Yella Beezy may be facing tremendous heat from the internet and under investigation by authorties, but he's trying to paint himself as innocent. He's doing so with his brand-new single "My Head," which indirectly talks about his ongoing legal woes. If you haven't been up to speed, here's what to know. The Dallas rapper is currently dealing with murder for hire allegations revolving around the death of fellow Texas MC, Mo3. The latter was gunned down in broad daylight on Interstate 35E on Nov. 11, 2020. Per court documents, they claim that Beezy enlisted Kewon Dontrell White to slay his contemporary. Mr. White has been doing time for his involvement since 2021 and is serving nine years overall. As for Yella Beezy, he has denied any and all accusations and previously pleaded not guilty to all of the charges.
One of those included capital murder. He was arrested in early March and was eventually given a bond of $2 million. He was not able to pay that amount for his temporary freedom and eventually it was reduced to $750,000. That was cheap enough for Yella Beezy, so he forked over the six-figure total. He's currently awaiting a trial date; however, details remain scarce still at press time. The veteran spitter has yet to really address anything publicly relating to this ordeal. "My Head" is the only thing we got really, and again, he doesn't explicitly say anything. Although, at this point, it's probably his best option right now. He talks on the track about being overwhelmed and alone. One bar that particularly stands out over the gospel-inspired instrumental is, "It’s just me and myself in these f*cking four walls."

Kevin Abstract, like his stage name suggests, is back with another creative record. "GEEZER" is the name, and it sports a feature from singer, rapper, and actor, Dominic Fike. This now makes this their second ever collaboration, with the first being 2019's "Peach" from Kevin's ARIZONA BABY.
This track is also kind of special as it serves as the lead single for the former BROCKHAMPTON member's next solo LP, Blush. Per Hypebeast, fans should expect it to drop on June 27. Per Genius, its shaping up to be a stacked project too with potential features from JPEGMAFIA, The Kid LAROI, Danny Brown, Quadeca, and more.
Of course, this will be Kevin Abstract's fourth solo LP with American Boyfriend: A Suburban Love Story, ARIZONA BABY, and 2023's Blanket being the predecessors.
On "GEEZER," him and Fike have some great chemistry over this indie instrumental, which shouldn't be a surprise. The duo has some great humor about them too. They cheekily rap about being afraid of not chasing their dreams.
The parent element goes a long way in urging listeners to not feel like you are bound to one path in life. "I said, "Damn, back then you used to be my right hand" / What happened? / She said, "Dad, you got old and then you ruined my plans," Fike raps.
Check out the track below.
Quotable Lyrics:
She ain't get accepted where the teacher recommended (Uh-oh)
She still makin' coffee at the age of thirty-seven (Uh-oh)
I know it's a small town, but the mall now looks small now
I guess the lesson is never let your guard down
Banks put up the buildings and your parents build the fences
Please don't stay behind them in your mid-twenties
