Houston rapper Fat Tony popped onto my radar in the early part of the last decade from his appearances on mixtapes by both ASAP Rocky and Das Racist, and since then he’s had a wildly prolific career, dropping albums at a steady clip and constantly tweaking his sound. His most recent album – 2020's Exotica – finds Tony embracing the role of the griot with a concise collection of storytelling songs. I first connected with him when he appeared on an episode of my hip hop game show The Questions last year, and we had such a good time that I knew we had to reconnect and get even more in-depth on some music talk. In this episode we break down these songs:
"Through the Storm" ('10,000 Hours', 2018)
"What Wake You Up" feat Bun B ('Exotica', 2020)
"Get Out My Way" feat Sophia Pfister ('Wake Up' w/ Taydex, 2020)
'Legal Weed' ('MacGregor Park,' 2017)
"Take A Sip" (Charge it to the Game 'House with a Pool', 2018)
"U Ain't Fat" ('RABDARGAB', 2010)
"Full Circle" feat. J Kelr ('Full Circle', 2018)
