A Gangsta's Pain is the fourth studio album by American rapper Moneybagg Yo. It was released on April 23, 2021, through Roc Nation, Collective Music Group, Bread Gang Entertainment, N-Less Entertainment, and Interscope Records. The album features guest appearances from Kaash Paige, Big30, Future, Tripstar, Polo G, Lil Durk, Jhené Aiko, and Pharrell Williams. The album debuted atop the US Billboard 200, earning 110,000 album-equivalent units, becoming Moneybagg Yo's first US number-one album.[2] The deluxe edition with six new songs was released on October 22, 2021, with additional guest appearances from EST Gee, Pooh Shiesty, Big Homiie G, Yung Bleu, Janiyah, Lil Wayne, Ashanti, and DJ Khaled.[3]

Background

In 2020, Moneybagg Yo released two projects: his third studio album, Time Served, and Code Red, a collaborative mixtape with American rapper Blac Youngsta. Both projects debuted and peaked in the top 10 of the Billboard 200, at number 3 and number 6, respectively. The former album was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[4]

Release and promotion

On March 12, 2021, Moneybagg Yo announced that the album was completed and ready to go with it being released in 2021, but did not have an exact release date planned.[5] He subtly revealed the title of the album on March 26, 2021, the same day that he and American rapper Future released the single "Hard for the Next", the second single from A Gangsta's Pain.[6] However, he revealed its title explicitly along with its cover and pre-order link through social media on April 14, 2021. The track listing was revealed on April 21, 2021, but was shared the previous day on Apple Music.

Singles

"Time Today" was released as the lead single of the album alongside the official music video on February 3, 2021.[7] "Hard for the Next", a collaboration with American rapper Future, was released on March 26, 2021, as the album's second single.[8] "Wockesha" was sent to rhythmic contemporary radio on August 10, 2021, as the third single.[9] "Scorpio" from the deluxe edition was sent to rhythmic contemporary radio on November 16, 2021, as the fourth single.[1]

The first and only promotional single, "Go", a collaboration with American rapper Big30, was released on April 14, 2021, the same day Moneybagg Yo announced the album.[10]
