Equally capable of crooning a heartfelt trap ballad as spitting a breakneck 16, few artists had natural gifts on the level of the late Mo3. The Dallas native left the world with plenty of music in the vault, and today, the artist’s family and team announces Shottaz 4Eva (Deluxe), an expansion of Mo3’s first posthumous album. Shottaz 4Eva is a full showcase of the singing, songwriting, and rapping ability that helped Mo3 establish himself as a vital street rap voice in Texas and beyond. The upcoming Deluxe edition of the album adds new songs, and features brand new appearances from high profile guests. Shottaz 4Eva (Deluxe) arrives later this summer via H$M Music / EMPIRE.
Along with the announcement of Shottaz 4Eva (Deluxe), Mo3’s team shares the video for “Get Back,” which the artist was able to complete before his passing last November. A hard-charging track that leans into Mo’s aggressive side, “Get Back” finds the artist effortlessly switching from rapidfire rhymes to bluesy melodies, painting a vivid picture of Mo’s boss credentials. In the video, Mo rocks his signature red puffer jacket, with diamond-studded watches on each wrist, as he enthusiastically rhymes along with his confrontational lyrics.
Shottaz 4Eva is home to “Outside” ft. OG Bobby Billions, a successful single that doubles as a heartfelt examination of life on the street. With over 97 million streams, including over 50 million views on the YouTube video, “Outside” has been making a major impact on the charts. It reached a new height on last week’s Billboard Hot 100, placing at #92, and it remains on the chart at #98. The song currently sits at #5 on YouTube’s U.S. Music Video Chart, after peaking at #3 last week, and resides at #2 on Audiomack‘s Global Top Songs Chart, with over 6.5 million streams to date.
Beyond “Outside,” the original version of Shottaz 4Eva is packed with anthems and street hymns, and features appearances from Mo’s frequent collaborator Boosie Badazz, Kevin Gates, on YouTube Music Video Chart Top 50 hit “Broken Love” (100 million YouTube views), YFN Lucci and Foogiano. The album continues Mo’s strong run of storytelling and emotional honesty that he displayed in last year’s Badazz Mo3, a full length collaboration with Boosie,and 2019’s Osama. With production from Splurge, Rob Stoval, Finesse Tha God, and more, Shottaz 4Eva is available everywhere via H$M Music/EMPIRE.
Though Mo3 is no longer with us, his legacy lives on in everybody who’s been moved by his music. The late artist’s family and team will continue to release music that he was able to record before his untimely passing. For now, honor the legacy of Mo3 by streaming Shottaz 4Eva–instead of dwelling on his loss, appreciate all he was able to give during his too brief lifetime.
