Ladies and gentlemen, buckle up because the rap game just got a fresh injection of energy courtesy of none other than the buoyant and boundary-pushing Lil Yachty. The man who once famously lamented, "Hip-hop is in a terrible place," is flipping the script with his latest move: the launch of Concrete Rekordz.

Picture this: a constellation of rising stars, handpicked by Yachty himself, ready to shake up the scene. We're talking about the likes of Karrahbooo, DC2TRILL, Draft Day, and Camo!, each poised to leave an indelible mark on the genre. And guess what? You won't have to wait long to vibe with them because they're all set to drop some fire on Concrete Rekordz's inaugural compilation album, "It's Us Volume 1," slated for release on April 5th.

Now, rewind to Yachty's Field Trip Tour last year, where these prodigies first graced the stage, leaving audiences in awe with their raw talent and infectious energy. And guess what? The party's not over yet! Yachty's taking this show across the pond for the European leg this spring, so you had better secure those tickets pronto.

But wait, there's more! Concrete Recordz, affectionately known as Concrete Boys, just unleashed a sonic bombshell with their latest track, "Family Business." Trust me, you'll want to crank up the volume on this one.

And if that's not enough to get your pulse racing, let's hear it straight from the industry heavyweights themselves. Quality Control Music COO and co-founder Kevin "Coach K" Lee is all praises for Yachty's visionary move, stating, "Yachty has always had a profound vision since the day we met, and to see him take his curatorial magic and expand it to discover and enhance other artists is exciting to me." And who could forget the seal of approval from QC CEO and co-founder Pierre "P" Thomas? "I'm excited to see Yachty step into the executive role alongside being one of the most formidable creatives in the world with such an eye for talent," he exclaimed. "Karrahbooo is a star, and they are all going to be the new wave of cool that can bring something different to the culture that is so badly needed."
