Moneybagg Yo, a proud product of Memphis, was faced with the daunting decision to leave high school behind to provide for his family and scrape together the funds for studio sessions. Since then, he's emerged as an unwavering force in his generation of music, dropping an impressive tally of mixtapes annually. Let's not forget his allegiance to CMG, with Yo Gotti keeping the musical pulse of Memphis alive and well.
