A slick-talking Southerner with charisma for days, YTB Fatt is quickly becoming one of the biggest rising stars in his region. Rewarding his fans for rocking with him, the West Memphis, AR native shares Who Is Fatt (Extended Clip), an expansion of his debut mixtape. Reverberating with the thumping bass that defines rap music from his neighboring Memphis, TN, Who Is Fatt paints a picture of YTB Fatt’s past life in his hometown and his efforts to scheme his way out of poverty by any means necessary. The expanded version of the tape adds three songs to the mix: the self-explanatory title track “Who Is Fatt,” bite-sized, sports-themed banger “Championship,” and the scorching “Ion Apologize.“
Released last week, Who Is Fatt is already charting on Billboard and Apple Music, reaching #5 on Billboard’s Heatseekers Albums and currently sitting at #12 on Apple Music’s All-Genre Album Chart and at #6 on Apple Music’s Hip-Hop Albums Chart. Home to the street hits “Get Back,” “Calm It Down” (4.7 million total streams, gaining at 200k per day), and the Pitchfork-praised “Poppin It Hard,” plus guest appearances from Rob49 (on “Bet I Whip It,” 1.3 million views), Big Homiie G (on recent single “Us”) and FTO Sett, Who Is Fatt is available everywhere via Loaf Boyz Ventures / 10K Projects.
Who Is Fatt is the first full-length project from YTB Fatt, who has been rising steadily in the Dirty South since the beginning of the year. Born and raised in West Memphis, Arkansas, just across the Mississippi from the Tennessee rap hotbed, YTB Fatt caught the attention of an impressed Moneybagg Yo with songs like “Played Out” and “Don’t Crash.” Moneybagg Yo quickly signed Fatt to his Bread Gang label, collaborating with Fatt on the hit “Shot Off Gumbo” (5+ million YouTube views) and connecting Fatt with Lil Durk on “Rock Out”–both of Yo and Fatt’s collaborations appeared on the Memphis rapper’s Hard To Love album. Since then, Fatt has continued to drop more street hits, including “Get Back,” which boasts over 4.6M YouTube views, and recent single “Us” ft. Big Homiie G (1.1 million views), racking up over 60 million streams across platforms on his catalog in just a few short months. Fatt is currently supporting Moneybagg Yo on his “Larger Than Life Tour,” criss-crossing the country until September 26th.
With his debut mixtape under his belt, Fatt is tirelessly working to reach the top of the rap game. Stay tuned for much more.
