YTB Fatt Connects With OT7 Quanny For Cross-Regional Banger "I Did It"

YTB Fatt commands a rabid fanbase in the Southern streets, winning fans with his rapidfire flows and ferocious flexes. For his latest single, the West Memphis, AR rapper recruits a kindred spirit from the East Coast, sharing "I Did It," a new collaboration with the red hot rising rapper out of Philadelphia. Though Fatt and Quanny come from vastly different regional traditions, each rapper has accomplished a huge amount in a short period of time...and neither is surprised by their string of successes. The two rappers demonstrate their differing, yet complementary styles over blown-out 808s and a creeping piano bassline, each one listing their hard-earned accomplishments: Fatt boasts about his loyal block soldiers and the 8 cars to his name, while Quanny speaks on owning the "biggest house on the block" like Friday's Uncle Elroy.

In the video, the two rappers flex on stage and in the studio, piling up more cash than they can hold, as they have one of their patented "100 grand nights." "I Did It" continues YTB Fatt's string of fiery singles, including the Usher-sampling "Same," featuring a YouTube Top 25-trending video with cameo appearances from GloRilla and Big Homiie G, and "Brazi Blue Cheese," an ode to the founder of GUMBO. 

With Moneybagg Yo's Loaf Boyz him and over 140 million streams in the bank, YTB Fatt had a breakout year in 2023, highlighted by his recent mixtape Who Is Fatt. His first full-length project, Who Is Fatt charted on Billboard and Apple Music, reaching #4 on Billboard's Heatseekers Albums and charting as high as #12 on Apple Music's All-Genre Album Chart and at #6 on Apple Music's Hip-Hop Albums Chart. The project is home to his breakout hit "Get Back" (19 million YouTube views), and the Pitchfork-praised "Poppin It Hard," plus guest appearances from Rob49, Big Homiie G and FTO Sett. Fatt followed up Who Is Fatt with the no-holds-barred 10-pack Foxes Only, featuring guest appearances from Lil Yachty, GloRilla, and BabyDrill. Both Who Is Fatt and Foxes Only are available on all platforms via Loaf Boy Ventures / 10K Projects. 

YTB Fatt has been rising steadily in the Dirty South since the beginning of last 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" (13 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, and has become an in-demand featured artist, working with artists like Trippie Redd, Rob 49, Icewear Vezzo, and many, many others.

With two successful mixtapes under his belt, Fatt is tirelessly working to reach the top of the rap game. Stay tuned for much more.

Mahogany tables beneath bourbon walls and a black ceiling as Carl, the saint he is, pours sweet tea and recommends the dry ribs. He holds himself as a gentle man, moving slowly with a little extra weight on his left as he steps towards the kitchen to fetch more of the drink. Damn the sweet tea—tables full of that honey nectar, the water of the South—brought swiftly over worn hardwood floors that have known the feet of many joyous, dancing folk. Folk with soft voices that end each phrase in kind words and affirmations, folk that meet and hold a gaze loyally, just like a deer is loyal to the headlights of its end.

For a moment, I dread the harsh hiss of my peers in the West; anxious fools we all seem in comparison to these tender souls of Memphis. The land of B.B. King, the land of the blues. “See you boys next time,” Carl seems to sing as we step back to the road and begin again. Soon the sun has expanded until she floods everything in sight with a color just like that of the sweet tea. Train yards, groves of locust, drowned fields of soybeans, a sandy full moon low to the horizon, and suitcase towns all burn up in her hand as we fly west.

With time, the snow slips back into the landscape, and just past 10 p.m., we arrive at a deserted navy hospital perched above Hot Springs Arkansas. A thousand windows lay dark, like the eyes of some terrible creature of the sea. The building feels alive, restless to sit drained of the life and death that once filled its halls. Towns like this make me rejoice for my destination, and I swear I saw envy in the eyes of those bound to stay as we stopped for coffee and waffles—“just passing through” written all over us.

Now, an hour past the reset of the day, we stop to sleep in a Texas hotel “under renovation,” or so a greasy fox of a man says, as I am sure he has said each night for years now. I’m not sure how one could fix anything with the sad sum we cough up, and so I turn my head away from the missing drywall and stained mattress and write of the day’s unfoldings. Austin tomorrow.

This is a coming-of-age story about a group of boys growing up in West Memphis, Arkansas, during the '60s and early '70s. The trees transform into the proverbial Woodlawn Giants, watching over these children as they grow up, go on adventures, and confront neighborhood rivals while learning about life's joys and tribulations.

