Drumma Boy has revealed that he and Gangsta Boo‘s team are working to figure out “the best way” to make new music by the late rapper available to the public.

Filmed in Memphis last December, the clip would be Boo’s final appearance in a video ahead of her untimely death on January 1.
Pulled from Drumma Boy’s November 2022 release Welcome To My City, Vol. 4, the track finds her in rare form delivering the high energy middle verse.
Speaking to HipHopDX about the new release, Drumma confirmed that fans can expect to hear more new music from his close friend in the coming months. “We got plenty of new songs with Boo stashed,” he said. “We are figuring out the best way to deliver.”
Featuring appearances by Young Dolph, Jucee Froot and Jessica Dime, Drumma Boy compiled Welcome To My City, Vol. 4 in his latest effort to spotlight up-and-coming talent from his hometown of Memphis. Including Gangsta Boo, with whom he had a longstanding personal and professional relationship, which was a no brainer, he explained.

“I got on in Atlanta ’cause of Gangsta Boo braggin’ on me like, ‘Man, I got the hottest producer in Memphis!’,” he recounted. “Pastor Troy heard about me, Block Ent. heard about me. So, if it wasn’t for Gangsta Boo while she was in Atlanta working with Three 6 Mafia and Outkast … She had just did a feature with Outkast and then called me on the phone like, ‘Man look: you need to fuck with my n-gga Drumma!’ That’s how I met Big Boi, that’s how I met 3000.”
In addition to working on several project with Gangsta Boo, Drumma Boy would go on to work with Atlanta rap luminaries including 2 Chainz, Gucci Mane, Jeezy and Shawty Lo, to name but a few; as well as other Hip Hop A-listers including Memphis stars like Dolph and Yo Gotti.
