Lil Yachty's Concrete Boys Unleashes Their Debut Album, 'It's Us, Vol. 1'

Lil Yachty continues to make waves.

After announcing the launch of his Concrete Rekordz label, the ATL rapper returned with the imprint’s first full-length project, It’s Us, Vol. 1 — a compilation album from his newly formed hip-hop collective, Concrete Boys. The effort was confirmed back in March, when Yachty unleashed the album’s first official single, “Family Business,” along with its video directed by Little Miles and AMD Visuals.

It’s Us, Vol. 1 highlights the label’s exciting roster of up-and-coming talent: Karrahbooo, Camo!, Dc2trill, and Draft Day, who were collectively introduced during the North American leg of Yachty’s The Field Trip Tour. The group’s first track, “MO JAMS,” arrived in December of 2023 and has since garnered more than 2 million views on the label’s YouTube channel. 

Yachty spoke about the collective in a recent interview with Uproxx, explaining his overall vision for his Concrete Rekordz label, which is a joint venture with Quality Control Music/HYBE.

“These are my friends. So it wasn’t like I was looking high and low for talent,” he told the outlet. “These were friends that I’ve made along the way. The most important thing to me is my friendships — and trying to bring everyone up to a level of success so they can provide for their families is the goal. Plus, I’ve always just loved the idea of groups and crews.”

Yachty said he expected his artists to make their mark within the next 12 months and reach “mogul” status within the next five years.

“That’s more than enough time,” he continued. “You could say one year from now. But five or 10 years from now? That’s much more time than any artist needs to become successful. I want to make sure I say that. With today’s time, and internet [platforms], six months is all you need. But in five years, I plan to have four moguls, doing their own things, starting their own labels.”

You can stream It’s Us, Vol. 1 now on Apple Music and Spotify.
