Tee Grizzley Announces New Album THEY FORGOT, Shares BACK INA YAMS Video
The Detroit rapper's new single follows his release NO EFFORT 2, a sequel to his 2017 hit NO EFFORT.
Detroit rapper Tee Grizzley has announced his new studio album, THEY FORGOT, arriving September 25th. The album's pre-order is now live across all digital platforms.
The premise of the album is embedded directly in its title: a hard-hitting, uncompromising reminder to critics, the industry, and listeners nationwide who may have forgotten the sheer depth of Grizzley's pen, his elite lyrical craftsmanship, and the raw storytelling ability that established him as one of hip-hop's most formidable forces.
Accompanying the pre-order launch is Grizzley's brand-new single, 'Back Ina Yams,' out now alongside its official music video. Packed with relentless flow and signature Motor City grit, 'Back Ina Yams' serves as a preview of what is to come on the upcoming project.
'Back Ina Yams' follows on the heels of Grizzley's recent release 'No Effort 2,' the official sequel to his 2017 hit 'No Effort.' The track drew praise for returning to the unvarnished, high-intensity sound and sharp lyrical precision that launched his career. Together, these releases set the tone for an album built on technical mastery, hunger, and undeniable authority.
This creative milestone also comes alongside personal news: a Michigan judge recently granted the full expungement of Tee Grizzley's criminal record. This legal victory marks a new chapter of personal freedom and artistic growth as he prepares to release one of the most pivotal projects of his career.
