From Da Dope Game 2 Da Rap Game (2000), Self-Explanitory (2001), Life (2003) and Back 2 Da Basics (2006) Yo Gotti became very well known in Memphis after the release of his album Life. The song “Dirty South Soldiers” featuring Lil’ Jon propelled Gotti into the higher ranks of Memphis rappers. The albumBack 2 da Basics had even more success. The singles “I Got ‘Em”, “Full Time”, “Shawty”, and “Gangsta Party” featuring 8Ball and Bun B solidified his status as one of the top rappers from the city.

Yo Gotti’s first studio album is called Live From The Kitchen. The album’s original first single was titled “”5 star”” and it was released on May 20, 2009. The single peaked at 79 on the Hot 100, 19 on U.S R&B and 11 on U.S Rap. “Women Lie,Men Lie” featuring Lil’ Wayne was the second official single released December 11, 2009.

In 2012 he released 7th version of his well known mixtape series Cocaine Muzik entitled Cocaine Muzik 7: The World Is Yours.
