Recently Southern fried rapper Fat Mack emerged with a single and video for his song “Fresh Out The Trap” produced by NFL Big Boyy.

Fighting court cases and the general struggle that results from trying to make it out of a small southern town in Mississippi, Fat Mack has put all of the struggles behind him with his new single that’s shining a bright light back on the Magnolia State.

“The last five six years I’ve just been going through a lot of trials so it slowed me down from doing a lot of music, I had a lil incident and it wasn’t nothing major, but the rap music scene isn’t a huge thing where I’m from. We got a few guys that do music but we don’t have a big scene in Meridian, Mississippi. The Jazz and Blues are big here, but outside of Meridian, Jackson is the next biggest scene. We don’t have a lot of major artists besides big K.R.I.T.. We got Rae Sremmurd from Tupelo, David Banner is from Jackson, but I’ve just been working on my craft the last few years so I can achieve my goals and follow in their footsteps with my own sound.”

With songs like “Missing You” and “Make It Look Easy,” Fat Mack has a host of friends, family and fans that have jumped on the bandwagon expecting him to be next up in Mississippi.

Having worked with Twisted Genius who is also from Meridian and is currently signed to Quality Control, Fat Mack has the sounds that can easily make people move from the streets to the clubs.

Gearing up for the release of his album, Wanna Be Rapper, Fat Mack is just preparing for his EP and his chance to shine.

“Its just a timing thing with everything that I’ve been going through. There is so much other shit that people are pressing me to do, so I’m ready to spread my wings and work with some of the biggest rappers and producers in the game,” Fat Mack said. “Honestly for the last year we’ve just been recording heavy and getting the content togethe so that I can start the year super strong with content. We just want to network and get a few features and just gearing up for next year so that we can hit them hard.”

Being from a small town in Mississippi, outsiders aren’t aware of the style and swagger that people from Mississippi exude, its not all cotton fields and country out there.

“It’s crazy when you come from a small town people think that we from Mississippi so we can’t get gear and carry ourselves. People think we are from Detroit or Chicago when they see us, it’s not as country as people think. We are the heart of music out here with jazz and blues and we got our own sound,” Fat Mack explained.

“My whole thing its that when you come from Mississippi a lot of people tend to sound like somewhere else. Like Memphis or ATL or New Orleans or Texas. But we got our own sound. I don’t sound like nobody. We don’t have our own identity out here so I got my sound and I don’t want to sound like anyone else. We don’t have a scene so sometimes people may lean to try to create music from those areas and that’s why I just want to keep my authenticity and make music that I’m proud of from here. I’m gonna let the music speak for itself cause we got a bunch of dope people from out there, a lot of people don’t even know the influence that we have.”

Lu’ (@ottawasveryown) is back with another one! He has been shaking things up in the music scene since his ground-breaking debut “FEVA,” released earlier in February this year. Now, he returns with another highly-anticipated single, “Over,” out now. This offering is accompanied with a music video & solidifies Lu’s mark in the music game with his captivating storytelling and infectious sound.

“Over” is another compelling feel good single that highlights Lu’s artistic identity and capability. “Over evokes pure enjoyment and immaculate summer vibes,” he says. He invites listeners into an irresistible musical experience through the Afrobeats sound. Drawing inspiration from English and French-speaking artists, as well as Congolese artists, he sets himself apart from the industry as a multilingual artist. The accompanying music video was shot in Lagos, Nigeria and offers a setting of African greatness, luxury, and an overall great time.

Originally hailing from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, and now making waves in Phoenix, Arizona, Lu’ is a renowned Arizona Cardinals linebacker who made his musical debut earlier this year with his debut single, “FEVA.” Fighting the notion of “shut up and dribble,” Lu’ has shown that he’s far more multifaceted than just an average athlete. He shares, “The narrative of ‘shut up and dribble’ is one I’ve fought internally for a very long time. I want my audience to grasp how passionate I am about chasing my wildest dreams. You can’t let another person tell you, your dreams are too far unattainable.” Lu’ has been able to perfectly parallel his passion and dedication of being a talented athlete as well as a talented artist.

It’s worth noting that Lu’ is a definite powerhouse to keep an eye on as he continues to break barriers in both sports and music. His transition from sports to music is a prominent testament to him embracing his versatility, following his dreams, and reaching new heights. The unfolding musical journey of this rising Canadian artist is a must see.
