Moneybagg Yo cleans up Instagram account ahead of new album, 'A Gangster's Pain'

Interscope Records

Memphis rapper Moneybagg Yo is gearing up to release his highly anticipated new album, A Gangster's Pain, this Friday. 

The "GO!" rapper removed most of his Instagram posts Wednesday, with the exception of two. One is an animated video of the Gangster's Pain album cover, featuring the name of his Walker Homes neighborhood hanging on a street sign. "I’m talking too much...This bout to be my biggest project ever. I stamp [that]," Moneybagg wrote in the caption.

The second post appears to be a screen grab from an upcoming music video for "Free Promo," featuring Polo G and Lil Durk. "If I Got Paid For Wat They Think Bout Me I Prolly Lose The Count," Bagg wrote, sharing a photo of the three rappers sitting at a card table.

"Free Promo" will follow videos for Bagg's previous singles "Hard for the Next," featuring Future, and his anthem, "Time Today."

According to a press release, the 22 tracks on A Gangster's Pain will feature additional appearances from Jhené Aiko, fellow Memphis rapper TripStar, Dallas singer/songwriter and rapper Kaash Paige, and multi-Grammy-winner Pharrell, the latter of whom will be featured on the track "Certified Neptunes."

Moneybagg Yo will play tracks from A Gangster's Pain during a live streaming party, hosted by Ebro Darden, kicking off Thursday at 11:45 p.m. ET on Apple Music.
