Memphis artist, established entrepreneur, and Bread Gang Entertainment CEO, Moneybagg Yo rolls out the touching video for “Nun Like Me,” from his latest Hard to Love mixtape. Nostalgic and introspective, the track explores the rapper's Memphis roots and his rise to hip-hop stardom. That journey comes alive in the moving visual, which finds Bagg making his way around his town. "I been 'round this street shit my whole life," he raps over bluesy guitar, sentimental chords, and laidback percussion. "Richard mill' on my right wrist, I really come from gangster shit — promise, you ain't nun like me." In the accompanying video, Bagg strolls around his hometown, eating delicious food, checking in on friends, and sharing good vibes. The visualizer is as much about the rapper as it is about the community from which he hails.

Prior to Hard To Love, Moneybagg Yo shared his chart-topping album, A Gangsta's Pain, which was the fourth highest selling rap album of 2021.  The RIAA certified Platinum album was listed “Best Albums of 2021” by The New York Times, Billboard, Complex, XXL, Uproxx, and more. Soon after he shared a collaboration with Yo Gotti, Mozzy, and Lil Poppa titled, “Big League,” which was chosen as the official song of the 2022 NBA Finals and can be found on the CMG compilation Gangsta Art.  

In just a few short years, Moneybagg Yo has cemented himself as one of the most irresistible voices in the club and on the streets. He developed his label, Bread Gang Entertainment, his artist BIG30 (NLess Entertainment) was tapped as part of XXL’s latest Freshman Class, and his business endeavors extend to the restaurant industry in 2023, recently opening Cache 42 Kitchen and Cocktails in his hometown. The rapper has also been nominated for a GRAMMY Award, Billboard Music Awards and iHeartRadio Award and collaborated with A-list stars like Kanye West, 2 Chainz, and YG. With Hard to Love, he adds another riveting chapter to his stellar discography. Additionally, Moneybagg Yo also recently kicked off his long-awaited US “Larger Than Life” tour.
