Yella Beezy announces Asylum Records deal
The Texas-raised rap artist’s new music video comes through his newly inked partnership.
“I Guess” opens up with ominous production and menacing piano keys provided by frequent collaborator Monstah Beatz (Trapboy Freddy, Philthy Rich). The track culminates on a head-knocking chorus as he urges, “I guess you ain’t think that a n*gga really hustle, b*tch, I can sell salt to a snail.” Directed by Leff, the accompanying visual brings his Dallas roots to life as Yella Beezy maneuvers through black and white film to riding in a lowrider while showcasing his uncompromising flow. Speaking on the new track, Yella Beezy shares, “On this song “I Guess”, I’m basically saying that after a small hiatus, I’m still the shit! And I guess they thought a lot of things about me, but contrary to your beliefs, I’m back and better than ever.”
Asylum Records is big happy about the deal
The record label’s head honcho has since confirmed the power move and hyped up about what fans should expect from the partnership.
“We are very excited to welcome Yella Beezy to the Asylum family,” says Asylum Records President Dallas Martin. “He’s built an incredible brand and catalog over the last several years. We look forward to continuing his trajectory to global superstardom.”
