This New Orleans Rapper Has Been Slept On For Years, But He’s Here To Wake Everyone Up: Meet YR Butta

New Orleans has always been a city that breeds musical greatness — from the raw street tales of the Magnolia to the bounce beats that keep the culture alive. Yet, one artist who’s been putting in the work for years and is finally demanding the spotlight is YR Butta.

For those who have been paying attention, YR Butta isn’t new to the grind. He’s been building his name brick by brick, earning respect in the streets and the industry alike. Featured on major platforms like Say Cheese and more, Butta’s name has been circulating in the underground scene for quite some time. His hunger, consistency, and authenticity have made him one of New Orleans’ most slept-on rappers — but that narrative is changing fast.

Before the current wave, YR Butta even linked up with YFN Lucci for a track back in the day, proving that his talent has long been recognized by those in the game. That collaboration was a glimpse of what he’s capable of — blending street wisdom, Southern grit, and a smooth flow that keeps listeners locked in.

Now, YR Butta is back and louder than ever with his brand-new video “Take Off Tha Plates.” The title alone says a lot — a street-coded metaphor about being ready to move smart and stay low when it’s time to handle business. The record is bold, gritty, and unapologetically New Orleans, giving fans a reminder of why YR Butta can’t be ignored any longer.

With sharp visuals, street storytelling, and undeniable charisma, “Take Off Tha Plates” feels like a statement — YR Butta isn’t waiting for recognition anymore, he’s taking it. His sound represents the new wave of NOLA rap — authentic, raw, and unfiltered.

If he keeps this momentum and stays consistent, YR Butta has all the tools to be the next big name to come out of New Orleans. The grind, the story, and the talent are all there — it’s only a matter of time before the rest of the world catches up.
