Yung Mal announces new project with Pyrex Whippa and “Blake Griffin” Vid ft Doe Boy

The upcoming tape showcases Mal’s effortlessly intricate rhymes–the 24-year-old rapper is an expert at finding unique rhythmic pockets within the beat, frequently messing with listener’s expectations of meter and the bar line. A favorite of the new generation of Southern rappers (DaBaby, Offset Lil Gotit, Dreamville), the Baltimore-born Pyrex is a perfect fit for Mal’s style, offering a diverse variety woozy trap instrumentals on which the young rapper can perfect his flexes. Featuring appearances from Lil Keed, Lil Gotit, Doe Boy, and more, 6 Rings arrives on March 5th via Alamo Records.

“Blake Griffin” is a bouncy, hypnotic, piano-laden trap single named after the superstar Detroit Pistons forward, “Blake Griffin” is an ode to Mal’s flashy approach to flexin’–bands fly out of his bank account as fast as they’re deposited. The single features an appearance from Doe Boy, the FBG-affiliated Cleveland native, who contrasts Mal’s hushed boasts with a snarling, unhinged verse of his own. In the video, Mal and Doe Boy ball out in black-and-white (director Motion Picture Sh*t adds a touch of color), strutting their stuff in front of a basketball hoop and a police lineup wall.

6 Rings is Yung Mal’s first full-length project since last summer’s release of Iceburg, his debut solo mixtape.
