Young Posse has recently announced a return, scheduled for March 2, with the special album Cold. From the initial announcement and the Scheduler, it was obvious that the group was visually assuming a different concept.
On February 20, Young Posse published the mood film for the release, giving a better look at the images of their concept. The group is in a somewhat disturbing school environment, hinting at their next versions that deal with topics such as bullying and abandonment.

It is quite interesting that a reason why this change has never been mentioned, yet many of you seem to be able to identify exactly what this problem is so that you can defend it https://t.co/auxfspsl50 pic.twitter.com/d55hafqcft
