“Swear”, the new track from J.K. Mac feat. YoungBoy Never Broke Again drops on Wednesday, March 20th. Mark the occasion by grabbing a Mystery Box to win phenomenal J.K. Mac and YoungBoy NBA prizes.
Two Unique Voices, One Powerful Track
We’re proud to announce we’re the brand new track from the inspired up-and-comer J.K. Mac ft. YoungBoy Never Broke Again: “Swear”. The hook – ‘Wallahi’, ‘I swear’ in Arabic – sets the tone for a track that’s a bold declaration of the spirit.
A collision of Mac’s boundary-pushing production and lyrical depth and the deep melodic vocals of YoungBoy NBA, “Swear” deserves its place as one of the most exciting drops in this year’s roster of track releases. Back to back in the booth for the first time ever, we can only assume this will be the first of many Gala Music drops from each artist.
As a proud landmark for discovering and lifting up the industry’s hottest emerging talent, we’re releasing “Swear” exclusively for a limited time of 30 days.
We’re celebrating this iconic collaboration by giving you the chance to win some unique, money-can’t-buy prizes from J.K. Mac and YoungBoy NBA themselves. We’re talking exclusive behind-the-scenes content, bespoke merch and much, much more. Mystery Boxes are just one of the opportunities on Gala Music to get even closer to the music you love and support your favorite artists directly.
For your chance to win, cop a Mystery Box and lift the lid on this phenomenal collection of prizes. Grab yours from Gala Music for $9.99.
“Swear” is bolstered by an official music video which is cinematic in its scope and isn’t afraid to portray the song’s evocative narrative with realism and authenticity. Featuring both artists, it’s a visual dedication to graft, remembering your roots, and the power you can create from combining immense talent with hard work. Both compelling and unflinching, it serves as an inspiration to everyone out there on a mission to serve their purpose and work their way to the top of their game.
The Come Up
Hailing from Montgomery, Alabama, J.K. Mac is captivating music fans and the industry alike with his chameleon-like flair for switching up genres; from the infectious sleeper hit “No Love” to the melodic introspection of “Kale”. One listen to his diverse discography tells you all you need to know: you can’t predict what he’s going to do next, which is why the world can’t help but keep coming back for more.
YoungBoy NBA’s Hot Streak Continues
Incredibly prolific and adored for his uncompromising lyricism combined with innate melodic richness, YoungBoy Never Broke Again burst onto the scene in 2015 and quickly became known as one of his generation’s most poignant musicians and storytellers.
A regular staple on the Billboard charts, his 2018 debut album, Until Death Call My Name, notched its place as a Top Ten of the Billboard 200, swiftly followed by chart-topping mixtape AI YoungBoy 2. His features read like a who’s who of the rap game, boasting collaborations with the likes of Future, Lil Baby, Snoop Dogg, Lil Wayne, Rich the Kid, Nicki Minaj, Post Malone and Birdman.

That’s why we’re thrilled to announce Snoop Dogg as one of the judges for GALAthon, the upcoming GalaChain Hackathon during GDC 2024!
A true renaissance man, Snoop Dogg spent decades weaving his legacy into the fabric of music and entertainment. He was an early adopter of web3 entertainment, always working at the cutting edge of blockchain technology.

