Rising Texas R&B Group 2BYG Return With New Single “I Want You” Today Featuring Biz Markie Sample Of “Make The Music With Your Mouth, Biz”

May 22, 2026 - Gaining palpable momentum, rising Texas R&B quartet 2BYG are back with a brand new single entitled "I Want You" via Waystar Records/Def Jam Recordings. LISTEN HERE. It paves the way for the impending Deluxe version of their fan favorite 2025 debut mixtape, The Yearbook (Extended Version), out June 12, 2026. PRE-ORDER/PRE-SAVE HERE.

"I Want You" notably revolves around a sample from Biz Markie's classic "Make the Music With Your Mouth, Biz." The group pays homage to the legendary late hip-hop pioneer by recharging, refreshing, and reigniting one of his most iconic and instantly recognizable anthems. As such, the track not only bridges styles but also unites two eras of the culture. 2BYG's signature, renowned harmonies take flight over the production, stretching falsetto vocal runs to heavenly heights. Throughout the song, the members' voices practically melt into the instantly irresistible refrain, "I can't let the feeling go, baby, I want you."

Once again, it proves that there's nothing like it when they sing together as one!

Be on the lookout for the premiere of a cinematic music video to accompany the track in the near future.

Regarding "I Want You," the Biz MarkieEstate commented, "It warms my heart to see 2BYG honor Biz Markie on their new track. They're introducing Biz to an entirely new generation, while reinforcing the importance of respect, acknowledgment, and reciprocation in the culture."

- Tara Hall, Widow of Biz Markie
