Joey Bandz and Tyte Celebrate Confidence on New Southern Soul Single “Wide Load”

Wellord, South Carolina artist Joey Bandz is bringing fun, confidence, and Southern flavor together on his new single “Wide Load,” featuring Tyte. Released September 21, 2026 through LonerLife Entertainment, the track blends Southern soul with rap while delivering an energetic anthem created for women to embrace their curves and enjoy themselves.

Produced by D1 Drummin and engineered by Henry Hill, “Wide Load” reflects Joey Bandz’s growing presence within the Southern soul scene. His motivation behind the song was simple: create something that makes women feel confident while giving listeners a record they can dance to, sing along with, and enjoy.

That vision is already connecting with audiences. Line dancers have created a dance inspired by “Wide Load,” helping the song gain additional momentum online. For Joey Bandz, watching listeners interact with his music is one of the most rewarding parts of his journey.

The song’s memorable hook also highlights the chemistry between Joey Bandz and Tyte, particularly during the closing portion where the pair stretch out the phrase, “wide load,” giving the record an instantly recognizable moment.

Joey Bandz has spent the past year performing across the Southeast, bringing songs including “Swang It,” “Dat Likka Made Me Do It,” and “Auntie Knees Still Good” to new audiences. As a content creator with a strong interest in marketing, he understands the importance of pairing memorable music with consistent promotion and audience engagement.

His next performance is scheduled for October 10 in Ware Shoals, South Carolina, as he continues working to shine a brighter spotlight on Southern soul music coming out of South Carolina.
