Visualizer: Yung Mal “Like Belly”

POSTED BY :Aaron Grossman

ATL riser Yung Mal is back and dropping his next single, “Like Belly,” channeling the bravado and machismo of the hit film Belly. Mal leans into his natural street grit and flashy aggression throughout this track, commenting on his knack for “making odds even” and beckoning cops to “come get me.” Mal’s machine gun lyricism floats perfectly on top of the beat, which blends ATL’s signature bass-heavy 808s and snares with snappy opera cantata vocals, giving the track a larger than life feel. The Alamo Records signee’s life is full of ups and downs, but it’s crystal clear he’s still living it big, just like Nas and DMX in Belly.
