DJ Drama has connected with another Hip-Hop artist to present a Gangsta Grillz mixtape. For his latest full-length effort, Drama joined forces with Collective Music Group founder, Yo Gotti.
The forthcoming I Showed U So body of work from Yo Gotti and DJ Drama is expected to arrive on August 4. Yo Gotti released a Gangsta Grillz-branded tape titled I Told U So in 2006.
Gotti’s Gangsta Grillz sequel will be the Memphis rapper’s first solo music release since February 2022. That year’s CM10: Free Game studio LP peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 album chart.
Throughout his three-decade career, Yo Gotti scored five Top 10 projects. 2013’s I Am, 2016’s The Art of Hustle, 2017’s I Still Am and 2020’s Untrapped also reached the Top 10 region of the Billboard 200.
DJ Drama is coming off a highly successful partnership with Tyler, The Creator. The California native’s Drama-narrated CALL ME If YOU GET LOST debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and won a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album.
The Gangsta Grillz label has become a badge of honor for many rappers. In addition to Gotti, Generation Now head DJ Drama has worked with other stars such as Lil Wayne, T.I., Jeezy, Gucci Mane, Nipsey Hussle, Childish Gambino, Meek Mill, Chris Brown, Pharrell and more.
Yo Gotti’s I Showed U So will land on DSPs shortly after his meeting with First Lady Jill Biden in Washington, D.C. The D.C. United co-owner and the FLOTUS teamed up to host a Major League Soccer Youth Clinic at the White House.
