Clown You When You're Down

Tony Yayo

<p>It&#8217;s been a minute since <a href="/profile/TonyYayo" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Tony Yayo</a> gave his fans any solo music, but this weekend, the <a href="/profile/G-Unit" class="text-word" target="_blank" >G-Unit</a> rapper surprised the masses with a new single. As he prepares for his next album, <em>The Loyal</em>, the long-time lyricist is reminding the world that he&#8217;s still got it on &#8220;Clown You When You&#8217;re Down.&#8221;</p>



<p>The release comes in at just over two minutes and finds the 44-year-old laying down bars over a style of production that&#8217;s unusually different for him. The accompanying visual sees the artist enjoying the crisp winter weather while cruising on a snowmobile. In a recent Instagram post, Yayo reveals he took a trip to Thunderbay, Ontario in Canada for filming.</p>

<p>&#8220;Out here snowmobiling in a MINK @DarucciLeather. Where they do that at?&#8221; the &#8220;So Seductive&#8221; hitmaker asked his followers in the caption. &#8220;THUNDER BAY we outside TONIGHT.&#8221; When sharing the post last week, Yayo didn&#8217;t share that it was for a music video, though we now know what he was really getting into during his trip up north.</p>



<p>In another upload, <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/619045-50-cent-says-he-wishes-tony-yayo-blew-up-instead-of-him" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">50 Cent&#8217;s frequent collaborator</a> confirmed that <em>The Loyal</em> will be arriving in the near future. &#8220;DROPPING FEBRUARY SOON,&#8221; he promised readers, though no specific date was given. &#8220;Will be available on all streaming platforms,&#8221; he later added.</p>



<p>At this time, &#8220;Clown You When You&#8217;re Down&#8221; has only made its way onto YouTube, but that hasn&#8217;t stopped fans from listening and praising the rap star. &#8220;Glad Yayo is back, it&#8217;s his time,&#8221; one user wrote in the comments. &#8220;One of the most loyal guys in the game.&#8221;</p>
