Ready for a full-fledged countdown? Look no further than what’s brewing with West Coast musician Yatta Bandz preparing to deliver an Acrylic studio project to the masses this Friday.

Yatta Bandz is slated to deliver ‘Acrylic’ to the world this Friday

While you won’t have to wait long for the new EP, you can rest assured it’s set to be the biggest teaser of the season with just eight fire tunes to tease an even bigger release later down the road.

A master of vulnerable melodies and heartfelt lyrics, Yatta Bandz is one of the Bay Area's best kept secrets. Today, the Hayward, CA native officially announces his upcoming EP Acrylic, out next Friday 11/8. The eight-track project is set to expand upon the deeply personal narratives Yatta has shared in the past, diving into topics like heartbreak, the importance of love, self-growth, and more. Along with the EP announcement, the Bay Area riser shares a glimpse into the project, releasing a short trailer for the project. In the trailer, Yatta paints on a canvas while singing an acoustic version of "Work of Art," furthering the metaphor of the young star being a master painter, with an unlimited array of colors in his palette for him to express his emotions. Stay tuned for the trailer coming later this afternoon!

The road to Acrylic began earlier this Fall with Yatta Bandz's new singles "My Mistake" ft. Lil Bean and "Work of Art." Born in Hayward, an East Bay city south of Oakland and north of Fremont, Yatta Bandz has quietly become one of the most popular rappers to emerge from the Bay Area this decade. The young rapper had a rough childhood, experiencing periods of homelessness during his elementary school years. He found his refuge in music, sharing freestyles to YouTube and building a following big enough to make his debut album a hit. Since releasing his debut project Perfect Storm in 2022, Yatta has generated over 480 million worldwide streams, including on hits like “Don’t Go” (40.3 million Spotify streams, 10 million YouTube views) and “Unseen Scars” (38 million Spotify streams, 6.7 million views on YouTube audio). Last year, Yatta followed up Perfect Storm with the heartfelt TUFF LUV, home to highlights like "Way Out West" and "Polaroid." A showcase for his sharp songwriting and achingly honest lyrics, TUFF LUV has racked up over 50 million streams to date across platforms.

With 3 million streams per week on his catalog and a work of art on the way, Yatta hopes to become the next Bay Area rapper to blow. Stay tuned for the new EP, coming 11/8 via EMPIRE.
