GMOB HAMO & YEO Cig Unite for ‘Surf & Turf’: A Collaboration Years in the Making

GMOB HAMO and YEO Cig are set to shake up the game with their highly anticipated joint album, Surf & Turf, dropping April 25th under GMOB Music Group/Swishgang. This project, years in the making, stems from a natural musical chemistry between the two artists, who have long envisioned working together on a full-length tape. Despite the idea lingering for over three years, once they locked in, the album came together in just six days. For GMOB HAMO, this marks his first full-length collaboration and debut album, promising some of his strongest work to date. A two-time Atlanta Hip Hop Award winner with multiple nominations, GMOB HAMO has consistently elevated his craft, and Surf & Turf is set to be a defining moment in his career.

For YEO Cig, this album represents both a return and a reset. After stepping away from social media and the industry to rebuild his foundation, he’s coming back stronger than ever, armed with a catalog of over a thousand songs. Known for his versatility, YEO Cig blends classic hip-hop, Southern rap, house, and alternative sounds, but Surf & Turf is about reconnecting with his roots—bringing back the energy that earned him the hood nickname, “Droopy.” With plans to hit the ground running with videos, shows, and possibly a tour, both artists are focused on heating up their city before expanding nationwide. As YEO Cig puts it, “They always Whale Watch, so it’s time for the whales to be heard.” Surf & Turf isn’t just an album, it’s a moment.
