I try to look into everybody’s story and history,” says Gotti. Today, his label, the 14-year-old CMG, not only boasts a formidable roster - including Moneybagg Yo, 42 Dugg, EST Gee, Bloc Boy JB and Blac Youngsta - but also announced an eight-figure partnership deal with Interscope Records in June.

We haven’t heard a full project from the Memphis label head since Gotti Made-It in 2017 that featured his hit single “Rake It Up” remix ft. With only two weeks left in January, it looks like Gotti should be dropping very, very soon. “We told them we about to drop a whole lot of CMG sh*t this year, right? You dropped your sh*t today, right? I’mma drop my album this month, too. “I want to make a special announcement over here, Moneybagg,” Gotti said on stage last Friday. The “Rake It Up” rapper made an appearance at Moneybagg’s concert and dropped a “special announcement” about how CMG plans to take over the new year. After last week’s release of Moneybagg Yo’s album, Time Served, Gotti said he is going to join his label signee and drop a project of his own by the end of January. Yo Gotti wants to make sure fans feel the presence of his label Cocaine Muzic Group, or CMG, in full force for 2020.
