ABOUT MONEYBAGG YO:
In just a few years, Bagg has cemented himself as one of the most versatile voices in hip-hop — a rapper’s rapper with an ear to the club and the streets. Beyond the undying love he receives from his hometown, he’s been celebrated by critics and fellow rappers alike. He has been nominated for Billboard Music Awards and iHeartRadio Awards, received acclaim from publications like Pitchfork and the New York Times, seen his collaboration with Yo Gotti, Mozzy, and Lil Poppa, “Big League,” chosen as the official song of the 2022 NBA Finals, and collaborated with A-list stars including Future, Lil Durk, Polo G, GLoRilla and many more.
Much of Moneybagg Yo’s appeal is in the way he effortlessly blends street sensibilities with the glow up of a modern trap star. Since breaking through in 2016, he’s gone on to quickly become one of the most celebrated rappers in his generation and beyond. In 2021, the Memphis native hit a major career highlight securing his first No. 1 debut on the Billboard 200 chart with critically acclaimed project, A Gangsta’s Pain. The album, which moved over 110K units during its first week of release and earned the title of one of the biggest hip-hop debuts of the year, was also No. 1 on the Top R&B / Hip-Hop Albums chart and Top Rap Albums chart in the first week. This also marked Bagg’s eleventh time charting, and specifically his fifth release to peak within the Top 10. Now, he is RIAA certified 3X platinum for both “Wockesha” and “Time Today”, and certified platinum for “Go” (with Big30) A Gangsta’s Pain and Time Served. All these accolades and more prove that Moneybagg Yo has earned his spot as a respected rap titan at the peak of his powers.
