  • On Tuesday's (Feb. 4) episode of #EverydayStruggle, Nadeska, Wayno and DJ Akademiks are joined by Memphis rapper Yo Gotti. The CMG head honcho talks about his new album ‘Untrapped,’ owning his masters, being active in prison reform and his successful business ventures. First, Yo Gotti explains the meaning behind the title of his latest LP and speaks on his upbringing in Memphis. Then, the 38-year-old rapper reveals how he discovered and helped develop the careers of CMG artists like Black Youngsta , Moneybagg Yo, 42 Dugg and more. Soon after, Gotti drops some business gems on how he was able to purchase his masters and elaborated on the lengthy process it took for him to receive his publishing rights. Later in the show, Gotti talks about the start of his annual Birthday Bash, getting banned from venues in Memphis and his leg setting on fire during last year’s performance. Next, Gotti speaks on the greatest advice he’s gotten from Jay-Z, talks prison reform and opens up about the Mississippi inmates that are being mistreated in prison. To close out the show, Gotti speaks on adjusting to streaming services, investing in your craft and the importance of financial literacy.

    I feel Gotti has made more of an impact as a mogul and Label owner than an artist. In no way is that a diss, but imo that's really impressive.

      Rico H. Bro you gotta be from Memphis to understand. No diss to you but Gotti predicted everything he’s doing today back in the late 90’s

      @@streamzwithtony3211 I feel it for sho. I'm from East Houston so i don't know much about the Memphis scene besides what i see at face value. Either way ya'll doing it right down there. Just like Atlanta it nice to see people in places where the moto is to work together and everyone eats, besides the old "there can only be one king" moto.

      Olivier Right!! He was fishing to get a headline. I’m surprised he even asked that question because he always says that he hates when he hears people saying who they could have signed.
      Title would have politely been “ Yo Gotti Says He Could Have Signed . . “ 😂