It's a story that highlights the "it takes a village" mindset that created their small neighborhood and raised its children. The boys' memories of fishing at Tunica Lake and attempting to leap the Ten-Mile Bayou will live for as long as the pine trees do.

Chopsticks in the Land of Cotton: Lives of Mississippi Delta Chinese Grocers by John Jung

[ID: a photograph of the book on a blue blanket. More details in alt. End ID.]

I really love buying and reading non-fiction books to learn about the world. Recently, I've been buying a lot of books I think can teach me things I can use in fics. In one part to encourage me to read them faster, and in another part to share these books with others who may be interested in the same topics, I've decided to write reviews of each one once I finish them.

My overall rating: 5/5 stars. An engaging and informative read that is easy to understand.

This book covers a piece of American history I never knew about and was fascinated to experience through the words of those who lived it. Covering from the 1870s to the early 2000s, it follows the lives of Chinese immigrants from Guangdong, China, who settled in the Mississippi Delta. The Delta is an area of Mississippi and Arkansas that stretches over 150 miles south of Memphis, and 70 miles east-west from Greenwood to Greenville. Factual narration is intercut with interviews of the descendants of those initial immigrant workers, both those who still live in the Delta and those who have moved away from it. I enjoyed this structure: it really let me feel the struggles and victories they went through, and the economic, social, and emotional challenges they faced. Comparing the pre- and post-Jim Crow law days, as well as putting other world events into the context of this one area, showed off the nuance of each aspect it focused on. I really appreciated all the old documents and photographs displayed throughout the book.

The tales of these Chinese grocers is entirely unique to their time and area, yet they resonate with other histories around the country.

dearest VR, have you watched the film paris, texas? i have many jumbled incoherent thoughts about how its exploration of landscapes (specifically the american west) as metaphysical spaces, its prominent age gap relationship and other thematic elements intersect with the same sorts of things i like best in joel and arthur fics (skewing toward the DDLG ones hehe). and the same sorts of things that speak to me in lana's art, too. the film is not smut obv lol but i see strong connections between it and the fics i like best (and stories in general). it is a bit more gut-wrenching than i like the fics i read for escapism to be, like one of the truest depictions of ptsd, domestic violence, substance abuse, and 'the inability to go back' and the age gap is kinda just a fact of the mater. BUT i think you said once you are not necessarily a happily ever after person and i kind of love when age gap fics are not. typing this on my phone, it makes no sense, just thoughts... but wanted to say them after i saw your americana post from the other day on my dash :))

okay nonnie, i wanted to watch the film before i replied, just so i could you give you a comprehensive reply that wasn't just me pretending to agree with what you were saying and promising to watch a movie that would've probably stayed in my to watch list for a long time. soooooo, i watched it last night and it has been stuck in my mind ever since.

its exactly my type of film, so much so that i put in my top four on letterboxd. the shots of the landscape were breathtaking every time, no matter the length, the sympathy that i felt for travis was constant throughout the film and then squandered towards the end with the revelation and that fucking brilliant last conversation between him and jane. the cinematography was impeccable, the acting from the kid was brilliant which is unusual because i don't usually like kids in movies because (no offence) the acting always sucks. however, this time round it felt like they'd just told hunter carson to talk about his special interests and they'll just film him doing so with harry dean stanton nodding along and listening as a dad normally would.

it was just so personable and i don't wanna seem like I'm droning on because half the people reading this probably won't have a fucking clue what we're talking about, but it was so visceral in every way that a film should be. my melancholic nature was definitely stimulated and the age gap was unexpected but also extremely poignant and necessary. i just feel like its so realistic for such extreme age gaps to not have a happy ending, you know?? especially in an american wasteland where two people come together out of comfort that then transforms into obsession and possessiveness that ultimately stunts a healthy growth of the relationship. its something that i want to explore in this next fic i have planned called 'An American Trilogy,' (yes i named it after the elvis song), which is hopefully gonna be a three part fic that spans three months of summer starting in alabama, through north mississippi to memphis (for reasons i think you can gather from the fic title) through arkansas and into texas where...inevitability occurs.

i'm undecided whether i want to write it for joel or arthur because i feel like i've got a good few joel fics now and nothing to show for arthur who has always been my original man. if it were to be arthur then i'd have to transform the setting into a late 1800's southern america and there's a whole load of history that goes alongside it. unless people wouldn't mind a modern au - personally that's not what i like in an arthur fic tho. the historical setting is kinda part of him. let me know what yall think though!!
