Moneybagg Yo is back and baring it all. The multi-platinum Memphis rapper delivers the new single “Close the Door,” a reflective and emotionally-charged track. Released via CMG/N-Less/Interscope Records, the record depicts Moneybagg’s journey through fame, the weight of trauma, and the pressure to keep being productive.
With a moody instrumental as the backdrop, MoneyBagg delivers bars soaked in reflection and survival: “I done ran through bout 2 or 3 million and I spent it all on drank. They told me go hard or go home, I switched the rules and went hard in the paint.”
“Close the Door” feels different. It’s stripped back, personal, and poetic, like he’s letting us inside the mind of someone who’s made it but hasn’t forgotten the weight of getting there. The track touches on addiction, loss, sacrifice, and the loneliness of elevation.
The official “Close the Door” music video premiered across the BET Networks and the Paramount Times Square billboards, adding a cinematic layer to the track’s storytelling. In the clip, MoneyBagg stands alone in dimly lit spaces, flanked by flickering memories and symbolic doorways, as if he’s walking through the chapters of his own life.
“Close the Door” follows MoneyBagg’s 2024 album, SPEAK NOW, and its deluxe edition SPEAK NOW OR…, which spawned tracks like “BUSSIN” featuring Rob49, and genre-defying crossovers like “WHISKEY WHISKEY” with Morgan Wallen and “DRUNK OFF U” with Chris Brown. The 29-track deluxe featured guest appearances from Lil Durk, BossMan Dlow, GloRilla, and YTB Fatt.
Since 2016, Moneybagg Yo has evolved into one of hip-hop’s most reputable voices. He earned his first No. 1 debut in 2021 with A Gangsta’s Pain, which moved over 110K units in its first week and featured triple-platinum anthems “Wockesha” and “Time Today.” Despite all the accolades, MoneyBagg never lets the music stray far from the streets that raised him.
