DG Yola is most known for his 2006 anthem "Ain't Gon Let Up," but his career was sidelined after he was shot in the jaw, then caught a shooting charge of his own. The rapper recently returned to hip-hop, dropping a greatest hits compilation and then, last week, a new mixtape entitled Mr. Broke Da Knob. "Yall on Blast," with its stop-start Midnight Black production, highlights Yola's vocal performance, which has the immediacy of Lil Boosie but a style all his own.
