by

Yo Gotti, Moneybagg Yo, Mozzy and Lil Poppa announced the release of their new joint single “Big League,” which is currently available to stream on all platforms.

“Official song of the NBA Finals to coincide with Game 1 of the NBA Finals between the Boston Celtics and the Golden State Warriors,” Gotti wrote on Instagram alongside a clip of the basketball-themed hit. With his songs, the Memphis mogul also pays homage to Memphis Grizzlies superstar Ja Morant: “Hit a Ja Morant shot, get ’em big mad.”

Murda Beatz produced the new album, which comes after CMG was named “The Hardest-Working Label in Hip-Hop” and featured on the cover of Billboard. CMG CEO Yo Gotti, Moneybagg Yo, EST Gee, Mozzy, Blac Youngsta, and Lehla Samia were among the cover stars.

Yo Gotti, Moneybagg Yo, Mozzy, and Lil Poppa have a heater on their hands. The crew just dropped their new collab, “Big League,” which is thought to come from a Collective Music Group collaborative album. The Murda Beatz-produced track features the rappers in “big league” mode, moments before the NBA finals gets underway.

Gotti announced via Twitter that “Big League” is the “official song of the NBA finals,” and upon first listen, no one should be surprised, as the song is filled with basketball references.

“Court-side seats, this the big bag/Hit a Ja Morant shot, get ‘em big mad/Real hustle knew one day it was gon’ pay off, pay off/Yeah, now I’m ballin’ in the play-offs, play-offs/Mansion in Miami, ball at the Celtics ‘Gotti, you the entree,’ yeah, I nailed it,” raps Gotti.

Moneybagg swoops in, rapping, “Been won a championship in the trap/This Rollie a trophy, I hold it up/They let us get up in the points, it’s a wrap/Gon’ shine every time, it’s an open look.”

In a recent interview with Billboard, Gotti took pride in assembling a line-up of all-stars in his Collective Music Group label, promising that he would never allow himself or his artists to sell out. “As a label, one thing we don’t do and will never do is be in a bidding war,” he said. “You want to be with us? Then we’ll work out business terms that make sense for both of us.”

Jay-Z Highlights Babyface Ray, Kodak Black, And More In His New Memorial Day Playlist For Tidal

Another holiday, another chance for Jay-Z to re-up his rap nerd credibility. This time around, Jay’s new Tidal playlist is called “Montecito” and landed on the streaming app on Memorial Day with the description “(Mostly) ’22 vibes.” The one exception that prompts the qualifier is Kodak Black’s 2021 hit “Super Gremlin,” which extended its run far beyond its October 2021 release date as one of the more popular recent singles in rap.

Kodak also appears multiple times on the playlist, with Jay including “Purple Stamp” and “I Wish” from the Floridian’s 2022 project Back For Everything. Other artists Jay included multiple times are Detroit upstart Babyface Ray, whose Face track “A1 Since Day 1” leads off the playlist, and 42 Dugg & EST Gee, the dynamic duo whose joint mixtape Last Ones Left was the brainchild of their CMG team captain, Yo Gotti. Speaking of Yo Gotti, the Memphis mainstay also gets multiple selections from his own new project CM10: Free Game.

Of course, Kendrick Lamar’s Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers gets a few entries, as do Future and Lil Durk, while Boldy James, Pusha T, and Vince Staples are all represented with a track apiece. And because having one problematic entity in Kodak Black apparently wasn’t enough, Jay gave some “True Love” to his musical younger brother Kanye West’s new track with XXXTentacion. If anything is missing, it’s some female representation; you’d think Jay would love the throwback vibe of Megan Thee Stallion’s new track “Plan B.”

As always, though, the new playlist proves that Hov keeps his ears to the street, even if he’s not actively recording any new music himself. And for the newer or more underground artists receiving some spotlight, it’s a chance to tap in with new fans who recognize Jay’s nearly impeccable taste. You can listen to the playlist on Tidal below.

Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
