Marvelous, Yung Gravy's third studio album, arrived in 2022 riding one of the more shameless (and more fun) hooks of the TikTok age. The Rochester, Minnesota rapper, who got his start self-recording tracks for SoundCloud, led the album with "Betty (Get Money)", and the trick was all in the source material: it lifts the synths, melody and chorus of Rick Astley's 1987 song "Never Gonna Give You Up", so much so that Stock, Aitken and Waterman share the writing credit.
The idea came from the publishing side. Primary Wave, which owned part of the Astley song, pitched it to Gravy's camp, a beat showed up a day later, and within two days he'd rapped over it. Nick Seeley, Dillon Francis and Dwilly produced. The video, with Gravy dancing in a white fur coat, did the rest: the song turned up in over 300,000 TikTok videos, and "Betty" is the track from Marvelous that reached the countdowns.
