"Errrbody" is a single by American rapper Yo Gotti, released on July 10, 2014, by Epic Records. The song is about Gotti talking about mainstream rappers being similar to one another, and pretending to be who they aren't despite their status. "Errrbody" peaked at numbers 29 and 98 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot 100 charts respectively. It was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), denoting sales of over 500,000 units in the United States. An accompanying music video for the single, directed by Benny Boom, follows a group of suburban kids getting involved with street life and finding it not for them the hard way. An official remix of the song was released in October 2014 and featured Lil Wayne and Ludacris.
