2BYG: The I Want You visualizer is pure R&B happiness
I love all types of hard-hitting fire but when you have summer love season on deck, how can you overlook some major positive vibes courtesy of 2BYG coming through with their ‘I Want You’ visual gem?
Not quite a music video but a solid visualizer? Oh yes. Completely embrace the glowing.
Gaining palpable momentum, rising Texas R&B quartet 2BYGare 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

2BYG combines four talents, minds, and hearts into one bold, bright, and blockbuster version of what R&B can be in 2025. The group has already begun to blow up out of Dallas, TX, on its own terms. Matt Brown, Nixx, and Tourè initially met at a performing arts high school, bonding over “the classics” and a shared passion for performing and singing. They later welcomed KD after catching him at a local talent show. Joining forces, they lit up social media with knockout covers of H.E.R., New Edition, Mint Condition, and more. Blown away, Def Jam Recordings signed 2BYG. They hit the studio and cultivated a slick signature style, merging R&B, soul, hip-hop, pop, and gospel. With millions of followers already, they made their introduction in 2025 with the single “Karma” and more to come.
