YG Kayboe – “By The Way”
YG Kayboe‘s Memphis snarl cuts through his latest track, “By The Way,” proving himself to be anything but passive on his run of successful singles.
“By the Way” has the hallmarks of a modern southern hit, much like the heat that bigxthaplug is putting out right now. YG’s relentless, baritone flow is as tight as the bass that punctuates the track. Production is built around a twangy guitar groove, banging drums, and sprinkled vocal samples, and the beat is dragged underwater throughout the track, gaining and losing texture during different sections. And YG’s “By The Way” hook gives a theme to the entire track that makes the lyrics memorable out the gate. Roll down the windows and turn the bass up and rap along.
If you wanna see YG in action, give him a look on YouTube. You can find “By the Way” and more on our “Best of 2026 Hip Hop” playlist on Spotify – and while you’re there you can check out his full catalogue of releases.
