Lil Yachty’s Concrete Boys Teammates Draft Day & Dc2trill Link For Ultra Wavy Single “Calling 4 Backup”

by

Lil Yachty has taken so many big steps and leaps over the last year and change. Overall, it’s hard to argue against the fact that they all paid dividends. He went from dropping inconsistent projects to putting out two of his boldest and most colorful statements to date. Let’s Start Here. and his James Blake collab joint Bad Cameo saw him explore new genres and sounds. On top of that, his rapping has greatly improved with efforts like “The Secret Recipe.” However, he’s also become a record label founder in this time, launching Concrete Rekordz and his accompanying posse, Concrete Boys. There was a bump in the road along the way, as KARRAHBOOO departed in ugly fashion. However, Lil Boat still has multiple talents onboard.

Two of them are Draft Day and Dc2trill, and they are continuing to build out their own careers more with “CALLING 4 BACKUP.” This is the former’s release and there’s speculation that he’s dropping a solo tape soon. The last time we got one from the Florida native was in 2019 with the aptly named First Round Pick. However, Genius is also saying that the potential Rookie Season is a collab tape with Dc2trill. Regardless of whether or not we get it, “CALLING 4 BACKUP” is a fun, laid-back, and braggy cut. The druggy slow-mo vocal effects amplify that vibe tenfold, along with the dreamy boom-bap beat.

“Calling 4 Backup” – Draft Day & Dc2trill

Quotable Lyrics:

Swing the door, I see real watchers
He ran out of K, n****, we still poppin’ (Still)
Everywhere we pop out, we show stoppin’
Go one up too fast, n****, die where you stand
I lean too much, I could never take stance
I own my stripes, like the shoes cost stance

Lil Yachty Tell His Concrete Boys Crew ‘Let’s Get On Dey Ass’ With An Electrifying New Video

by

Earlier this year, Lil Yachty launched his record label, Concrete Rekordz, and signed his first act: The raucous, Atlanta-based crew Concrete Boys, which includes a collection of proteges Yachty believes can get hip-hop out of the “terrible state” he fretted over last year. To that end, he’s been releasing a slew of off-the-wall, free verse-style singles, including “A Cold Sunday,” “Something Ether,” and now, “Let’s Get On Dey Ass,” an electrifying track in the vein of fellow ATLien Playboi Carti’s amorphous, video gamey sound.

In the colorful video for the song, Yachty and the Boys (and Karrahbooo — I guess it’s like a “Storm from the X-Men” situation) vibe out and parade through a series of sparse tableaux sporting matching gear to show off their team spirit. They also demonstrate an astonishing array of complex high-fives, careen through the Georgia woods in a luxury SUV, and peruse racks of vacuum sealed fashion pieces. The vibe just screams good times and camaraderie, and suggests more boisterous and defiant hits to come.

Yachty isn’t just trying to save hip-hop, though; last month, he also teamed up with UK producer James Blake for an experimental collaborative album called Bad Cameo.

Lil Yachty Launches His Label Concrete Rekordz, Backed By Quality Control And K-Pop Machine HYBE

by

Lil Yachty has been everywhere lately, collaborating with both major stars like Drake and J. Cole and rising stars like JID and Nemzzz. Now, he’s taking yet another step in furthering his rap dominance, announcing the launch of his new label, Concrete Rekordz. The label is named after his crew, Concrete Boys, who also comprise the roster, and is backed by the label that originally signed Yachty, Quality Control Music.

An additional wrinkle is that Quality Control is now owned by HYBE America, the stateside arm of the Korean entertainment company responsible for the success of K-pop groups like BTS, New Jeans, Seventeen, and Tomorrow X Together. In other words, there’s some serious muscle behind Concrete Rekordz, which accompanied the launch with the release of their new video for “Family Business.”

The Concrete Boys crew consists of Camo!, DC2TRILL, Draft Day, and Karrahbooo, who accompanied Yachty on his 2023 Field Trip Tour.

In a press release, Quality Control COO “Coach K” Lee said, “Yachty has always had profound vision since the day we met and to see him take his curatorial magic and expand it to discover and enhance other artists is exciting to me.” Meanwhile, his co-founder, QC CEO Pierre “P” Thomas, said, “I’m excited to see Yachty step into the role of executive alongside being one of the most formidable creatives in the world with such an eye for talent. Karrahbooo is a star and they are all going to be the new wave of cool that can bring something different to the culture that is so badly needed.”
