EST Gee "Bigger Than The Devil" Album Drops September 11

EST Gee is releasing his new album Bigger Than The Devil as a full-length on September 11 via CMG and Interscope Records. To mark the announcement, he dropped two singles on August 28: "Ya Digg" featuring SkiMike and "You Know It" featuring 86Snot, EST Spit and EST4Nikk. Both tracks are out now across streaming platforms.

What Is on "Ya Digg" and "You Know It"

"Ya Digg" is built on trumpets and heavy bass. EST Gee takes the lead verse before SkiMike joins him on a track the release describes as centered on earned authority. A music video for "Ya Digg" is also out now on YouTube.

"You Know It" has a colder tone. EST Gee brings three collaborators from his circle: 86Snot, EST Spit and EST4Nikk. The four split rapid-fire verses on a record the release says addresses loyalty, authenticity and betrayal. No outside guests appear on the track, which makes it a deliberate move to platform his own people rather than reach for a marquee name.

Two earlier singles will also appear on Bigger Than The Devil: "Sometimes" and "Call Spitta," which came out in July. Tracks "Supreme Sanders" and "Thug Club" are confirmed for the tracklist as well, giving the album at least six known songs before the release date.

EST Gee's Catalog and How This Album Connects

Est Gee has been one of the more consistently active artists in Southern rap over the last five years. He broke out with the 2021 tape Bigger Than Life or Death, which landed at No. 7 on the Billboard 200 and hit No. 1 on Apple Music's all-genre chart, according to the release. That same year he appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! alongside Jack Harlow and received mentions in The New York Times year-end best albums list and Rolling Stone's Breakthrough 25 chart.

He signed to CMG in 2022 and released his debut studio album I Never Felt Nun, which featured Future and Jack Harlow and reached No. 8 on the Billboard 200, per the release. He and 42 Dugg also put out the joint mixtape Last Ones Left that same year, which also charted in the top 10.

In 2023 he released two mixtapes: MAD and EL TORO 2, and appeared on CMG's Gangsta Art 2 compilation alongside Moneybagg Yo, 42 Dugg, GloRilla, Mozzy and Yo Gotti.

His 2025 started with I Ain't Feeling You, which included "My Love" featuring Veeze and Rylo Rodriguez and "Houstonatlantaville" featuring Lil Baby and Travis Scott. He also dropped My World, a 14-song set with Yo Gotti as the only guest. That project received coverage from XXL, NPR, Okayplayer, VIBE and HNHH, according to the release.

More recently he collaborated with CMG affiliate 42 Dugg on "No Fakin" and with Mozzy on the project NOT A CHANCE IN HELL.

Bigger Than The Devil is the follow-up to all of that. The title carries an obvious connection to his 2021 breakthrough Bigger Than Life or Death, though the release does not explicitly frame it as a sequel.

What Independent Artists Can Take From This Rollout

The structure of this campaign is worth studying. EST Gee is releasing known album tracks in batches across several months before the drop date, each one building a confirmed tracklist rather than keeping everything secret until release day. "You Know It" in particular shows a specific choice: instead of stacking the record with recognizable names, he gave the feature slots to artists in his immediate circle. That kind of move builds loyalty within a crew and gives collaborators real visibility. If you are an independent artist managing your own rollout, that math works at any level. Dropping with your own people costs nothing extra and builds community. You can [submit your own releases to Something Dope here](/submit).

Bigger Than The Devil is out September 11 via CMG/Interscope Records. Pre-save links are live now.
