Moneybagg Yo

Although ten years in the rap game is nothing to scoff at, Moneybagg Yo’s extensive catalog of gritty street tales would seemingly point to an artist many years his senior. Born Demario White, Moneybagg Yo first caught listeners’ attention with a string of critically acclaimed mixtapes, many of which unexpectedly reached the Billboard charts. Today, Moneybagg Yo is one of hip-hop’s hottest young stars and a critical reason why Memphis once again finds itself at the center of the rap universe. While his sound remains deeply steeped in the underground, Moneybagg Yo’s latest release A Gangsta’s Pain debuted at number one of the charts in the spring of 2020, marking his arrival as a legitimate rap star.
