Moneybagg Yo has initiated the rollout campaign for his upcoming album with his new single which samples a classic Outkast record.
On Thursday (December 8,) Yo Gotti’s Collective Music Group star dropped off the visual to his latest single “Quickie,” which utilizes a sample of Outkast’s 1996 record “Jazzy Belle,” that Lil Wayne also famously sampled for The Drought is Over 4: Return to the Carter 3 Sessions mixtape hit “PMW,” in 2007. The visual for the explicit track teeters back-and-forth between the strip club and interstellar backdrops of Moneybagg Yo in an astronaut suit as he raps about the pleasures of impromptu sex.

He continued: “But it’s all about Gumbo right now. Actually, we putting together my own paper, I’m gonna come out with my own paper. You know what I’m saying? And we’re gonna do the leaf too. So that’s coming too.”
