In 2021, Moneybagg Yo's hit song 'Wokesha' dominated the airwaves, propelling him to the top of the music charts and solidifying his status as a leading figure in the trap music genre. His album 'A Gangsta's Pain' claimed the number one spot on the Billboard 200, marking a significant milestone in his career. Now, after a brief hiatus, the Memphis rapper is back with his highly anticipated fifth studio album, 'Speak Now'.
Moneybagg Yo attributes the delay between albums to personal reasons, stating that he needed time to reflect, recharge, and come back stronger with fresh material. He emphasizes the importance of offering something new and exciting to his audience with each release, likening it to presenting a new movie experience every time.
'Speak Now' stays true to Moneybagg Yo's signature style, blending trap and drill elements with his distinctive Memphis sound. The album is described as a collection of energetic, club-ready tracks that capture the essence of summertime vibes.
The album features collaborations with a diverse range of artists, including Lil Durk, Kevo Muney, and an unexpected appearance by country musician Morgan Wallen. Despite Wallen's controversial past, Moneybagg Yo expresses admiration for the artist and highlights their creative chemistry, which led to their collaboration on a track.
Looking ahead, Moneybagg Yo reveals plans to release another album later in the year, focusing on 'melodic vibes' that cater to a female audience. Despite the break between albums, the rapper reassures fans that he is still dedicated to his craft and committed to delivering quality music.
With 'Speak Now' serving as a testament to his resilience and creativity, Moneybagg Yo continues to make his mark on the music industry, showcasing his versatility and unwavering passion for his art.
