— A powerful lyricist and master of heartfelt melodies, Yatta Bandz best expresses his emotions through his music. Most recently, the Hayward, CA native paints a picture of life as a rising rap star on his new EP, Acrylic.
The eight-track project expands on the deeply personal narratives Yatta Bandz has shared in the past, diving into topics like heartbreak, the importance of love, self-growth, and more. He sets the tone for the project on opening track “All I Ask,” a deeply personal track that finds Yatta begging his girl to make up her mind and stop playing games. He continues to fine-tune his art on the glistening “I Will,” where Yatta promises to treat his girl better than the rest. Despite his past confidence, the Bay Area star gets introspective on “Bad Guy,” recognizing his demons and the mistakes he’s made in the past as he raps,
“Know that I ain’t perfect, but my loyalty is so legit
I’ve been tryna change the way that I live
I just kept it real, that’s all that I did.”
As the project comes to a close, Yatta slows things down, showing off his vocal chops over harmonious strings on “Thank You.” On closing track “A L O N E,” Yatta is at his most vulnerable, letting go of the pain and hurt rapping,
“I been A L O N E, dear please G.O.D.
Can you talk to me, had it hard but thankful for them lessons that you taught to me
At war with all my demons, you the only one that fought for me.”
Yatta shared his inspiration behind the EP and the project’s title as he explained,
“The reasoning behind me choosing Acrylic for my EP is because music is a form of art, and acrylics play a big role in not only painting but many things that are created in the art world physically. My form of art with music can’t be seen, but can be heard and still have an impact on someone’s heart as much as physical art can. Acrylics are one of the most versatile substances and I want my music to be the same way, making you feel love, pain, joy, and sadness.”
With 3 million streams per week on his catalog and Acrylic out now, Yatta hopes to become the next Bay Area rapper to blow.
