The Memphis MC recorded too much material for just one project.

As he announced his next mixtape Hard To Love: Heartless Edition, maybe some Moneybagg Yo fans missed an even bigger announcement. Not only is that project dropping on May 26, but he has another album on the way, as well. "When I looked at all the songs I had made during that period, it was wayyy too many to be considered one album," he wrote in Hard To Love's reveal statement. "So that's when I decided to drop a Tape and [an] Album." While we still don't know when that album will be coming this year, at least the hype is there.

Unfortunately, these new drops came after a heavy and hard time for the 31-year-old. "While I was wrapping up the album I was hit with a tragedy that will affect my kids and me forever," Moneybagg Yo wrote in his statement. "Stack that on top of losing Nuskie my right hand man to the streets. Then my left hand man to the Feds, it was loss after loss in my eyes. While the rest of the world was still moving on, they still wanted shows, features, and music. Regardless of what I'm going through personally."

Still, the "Motion God" rhymer is keeping his head up amid the storm. In his statement, he spoke on the meaning of his next mixtape Hard To Love. "When I came up with the title, I was referring to myself," Moneybagg Yo shared. "But when I started working more on the project I realized that it's more than me being hard to love. It's hard to love people because a lot of them don't have good intentions, just want something from u.

"It's hard to love your life when the same people that you sacrifice everything for don't even get to enjoy the rewards with you," he continued. "Through it all my biggest source of strength is my fans. I appreciate all of y'all equally if you got on me from the 1st 'Federal' or 'A Gangsta's Pain'. With all that being said I got a story to tell, not looking for sympathy I just want to be understood." For more news and the latest updates on Moneybagg Yo, come back to HNHH.
