Hello my luvs, y'all know my crush on Moneybagg Yo got me vibing to his music at first, but let me tell you, BAGG drops bangers left and right. When he hinted at Speak Now, I was hype for that Chris Brown feature. I mean, who wouldn't be? But hold my drink! When I got to track 15 and Morgan Wallen two-stepped in with Whiskey Whiskey, I was shooketh. So, let's dive into the magic of Moneybagg Yo and some of my fav tracks from his latest drop!

Multi-platinum rap king Moneybagg Yo just unleashed his much-awaited album, SPEAK NOW. This 17-track beast does not disappoint. As a matter of fact, don't miss the new music video for “TABOO MIAMI” – it’s a vibe! Directed by Frankie, it’s got all the flashy visuals and quick cuts of what we love to see i.e. Bagg living it up in Miami clubs.

While hyping up Speak Now on Instagram, Moneybagg Yo dropped some wisdom, saying, “To Every Action There’s A Reaction, Timing Is Everything And Information Is Power Im In Raw Form Aint No Cut On This Sh** This For My Day 1 Core Fan Base The Ones Who Was There Since The Beginning!!” With the album out, it's prime time to dive into the tracklist and give you a day 1 fan's opinion on Speak Now.

SPEAK NOW kicks off with “ALL YEAR,” setting the tone with high-energy beats and scorching bars. Other killer tracks include “GANGSTA RELATE” with Lil Durk, diving into the struggles that shaped Bagg, and “WHISKEY WHISKEY” with Morgan Wallen—a southern hip-hop/country mix about drowning your sorrows. The single “TRYNA MAKE SURE” stands tall, and the fresh “PLAY DA FOOL” is fire too. Check out the full tracklist for SPEAK NOW below.

In just a few years, Moneybagg Yo has become one of the most versatile voices in hip-hop—he's got the clubs and the streets on lock. Beyond his hometown love, critics and fellow rappers are rockin with him. With industry respect, love of the ladies, plus multiple Awards and nominations Bagg has transitioned into a rap titan at the top of his game. With Speak Now, he reintroduces himself with multi-genre anthems that are impossible to ignore. Bae's about to Speak Now, just listen!

Top Tracks from Moneybagg Yo's 'Speak Now':

This track kicks things off with a bang, serving up energetic beats and blazing verses that get you hyped.

Imagine hip-hop and country walking into a bar—this song is their love child, full of feels and heartache.

Crank up the bass and let those heavy notes and swelling chords hit you right in the feels.

A deep, introspective anthem that dives into life's ups and downs—cue the contemplative head-nod.

Moneybagg Yo goes solo here with autotuned vocals and some serious self-reflection vibes.

Picture pounding piano keys and earth-shaking 808s—this one's an anthem that's perfect for any hype playlist.

Flashy music video alert! This track captures the wild spirit of Miami’s nightlife, no sunscreen required.
