The Memphis MC says this tape is "for the streets! Not the industry."

One of Memphis' most rapidly rising MCs is coming back with a new mixtape very soon. Moreover, Moneybagg Yo just announced via social media that his next project Hard To Love: Heartless Edition will release on Friday, May 26, 2023. Not only that, but he also teased via Instagram that another album is also in the works for this year. With this, the "Motion God" rhymer is capitalizing on a lot of teases and hints towards Hard To Love's release. In another Instagram post, he had talked about the inspiration behind this tape, part of his Heartless series.

"I gained and lost more than I ever thought I would and had no other safe outlet for all the emotions and dark thoughts that came wit that other than making music,” Moneybagg Yo wrote. “I’m blessed to have an art form to express myself inside & out with you all. Demario is the one that all the s**t happened to but nobody understood that I still gotta wake up and be Bagg every day to provide for my family and continue to carve my legacy but it’s not easy balancing the two."

Elsewhere, he also detailed the struggles he faced in the time after his last project, 2021's A Gangsta's Pain. In addition, Moneybagg Yo clarified that he recorded too much material for just one project, hence why he's blessing us with two this year. While we still don't know the official release date or title for his next album after Hard To Love, it will likely also release via CMG Records/Interscope. With his other extracurricular avenues in mind, the 31-year-old MC is looking to keep his upward trajectory intact.

However, it's not like all of his endeavors resulted in popular acclaim, as impressive as they may be. For example, his recently opened restaurant, Cache 42, boasts a $135 40 oz. Tomahawk steak, which many took issue with. Still, you've got to know what you're worth, and it's really up to whoever's enjoying the dish to decide. Regardless, let us know if you're excited for Hard To Love in the comments down below. Also, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Moneybagg Yo.
