Moneybagg Yo

Moneybagg Yo's music is a bridge between worlds. Since he broke through in 2016 with the Yo Gotti collaborative tape, 2 federal, he's made music suited to both the corner and the club. He's become one of the most respected and celebrated rappers working by exploring these in-between spaces. Both relatable and aspirational, his unique perspective has quickly turned into real success.

Part of Moneybagg Yo's appeal is in the way he effortlessly blends street sensibilities with the glow-up of a modern trap star. On the certified platinum “u played,” the first song from 2020's certified platinum ‘time served', he teamed with lil baby to create one of the hardest cuts of the year, eventually reaching #53 on the billboard hot 100. With ‘a gangsta's pain', though, the bluff city boss becomes an odds-on favorite to dominate the rap landscape in 2021 and on. There's something in the air surrounding Moneybagg Yo, and his songs seem due to level up once again due to his new pop ambitions. You can hear him swinging for the fences on songs like certified 4x platinum “time today,” which reached the no. 1 spot on urban radio, showcases that effortless rhyme scheme and swaggering force, or the certified 4x platinum “Wockesha” that presents Bagg's talent to turn a hit, with it hitting #1 at urban radio (twice!), making Moneybagg yo the only artist with 2 top 5 hits at urban radio at the moment of its ranking (“Wockesha” and “Time Today”).
