Moneybagg Yo, Lil Durk, And EST Gee Stand Tall And Flex Muscle In Their Video For ‘Switches & Dracs’
“Nearly six months after its release, Moneybagg Yo returned with a reloaded version of his fourth album, A Gangsta’s Pain, which added seven additional songs to the album’s original 22 tracks. One of those is “Switches & Dracs,” featuring Lil Durk and EST Gee. Now there’s a video, in which the rappers stand tall and flex heavy muscle while delivering rhymes about their loyalty.
The album’s extended version also includes new appearances from DJ Khaled, Lil Wayne, Ashanti, Yung Bleu, Ja’niyah, and Big Homiie G. They join acts such as Polo G, Kaash Paige, Pharrell, Future, Big30, and more, who appeared on the album’s standard version. Shortly after A Gangsta’s Pain was originally released, it topped the charts, becoming Moneybagg’s first No. 1 album. A couple of weeks later, it returned to No. 1, making it one of eight albums in 2021 to spend multiple weeks atop the albums chart.
Prior to releasing the extended version of A Gangsta’s Pain, Moneybagg released a sultry video for “One Of Them Nights” and got lost in the sunken place in his video for “Wockesha.”
You can watch the video for the new track above.

EST Gee Threatens Revenge In His Borderline Blasphemous ‘Make It Even’ Video
Louisville rapper EST gets borderline blasphemous in the new video for “Make It Even” from his recently released mixtape Bigger Than Life Or Death, out now on Interscope Records. Actually, I guess it’s probably more sacrilegious, with its irreverent use of Christian iconography including crucifixes, altars, and confessionals as he threatens bloody revenge on his enemies.
The wicked concept constitutes something of a departure for the Collective Music Group rapper, whose videos are usually meditations on the spoils of rap and other, less legal activities. Generally, he’s surrounded by women, as he is in the “Price Tag” video, or money, like in the videos for “Riata Dada,” “5500 Degrees,” and “In Town.” Even when he’s making a guest appearance, as he does on G-Eazy’s “At Will” and 42 Dugg’s “Rose Gold,” it seems like his singular focus is money — which is why the imagery in “Make It Even” is even more jarring, whatever your spiritual affiliation.
Whatever visual cues he uses, it’s clear he’s having a stellar year, from featuring on fellow Louisville citizen Jack Harlow’s album to meeting with Jay-Z. EST Gee’s profile is rising, bit by bit, thanks to his consistency where it counts: His gritty, unapologetic lyrics.

Est Gee And Lil Durk Reflect On Their Upbringings In The Dark ‘In Town’ Video
Right on the heels of his mixtape Bigger Than Life Or Death, Louisville rapper Est Gee has shared the video for his collaboration with Lil Durk, “In Town.” After a number of breakout songs like the title track of his mixtape, “Price Tag,” “Capitol 1” “Riata Dada,” and “5500 Degrees,” this new video reflects on the hard upbringings both rappers have faced.
Directed by Est Gee’s frequent collaborator Diesel Films, the video is a mix of performance shots and a drive through old neighborhoods that these artists have now transcended but can’t seem to forget. “In Town” is one of the latest songs released off Bigger Than Life Or Death, which had an impressive showing on the Billboard charts despite its mixtape status. The release hit No. 7 on the charts and has earned lots of critical praise for Est Gee, who has been dubbed one of the most impressive rising rookies in rap. As for Lil Durk, he’s been one of Chicago’s most beloved cult rappers for a minute now, and his latest joint album with Lil Baby, The Voice Of The Heroes hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
Check out the new video from these two above, and look out for more coming from both soon.
