The Video:

Rising from a soldier to a general in the ATL trap scene, Yung Mal has a bottomless bag of tricks behind the mic. Showing off his melodic mastery, Mal shares “Woah Woah,” his latest video. Floating atop a beat from his 1.5 Da Label producer Gudda Tay, Mal flexes in a staccato auto-tuned flow, stacking flexes alongside fellow ATL heavy-hitter Lil Gotit: “Pull up in them Benzos, we don’t ride no Volvo,” chants Mal.

In the video, directed by Ndoh, Mal, Gotit, and Mal’s young son stay frosty in an enclosed space, the two emcees flirting with models and messing with Nerf guns while showing off their wintertime drip. “Woah Woah” is the latest video from from 1.5 Way Or No Way, Mal’s new mixtape, following the luxurious clip for “Watch Ya Step” ft. Slimelife Shawty, the L.A.-set video for “Wassup Wit Me” ft. G Herbo, recently named the “Must-Hear Rap Song Of The Day” by Pitchfork, and “Walkin,” featuring rising Memphis star Pooh Shiesty.

Named after the neighborhood in which he grew up, and for a phrase that was a favorite of his late homie Plug, 1.5 Way Or No Way is a mature and versatile effort. Mal’s rhymes are more polished and precise, reflecting the perspective of a father of a young son and daughter and a neighborhood leader who bears the hopes and dreams of his friends on his back.. The new mixtape earned praise from Complex (“Yung Mal can rap with some of the biggest in the game right now and still hold his own”) and HotNewHipHop (“Yung Mal bosses up in a major way on his new project”), as well as coverage from XXL, RESPECT, and more. Featuring additional appearances from BIG30 and Real Taker, 1.5 Way Or No Way is available everywhere via Alamo Records.
