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.
