Just as well as that same hustle moved my mama out the hood or helped me pay for my sister to get through school, it put my homeboys in prison for a very long time. It’s almost like you can’t even replace it. Not that it was fun, but it was your life. You get out and then you realize how intense the sh-t really was. It’s like when you’re in that culture and you’re living that life, there’s always obstacles when trying to get out. That’s what these streets give you. “Letter to the Trap” is a real approach on how I really feel. How have you managed to stay appreciative of the trap knowing the toll it took on you emotionally? You recently released a song titled “Letter to the Trap” where you spoke on how grateful you were for the trap, despite losing your homies in the process. Let’s go in and do a whole project where we both put our creativity together and go make something special. It had to be bigger than one song or two songs on an album. We decided that we needed to do something together like it had to be bigger than a record. Me and Mike Will knew each other a long, long time ago and we haven’t done a lot of work since he blew up and did his thang and I did my thang. I think that was unique because I normally work with different producers throughout my albums or ‘tapes that I put out.

I’ve worked with a lot of producers before I’ve never worked on an isolated project with one producer. What makes the chemistry between you and Mike Will different from any other producer that you’ve worked with in the past? You just released your collaborative EP Gotti Made-It with Mike Will Made-It. 27 that he would be joining billionaires Jason Levien and Steve Kaplan as co-owners one of the most prestigious franchises in the Major League Soccer’s history.Įarlier this year, Gotti also announced a partnership with his CMG record label and Interscope Geffen A&M, where both organizations would collaborate to continue developing the careers of CMG’s successful roster of artists including Moneybagg Yo, 42 Dugg, EST Gee and more. The partnership has already proven to be a fruitful one, with Moneybagg Yo, 42 Dugg and EST Gee reaching the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 chart for their respective projects.Billboard recently spoke to Yo Gotti about his new project with Mill Will, why he loves working with Nicki Minaj, advice he has received from Jay Z and Diddy, and if T.I.

The song touches on his entrepreneurial ambitions, growth as a businessman and desire to set an example for his CMG cohorts. The new song is timely, considering that Gotti announced on Sept. Gotti recently released the new single to celebrate the expansion of his entrepreneurial empire as the newest co-owner of Major League Soccer team, D.C. The “For The Record” visual also shows how Gotti strikes the balance between hip-hop artist and businessman as the CMG CEO also flexes at the top of a helipad in business attire. The visual – which was directed by Ben Marc – finds Gotti delivering entrepreneurial gems while posted up in a barren desert surrounded by his collection of black Rolls-Royce Cullinan SUVs. Multiplatinum musician and entrepreneur Yo Gotti unveiled the new music video for his single “For The Record,” which you can watch HERE.
