Lil Zay Osama is gearing up for the release of his final drill mixtape, The YN Tape, marking a pivotal moment in his career. Ahead of the project, the RIAA Gold-certified rapper teams with visionary director DGainz for the video “Dog Sh*t Records,” a raw reminder of his signature grit, melodic drill flow, and unfiltered storytelling.
Now based in Los Angeles, Zay captures the city’s energy in his latest visuals while showcasing the maturity and creative chemistry he shares with DGainz. The two have previously worked together on fan favorites “Ones I Love,” “Fresh Out The Fedz,” and “My Lil Sht,” making “Dog Sht Records” another highlight in their ongoing collaboration.
The track takes aim at fake personas, Instagram illusions, and the constant chase for clout. “Everybody wanna have dog shit,” Zay explains, calling out those who appear “rich online but broke in real life.”
Fresh off his departure from Warner Music, Lil Zay Osama is now fully independent, navigating both his artistic freedom and his personal comeback after legal battles and a recent federal release. His interview with No Jumper earlier this year set the tone for this new chapter.
Zay’s previous EP, The Streets Calling My Name, Pt. 2, showcased his evolving perspective with breakout singles like “Hood Cry,” “Lost Somebody,” and “Bad Boy.” With The YN Tape on the horizon, Lil Zay Osama is closing the book on drill while reinforcing his legacy as one of the subgenre’s melodic innovators.
