The rapper described "Hard To Love" as "THE SINGLE" to his upcoming album.

Moneybagg Yo came to dominate the summer. The Memphis rapper had fans on their toes over the past few weeks. Although he intended to drop the project last week, he had a change of plans due to the release of Taylor Swift’s Midnights (The Til Dawn Edition). Fans had to wait another week but finally, he came through on Friday (June 2nd) morning with Hard To Love: Heartless Edition. The rapper returns to his roots, delivering another installment in his celebrated mixtape series. 

The latest opus from Moneybagg Yo boasts an impressive 20 songs in total. Although he holds down a large part of the project on his own, he brings on a list of stellar collaborators on the journey. Future, who he collaborated with on “Hard For The Next,” joins him on “Keep It Low.” Lil Durk joins Bagg and YTB FATT on “Rock Out,” while GloRIlla comes through on the previously released single, “On Wat U On.” YTB FATT, who joined Moneybagg Yo’s Bread Gang Ent in recent months, also appears on “Shot Off Gumbo,” alongside Fat Wizza, which dropped in March.

Moneybagg Yo’s Latest Project

Although a mixtape, Moneybagg Yo’s latest project is another step forward in his career. Along with highlighting the latest signee to Bread Gang, he revealed in a letter to fans on Thursday that he’s readying the release of his official follow-up to A Gangsta’s Pain. However, he acknowledged that he’s faced a number of adversities over the past few years, including the passing of his children’s mother Chyna Santana.

 “Preciate To All Y'all For Being Patient With Me It's Been A Long Two Years And Honestly it Don't Even Feel Like It. The Shit That Went On Could of Broke Me To My Knees But I’m To HardBody For Dat ! This Tape I Got Real Personal! Touched On Pain, Vulnerability, And Substance Abuse Shout Out To Everyone Who Played A Part In Putting This Together This Mixtape Is The SINGLE To My Upcoming Album! Trust me, This Shit Gone Set The Summer On Fye,” he wrote. Check out Hard To Love: Heartless Edition above.
