DaBaby is not letting this record cool off. “Pop Dat Thang” was already moving, and now the remix pushes it further into full takeover territory. The Charlotte rapper has released “Pop Dat Thang (Remix),” bringing in GloRilla, Yung Miami, and rising Atlanta artist YKNIECE for a version that feels bigger, louder, and more strategically stacked.
The timing is not random. The original track just hit No. 1 at Urban Radio, and the remix lands at the exact moment the record is peaking. Instead of letting momentum plateau, DaBaby expands the track’s reach by pulling in three distinct voices who each shift the energy without breaking the formula.
GloRilla comes in with the kind of urgency that has defined her rise, cutting through the beat with a direct, high-impact delivery. Yung Miami adds a controlled, confident presence that keeps the record grounded in mainstream appeal, while YKNIECE brings a newer perspective that signals where the sound is moving next. It is less about reinvention and more about amplification.
Chart-wise, the numbers are already doing the work. Beyond the Urban Radio No. 1, “Pop Dat Thang” continues to climb across Billboard, holding positions across the Hot 100, Rap Airplay, and R&B/Hip-Hop categories. It is one of those records that lives everywhere at once, radio, clubs, playlists, and short-form video, which is exactly what a remix like this is built to extend.
The track anchors DaBaby’s latest album Be More Grateful, a project that mixes his usual high-energy output with moments that lean more personal. That duality has been part of his recent positioning, balancing the expectation of hits with a broader narrative around growth and longevity.
Outside the music itself, DaBaby is still moving aggressively on the live side. His current Be More Grateful tour continues to hit packed rooms across the country, while his upcoming Charlotte festival adds another layer to his hometown presence.
“Pop Dat Thang (Remix)” is not a reset. It is a pressure move. The kind that keeps a hit from fading and turns it into something harder to ignore.
