#PeepTheVisual: YGG Tay – YGG 3 EP

Evie — Thu, 08 Mar 2018 03:19:59 +0000

Baltimore native YGG Tay returns today with his latest project YGG 3 — a concise, straightforward EP that has him flexing his talents once again as he continues to unload top-notch products. Along with the release of his new EP, Tay also accompanies the project with an official video for the Trauma Tone-produced single “War.”

The grim, unabashed single is just one of the standouts that Tay delivers throughout the EP, setting the tone for the entire effort. If one thing is absolutely clear, it’s that Tay is able to create a soundtrack for all the Young Go Getters hustling in the streets.

Evie — Sun, 29 Oct 2017 20:16:48 +0000

Baltimore’s own YGG Tay returns to the forefront and he’s back in a huge way. The artist has been relentless with his work ethic over the last couple years thanks to project like Rich Before Rap, Drag Season, all numerous videos in-between.

This time around, YGG Tay circles back to follow up his highly-acclaimed mixtape Rich Before Rap with an official sequel, Rich Before Rap 2. With hard-hitting features, Tay calls on Shy Glizzy for “Block” and YG Teck for “Through The Years,” making for two great collaborations. In conjunction with the release of his project, Tay has also delivered a music video for another standout; the Raeshad Beats-produced single “Lit Up”—a track that finds Tay putting on for the Young Go Getters while letting listeners know that he’s not going anywhere. On the production side, contributions come in from the likes of Trauma Tone, D Dae, Damebeatz, Young Lan, and many more.

New Music: YGG Tay – “Drag Season” [Mixtape]

Evie — Thu, 03 Nov 2016 04:31:48 +0000

YGG Tay has been feeding the streets throughout 2016 and it first started with the release of 252: The Mixtape — a 9-track project that provided a quintessential soundtrack for not only Tay’s fellow hungry hustlers in Baltimore, but across the map as well.

With plenty of collaborations under his belt with the likes of Young Scooter, TM88, Zaytoven, Metro Boomin, and more, YGG Tay celebrates his birthday by giving back to his fans in the form a new featureless-mixtape titled Drag Season. Although there aren’t any lyrical collaborations on the mixtape, Tay fully immerses his fiery persona and delivery in production from Will A Fool, Elijah 808, Traumatone, and Lil Lody who takes care of the bulk of instrumental work across the project. YGG Tay’s music resonates on an authentic level thanks to his God-given ability to rhyme with a raw, unfiltered edge perspective, making Drag Season a must-listen.

Drag Season is available for streaming at the top of the page. Feel free to drop us your thoughts in the comments section.
