You Should Know About Fat Trel.

There are few DC artists in my eyes that can maintain clout in their city while at the same time transferring that success nationwide, as far as fitting in this (unnecessarily corny) mainstream music world goes. One of these in my line of vision is Fat Trel. The 20-year-old is a member of Wale‘s recently formed camp/team, The Board Administration, and is a certified goon (what’d I tell you about those face tattoos back in the day!?). He’s about that street $#!t, straight up. But hey, whoever stopped listening to music because they didn’t understand that lifestyle? Nobody! People in the wealthiest neighborhoods across the country can quote lines of some of the most notoriously hood-affiliated artists. That never mattered. My man Thiz said that Caucasians have always dominated hip-hop sales, anyway. All that aside, he just has that winning combination of flow and voice that wins me over, much like how Khalifa Man did for people by the start of this year.

I can’t say that his projects in their entirety impress me all the way yet, because they don’t show that depth that the guy I am today me would appreciate, but sometimes you just need some trunk rattlers to rock with. He does that with the most utmost ease. I don’t know what he’s going for as far as his sound or his career, but I definitely see a lot of potential. That being said, I’ve pulled my favorite joints for you to sample and download. Let me know what you think, and hit Trel on that Twitter Nation (@FatTrel) and do the same.

DOWNLOAD: Fat Trel – Freak A Melody [Editor's Note: Wale dropped a version with him on it, but this joint right here is the original, with just Trel on all verses. I personally prefer this joint because the verses connect better. You'll see what I mean. Oh, and did his producers, Da Bassheads, really just sample "Hannah" by Freelance Whales!? That's like Martha Stewart throwing sets up at a go-go. No joke. It's the equivalent.]

DOWNLOAD: Fat Trel – Trappin’ Like A Fool [Editor's Note: I know you trap music fans remember that awesome Gucci Mane freestyle that dropped on YouTube maybe a year or so ago, where he said he was "trappin' like a fool" and "trappin' like a bitch". Sure, you were confused, but that joint was hot enough to bring back like eight or nine times! He samples that hook, but raps some real sh!t on it.]

DOWNLOAD: Wale – Oh Leh Do It [Flow] [feat. Fat Trel] [Editor's Note: I Think Trel steals the show here. First time I heard him, and I knew it was over from then.]

I hope you listened to all of them in that order, because they’re all ridiculously solid. If Trel does it for you, then go grab that No Secrets mixtape that dropped a while ago. I think whoever put that joint on the internet did a poor job of zipping / labeling the joint, and a lot of computers weren’t able to grab it (plus the tracklisting was in shambles and unorganized. A sight for sore eyes, really.), so I took the liberty of re-organizing and cleaning that joint up, so it’s beautiful when it plays in your iTunes. Enjoy.

Wiz Khalifa – Flight School [Mixtape] + ILLVibes Interview.

modi — Fri, 29 May 2009 10:00:19 +0000

yeaaah. this mixtape dropped a month or so ago. i’m fully aware of that. however, when it dropped, some thug (or thuggette, to be completely fair) had snatched my macbook and i was unable to acquire a personal copy. i had to download this on my roommates computer and play it on his speakers. whatever, though. it’s here for the taking, and i’m hoping you’ll jump on the wiz khalifa bandwagon after hearing it. it’s a solid mix of lyrical wordplay and swag music, and i don’t care how repetitive the content is, it will rattle your trunk all summer. download below, and tracklisting as well as a trill interview with him and my homies over at ILLVIbes after the drop.

Wiz Khalifa – Ink My Whole Body [Video].

modi — Wed, 06 May 2009 04:31:52 +0000

better late than never. wiz khalifa drops a video for “ink my whole body”, a single off his previous mixtape that i think should have been on radios worldwide. i tried to get aris to put jim jones on it for that complex mag / jim jones mixtape thing back in february, but it didn’t work out! i thinksome bigger names should jump on it to help it get there. i don’t really know how the industry works, but when the album drops, they should consider that. definitely an anthem nonetheless, and one of my favorites off of that Star Power mixtape. shout out to fab 5 entertainment, too!

Wiz Khalifa – Stanky Legg [Freestyle].

modi — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 00:55:29 +0000

i didn’t bother posting the original, even though i like it a lot. so to make up for that, i’ll post young lifa man’s rendition. he claims he doesn’t do the stanky legg, but i’m not buying it. i bet he’s tried it a few times. regardless, he makes it too easy on the trillest, crunkest beat of ’09. goodness.

artie, keep throwing me these wiz joints, i’m loving it. and guys, is it just me, or does wiz kinda look like me in that picture? like, a little bit. right?!

new wiz khalifa freestyles!

modi — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 21:46:24 +0000

three of them, to be exact. the homie artie threw me these joints. wiz’s hustle is pretty thorough. he jumps on that jay rock/wayne joint, that keri hilson single, and beyonce’s “diva”. i’m not even playing about that last one. i like the jay rock joint the most, but you be your own judge. stream/DL below, and throw the thoughts in the comments section.

wiz khalifa – say yeah [remix, prod. by christian rich].

modi — Sun, 09 Nov 2008 23:40:27 +0000

in the last three months, wiz khalifa has quickly climbed to the top of my new favorite artists. and standing next to him on that list are my boys christian rich. so when i heard that CR remixed his single "say yeah," i had to give you guys the exclusive. when i heard those drums, i had to run and get my BOSE headphones to really jam it like it’s supposed to be jammed. some crazy intense $#!t! completely different take than the original, i’ll say that much. let me know how you feel about it.

here’s wiz’ video for the original song.
