Some of Moneybagg's own social media posts suggest "See Wat I'm Sayin" may herald the release of a new album in 2022, in order to carry over the momentum from his star-making 2021.
Moneybagg ascended to the ranks of rap superstardom last year with the release of "A Gangsta's Pain," which topped the Billboard charts on two separate occasions and went on to become fourth highest-selling rap album of the year.
Performances on late night shows "Jimmy Kimmel Live" and "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" would follow, as well as nominations and appearances on various awards shows including at the BET Hip Hop Awards, MTV VMAs, and iHeartRadio Awards.
In addition to headlining the Beale Street Music Festival in May, Moneybagg was also featured on the cover of Billboard magazine, along with CMG records head Yo Gotti and CMG labelmates EST Gee, Mozzy, Blac Youngsta and Lehla Samia, with the music industry bible crowning the Memphis company as “The Hardest-Working Label in Hip-Hop.”
Beyond his musical pursuits, Moneybagg has expanded his personal and business profile appearing alongside Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant in a Nike ad campaign and becoming an investor in the local bottled water company, Vior Water.
Moneybagg Yo’s "See Wat I'm Sayin" is available on digital platforms now.
