Yadda Man Continues Rollout Of ‘Jacket Weather’ Album With Visual For ‘Real Friends’
Yadda Man maintains his stance on his latest LP Jacket Weather by way of the new music video for the album cut “Real Friends.”
Shot live and direct from Yadda’s city of operation, North Omaha, Nebraska to be exact, the Clubhouse Films-directed video depicts views from the streets he grew up on while he narrates a tale of brotherhood.
Yadda Man’s concise 10-track album is truly a lyrical standout and includes collaborations such as he and Chicago MC Mick Jenkins’ retrospective-themed collab “Do You Remember,” and the Dizzy Wright-assisted record “Outta Sight.”
Jacket Weather exudes the genuine originality of Yadda Man’s high-context, Hip Hop-focused mindset, which has led to a productive 2022 release campaign. In addition to releasing the deluxe edition of his fan-favorite project JiMMY, Yadda Man has delivered several standout visuals including the video for his breakout single “Top Tier,” which has amassed well over 15,000 views in mere months.
Jacket Weather also serves as his third joint-effort release between his Off Brand Music Group imprint and former Maybach Music Group artist Stalley’s fledging label Blue Collar Gang. Since as early as 2019, Yadda Man has been locked in with the Stall God as he sharpens his pen in an effort to become a true lyrical assassin.
Since delivering his debut release in 2019, Yadda Man has opened up for artists such as Wocka Flocka, Jarren Benton, and Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, among others. Yadda Man has also received co-signs from artists such as Slim Jxmmi and Kato The Producer and was even offered a spot as an opening act for 2000s Hip Hop legend Afro Man.

Fat Trel Releases New Single “Anything”
Following a well received headlining performance at DMV Summer Jam over the weekend, Washington D.C. wordsmith Fat Trel continues his Boosa’s Keeper campaign by dropping the music video for “Anything.” The HD clip for the Hollywood Bangers‘ produced track finds the green-eyed entrepreneur and his posse enjoying the warm weather as Summer comes to an end. Trel’s latest body of work serves as an homage to slain childhood friend Darrell “Boosa Da Shoota” Marshal and includes guest appearances from IDK, EST Gee, Skilla Baby, Millyz, NSC Kai, and Almighty.
“This album is dedicated to my lil brother Boosa, who passed away when I was locked up. I put a lot of time into this album and was going through a lot while making it. I got sober and went to therapy as well. So you will hear a lot of pain and just a better version of me throughout each song. I’m introducing the world to an older, better, and evolved version of FAT TREL,” the MGE recording artist reveals in a press statement to Medium Creative Agency about the project.
Martrel Reeves PKA Fat Trel was a child far more ambitious and cognizant of his surroundings than the norm. At age seven, he professed ambitions to be a rapper, while peers delivered the proverbial “I have a Dream” Speech about aspirations to be nurses, doctors, lawyers, and fire fighters. As peers sat excited by the endless possibilities of the future, Fat Trel sat perplexed by the harsh realities of DC; the place he called home. Fat Trel exited high school at age 15, caught up in the lure and necessity of street life; a road more traveled when the have-nots impose an immediate call to action. Unconvinced high school education would support his family or cultivate his ambitions, Fat Trel hit the ground running in pursuit of being an emcee and has not stopped running since.
Fat Trel has nurtured and grown his organic storytelling ability with creative word play and pulverizing flow. Taking a raw approach to music, some would say as graphic and grimy as the streets of DC, but equally memorable and captivating nonetheless. He holds no punches and tells each story with such relativity they appear verbatim, in a matter of fact nature, that illustrates he is genuinely home grown and not caught up in the idea of being from the streets.
