Some songs don’t just hit, they rumble through the ground beneath you. Rising Texas rapper and rap-world architect Yakiyn storms back today with Put Dem Boys To Sleep, a hypnotic flex anthem layered with syrup-thick beats and a swagger that’s all his own. Produced by Trey Kams, the single unfolds with pitched-down vocals, eerie ad libs, and Southern grit, putting Yakiyn’s quotable bars and sticky drawl front and center. This track is another piece of Yakiyn’s broader vision, one unfolding step by step. Rolling through verses with the confidence, he raps:
Bankroll on me, look like I got thigh pads / Yakiyn, he so damn fly, ‘Boy, where’d you buy that?’
The black-and-white visual, co-directed by Yakiyn with Cordell Jomha, turns Dallas into a canvas for cool. The camera trails him from barber shops to hotel rooms, gas stations to the base of a water tower, every location transformed into a high-class, down-home celebration of wealth, women, and self-expression. Along the way, Texas soul star Leon Bridges makes a surprise cameo, dancing behind Yakiyn in one of the video’s standout moments. The clip closes with a teaser of TOP TIER, another unreleased heater, hinting at what’s still to come. Let us know your thoughts on the official video below to “PTBTS.” Keep watch as Yakiyn sets the stage for a breakout era on Instagram, Tik Tok, and YouTube.
