Independent hip-hop artist 36 Mudd has surprised fans with the unexpected early release of his new album, Tasha Taray Son. Originally scheduled to arrive on the 12th of this month, the 21-track project was released ahead of schedule, creating excitement among listeners and serving as what many see as an early birthday gift to his mother, the inspiration behind the album’s title.
At a time when many albums feature only a handful of songs, Tasha Taray Son stands out with an ambitious 21-track lineup, giving fans a deeper look into 36 Mudd’s personal journey, musical growth, and unwavering commitment to authenticity.
A Project Rooted in Family
More than just another album release, Tasha Taray Son reflects the people who have shaped 36 Mudd’s life.
During a recent interview, the artist explained that his greatest motivation comes from family. He credited his children, his partner, his mother, his cousins, his late brother Folkz36 (Terrell Johnson), his late uncle Johnny Lee Posey Jr. (Big Boss), and fellow musicians PGM Dboy and DG Magician for helping him stay focused, especially after the loss of his brother.
That sense of loyalty and perseverance runs throughout the project, making the album as much a personal statement as it is a musical release.
Building Momentum Across the Country
The surprise release arrives as 36 Mudd continues expanding his audience across multiple states.
Support for his music continues to grow in Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana, Georgia, New York, Texas, Minnesota, California, and beyond. While Cairo remains his strongest streaming market, Memphis has become another major source of support, and his current hometown of Chicago is steadily embracing his music.
The growing reach of his fan base reflects the consistent momentum he has built as an independent artist determined to connect with listeners through honest storytelling and authentic experiences.
A Career Focused on Growth
With Tasha Taray Son, 36 Mudd continues proving that independent artists can create substantial, meaningful projects without compromising their vision.
The album showcases his dedication to delivering a complete listening experience while honoring the people who have remained beside him throughout every stage of his journey.
As his audience continues expanding across the United States, the project represents another important milestone in a career built on resilience, consistency, and genuine connection with fans.
A Message From Son to Mother
Before concluding his recent interview, 36 Mudd was asked what he wanted to say to his mother, whose name inspired the album.
His response captured the emotion behind the project:
“Mama, you’re the real deal foundation. You turned sacrifice into strength, grind into grace, and made sure you loved me unconditionally… from me being in the streets and actin like I didn’t have a mama who loved me…. And the whole world know I love you mama.”
With Tasha Taray Son now available on all major streaming platforms, we invite listeners to experience an album rooted in family, perseverance, and gratitude while continuing his journey toward reaching audiences around the world.
