Moneybagg Yo Returns With ‘Speak Now’ Album Feat. Morgan Wallen, Chris Brown & Lil Durk: Stream It Now
It’s been over three years since Moneybagg Yo’s last album, A Gangsta’s Pain, arrived and the four-digit daily counter can finally be reset.
The Memphis native is back with a part one of an upcoming double-album titled Speak Now, which hit streaming services on Friday (June 14). The project boasts 17 tracks in total and features from Morgan Wallen, Lil Durk, Chris Brown, and more.
“I was really trying to deliver a body of work for my day one fan base who been rocking with me since Federal,” he tells Billboard. “That’s what I did and I mixed it with a sequel, which is called Forever Hold Your Peace.”
Bag continues of the sequel project coming later this year: “It’s gonna be the more melodic vibes on that. It’s dropping a couple months after the Speak Now situation.”
Speak Now includes previously released singles such as “Play Da Fool, “Tryna Make Sure” and the Rob49-assisted “Bussin.”
At this point in his career, the CMG rapper feels like he doesn’t have anything left to prove in the music game.
“Nah, I feel like right now it’s really just about enjoying what I’m doing and expanding at the same time,” he says. “I don’t feel like I got nothing else to prove. I got all these plaques, I got success. I’m just basically coming off a two-year break. Just letting them know I really do this.”
A Gangsta’s Pain arrived in April 2021 and debuted atop the Billboard 200 with 110,000 album-equivalent units sold in the first week. The platinum project featured Hot 100 hits like “Time Today” and “Wockesha.”