Snoop Dogg is synonymous with musical innovation and cultural influence the world over. He has grown beyond even his role as a global superstar over the past few years to become a key figure in the web3 space.
His collaboration with us on Gala Music wasn’t his only foray into the world of web3, but it definitely spotlighted his versatility and highlighted his genuine interest and belief in the power of blockchain technology. His journey into this new frontier is marked by an enthusiastic embrace of NFTs and virtual experiences. Snoop is someone who understands the broader scope and potential influence of decentralized technology.
A Unique View on Innovation
Snoop Dogg’s involvement in web3 goes beyond mere participation – he has actively shaped the conversation around entertainment, art, and technology. His approach to innovations in the web3 world is characterized by a blend of creativity, community engagement and a unique sense of what captures the imagination of real people.
For the GalaChain Hackathon, Snoop’s criteria for a winning entry are likely to reflect these values.
The Next Big Thing
In a winning GalaChain Hackathon project, Snoop Dogg would likely be searching for innovation that transcends traditional boundaries between art and tech. He would appreciate projects that not only demonstrate technical proficiency and utility but also embody a strong sense of community and entertainment value. An ideal project might leverage GalaChain’s capabilities to offer immersive experiences. Perhaps it will integrate music, virtual spaces and social engagement in ways that we haven’t ever seen.
The Snoop Dogg Stamp of Approval
Winning over Snoop Dogg as a judge means impressing him with creativity, usability and perhaps most importantly, the fun factor. He knows the importance of delighting and engaging an audience, so projects that can capture the imagination while pushing the envelope of what’s possible within web3 will definitely stand out.
Think bold, think disruptive… and most of all, think about how to bring joy and connectivity to the community.

Billyracxx is redefining the boundaries of music and visual artistry with his innovative tracks and dynamic visual productions. This Houston rapper continuously sets new standards, crafting visually captivating and forward-thinking music videos that perfectly complement his avant-garde musical style.
Taking charge as both the writer and creative director of his ventures, Billyracxx’s solo creation, the album “Religion” (2019), showcased his ability to conceive and pen an entire project. The album, featuring eight tracks produced by ChaseTheMoney—who has worked with Yeat, G Herbo, J. Cole, and Chance The Rapper—cemented his status in the industry.
Billyracxx broadened his international reach with the 2021 release of “Creature,” a collaboration with platinum Russian producer WhitePunk, paving his way into the European music scene. The following year, his “Creature” persona inspired the “Creatures” NFT collection. Currently on the lineup for performances at Rolling Loud and the Wireless festival in the UK, Billyracxx’s “Seeing Red” mixtape is gaining traction on TikTok, alongside his buzzworthy Rolling Loud LA 2023 appearance. His work has earned the endorsement of DJ Semtex, one of the UK’s most iconic DJs.
“Aliens Cry” is the first of six freestyles under the same banner, showcasing a collaboration with producers such as LaynoProd, AGkeyz, SaamP & Charlie Johnstone, Roy Smith, and SgKidHazel – the talent behind 21 Savage’s “I AM I WAS.” This release marks Billyracxx’s debut on Gala Music, bringing his unique blend of music to our decentralized platform designed to empower artists like him.
Billyracxx is not just a rapper; he’s a phenomenon. His music transcends ordinary genre labels, weaving narratives that pull listeners into an otherworldly experience. With “Aliens Cry,” he continues to challenge expectations, blending aggressive beats with introspective lyrics to explore the dualities within us all.

With an impressive 18-year journey through the realms of Hip Hop, Rap, R&B, Pop, Rock, and Alternative music, Bingx has masterfully crafted over 2,000 songs, showcasing unparalleled versatility and an intense passion for music. As Bingx himself puts it, “Music is and has always been my soul. Without music, life would have less purpose.” This sentiment resonates deeply with Gala Music’s mission to empower artists and listeners alike, creating a space where music truly sets the soul free. We think Chan will find himself right at home in web3 with Gala Music.
This Friday, March 15th, at 1pm PT, we’re excited to drop Bingx’s NFT debut, “Conversations After Midnight.” This track is a testament to Bingx’s multifaceted talent. In addition to being a performing artist, Chan also served as producer alongside the Emmy nominated Rod The Producer. “Conversations After Midnight” is a harmonious blend of catchy melodies and witty, conversational raps that fans of Drake, and indeed all listeners, will find themselves gravitating towards.

Bingx, born Chanler Hendrickson in Seattle in 1990, grew up deeply influenced by the lyrical complexity of hip-hop and the raw emotion of grunge. His music beautifully bridges these two worlds, drawing inspiration from icons ranging from 50 Cent to Third Eye Blind. Bingx’s diverse influences and innovative sound make him a perfect fit for Gala Music, where breaking boundaries and exploring new horizons in music is celebrated.
