em>ZOO<\/em> sets the stage perfectly. With its paranoid trap instrumental and incisive lyrics, the track explores themes of alienation and the wild chaos of urban life. As the duo puts it, \u201c<em>Every day, in whatever city you\u2019re in, millions of people wake up and do what they think is most important. It\u2019s pure chaos\u2014we\u2019re like animals running wild, trying to make sense of it all. &#8216;ZOO&#8217; was born from that strange, untamed energy.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This new release marks their first full-length project since the 2023 mixtape \u2018STRESSOR,\u2019 which charted in the Australian Independent Top 10 and earned accolades across major platforms like Triple R, fbi.radio, RTR FM, and end-of-year best-of lists from Guardian Australia, Rolling Stone, and NME. Their journey from the breakout mixtape <em>GLYPH<\/em> in 2021 to \u2018STRESSOR\u2019 in 2023 has solidified their status as dynamic forces in the underground scene, with widespread support from global radio outlets and rave reviews from NME, Brooklyn Vegan, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond the studio, Teether &amp; Kuya Neil are renowned for their electric live performances. They\u2019ve rocked stages at Bigsound, Melbourne Music Week, RISING, Meadow, Vivid Sydney, NGV Melbourne, and Parramatta Lanes, sharing bills with international heavyweights like MC Yallah &amp; Debmaster, Shabazz Palaces, and Chicago Footwork pioneer RP Boo. Looking ahead, the duo is set to headline an exclusive sideshow at The Gasometer in Naarm \/ Melbourne on March 6 and will also light up the stage at Golden Plains Festival on March 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t miss your chance to experience <em>ZOO<\/em> now\u2014<a href=\"https:\/\/chaptermusic.lnk.to\/teetherkuyazoo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">stream or purchase<\/a> the track, and dive into the immersive music video that perfectly encapsulates the duo\u2019s fearless, boundary-pushing vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_3902.jpeg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_3902.jpeg?resize=900%2C900&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"YEARN IV cover artwork\" class=\"wp-image-41310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_3902.jpeg?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_3902.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_3902.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_3902.jpeg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Pre-save \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/prescriptionpr.createsend1.com\/t\/j-i-wlyhddl-l-h\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">YEARN IV<\/a>\u2019 and get ready for a new era from Teether &amp; Kuya Neil.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>London\/Melbourne rap duo Teether &amp; Kuya Neil are back and ready to shake the scene with their highly anticipated debut album, \u2018YEARN IV,\u2019 set for <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=41308\" title=\"Teether &amp; Kuya Neil announce \u2018YEARN IV\u2019 with new single \u2018ZOO\u2019\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":41309,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[4713,23,28,29],"tags":[12083,12082,12081,1354],"class_list":["post-41308","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hip-hop","category-indie","category-music","category-music-video","tag-kuya-neil","tag-teether","tag-yearn-iv","tag-zoo"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_3899.jpeg?fit=900%2C675&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2B2TV-aKg","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":42096,"url":"https:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=42096","url_meta":{"origin":41308,"position":0},"title":"Teether &amp; Kuya Neil embrace the unsettling with \u2018Dial Up\u2019 + \u2018Sea Legs\u2019","author":"cultureaddicts","date":"April 25, 2025","format":false,"excerpt":"Get ready to dive deep into the weird and wonderful world of Teether & Kuya Neil\u2014these two underground trailblazers are back, and they\u2019re taking things to the next level of creepily catchy rap.
