Yo Gotti's upcoming studio album The Art of Hustle was originally promised for release today, Nov. 11, but if that does not end up happening, at least we have a new leak from the album, appropriately titled "11/11," which you can check out below. The Infamous-produced song features an eerie beat reminiscent of minimalist composers such as Philip Glass or Steve Reich, so this does not quite sound like your typical hip-hop track.

The Art of Hustle will be Yo Gotti's seventh studio album overall, his first since 2013's I Am. Prior to "11/11," two other songs have also been shared from the album: "Errbody" and "I Feel Like" featuring Lil Boosie.
In 2014, Gotti has appeared on Hustle Gang's G.D.O.D. II mixtape, The Game's Blood Moon: Year of the Wolf album and 50 Cent's Animal Ambition album.
In an interview with Hip-Hop DX, Gotti explained how The Art of Hustle is inspired by Sun Tzu's book The Art of War, saying that the book provides "rules and strategies and laws and different things to be a successful hustler."
"It's more than just waking up and thinking you want to get some money or thinking you want to be successful," he continued. "What are you actually doing to make yourself successful? What steps are you taking? What strategies are you doing? What laws are you living by?"
"This whole Art of Hustle album gives you my rules and strategies to hustling," Gotti went on to explain, "but it's really giving you my life story, going deeper into it to show you where I come from, how I got to be this person I'm meant to be, what my family has been through."
