Fat Trel Sets Eyes on Comeback with ‘Nightmare on E Street 2’

Fat Trel has continued to work to establish momentum since his November 2022 release from prison. Since his release, he has dropped a number of tracks leading up to his project release date, including “Art.”

“It’s definitely a victory [to be back home],” says Trel. “It feels good to be working again, being with my kids. We always gonna miss the simple stuff – money, cars, clothes. But I really missed the daily grind. It feels good to be back though.” 

Trel’s comeback is his main focus. The Washington D.C. native recently dropped the sequel to his debut mixtape, Nightmare of E Street 2. Fat Gleesh’s latest project is an ode to his DC neighborhood and block of E Street. 

The 11-track project takes listeners on a lyrical road through his hood in addition to his encounters as he finds a better way to become the best version of himself. In addition, the “Finsta” rapper shows the rigid dichotomy of his life in the trenches and what he’s learned while making a name for himself and his native surroundings. 

“If you want some money youngin,’ gotta get your s**t together,” he raps on “Like That.” Nightmare on E Street features guest appearances from Icewear Vezzo, Big Boogie, Hunxho, and more. 

“I feel like what’s meant for me will be for me,” he says regarding project expectations. “What I do hope to achieve with this album is to gain more fans, more listeners and to touch more people and more hearts.” 

Fat Trel released his debut project, Nightmare on E Street, in 2012.

Fat Trel’s ‘The Road To Nightmare On E Street 2’ Documentary Details The DC Rapper’s Comeback

by

The DMV area was one that was long overlooked in hip-hop through its first 30 or so years, but in the early 2010s, it rose in prominence and has been climbing ever since thanks to the efforts of rappers like Wale, IDK, Rico Nasty, and Shy Glizzy. However, one of Washington DC’s foremost pioneers had been missing out on the region’s boom.

Fat Trel, who first broke out in 2012 thanks to his Nightmare On E Street mixtape, spent much of the latter half of the 2010s in prison due to a string of arrests and possession of a weapon. Now, he’s out and looking to restart his career in earnest with the mixtape Nightmare On E Street 2. He details his impending comeback in a new mini-documentary titled The Road To Nightmare On E Street 2.

Trel was initially locked up in 2016 for using counterfeit currency and driving while intoxicated. In 2018, though, he was arrested for possession of a so-called “ghost gun” and sentenced in 2021 to two years and six months in federal prison (he was released later that year thanks to time served). After a probation violation in December, he served out another 11 months before being released in November.

The documentary details Trel’s love for music and recommitment to the art form as he works to stay out of trouble and enjoy the fruits of his labor as DC, Maryland, and Virginia finally start to see more popularity. Trel’s peers like Shy Glizzy and Wale appear in the doc, as he recounts his rise to stardom and expresses his hopes for the future.

Master P Responds To Jess Hilarious & Fat Trel Accusations

by

Master P recently addressed accusations of mismanagement, withheld money, and mistreatment from collaborators Jess Hilarious and Fat Trel. Moreover, both have issues with the No Limit boss thanks to false movie promises, lack of artistic support, and unfulfilled payments. While P didn’t address every little detail, he responded to these claims in a lengthy Instagram post and video. “I’ve only given people opportunities,” he began. “Ive never forced an artist to make music or go into the studio. It’s sad that it’s always us against us. But I’m going to keep educating the ones that want to learn and grow. And to everyone I’ve crossed paths with, I wish them success.

“We were ahead of our time,” he continued. “This was 2013 LV Mob, @alleyboy_don a Real G though and I Respect him to the end. We didn’t Pop back then because we didn’t have a Hit Record, we only had Street Records that didn’t cross over. I invested in this project, lost on it and I still haven’t been able to make money from streaming. That’s one of the reasons why I got out of the music industry and into the product game. Product don’t talk back.

Master P Responds To Jess Hilarious

However, P also took more direct aim at Jess in particular and refuted her claims. “I love @jesshilarious_official and I know she was just cracking jokes because she signed her contract and got paid what she was owed for I Got The Hook Up 2 but if she tryna squeeze me for another 10k she got that. 

“One thing about the Truth it can’t be changed & It Will Always Come to Light,” he concluded. “What they meant for harm, God will use for good. I’m going to Keep doing the right thing, that’s why bigger blessings Keep coming.” Meanwhile, this recent message comes about a week after his last comments addressing negativity against him. “It should be a law,” he said about not validating perspectives from people who he hasn’t heard from in years. “After seven years, you shouldn’t be allowed to get on no podcast and talk about nobody. Think about it! It’s a statute of limitations! If you ain’t been around that person in over seven years, you don’t deserve to talk about them.” Regardless of your take, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Master P and his tribulations.

Big Boogie Delivers 14 Tracks And A Fat Trel Feature On “Definition Of Big Dude” Album

by

In 2021, Big Boogie finally made a name for himself thanks to his work on UNDERRATED. The 16-track effort previously landed on Christmas Eve of that year and saw just one feature from his mentor, Yo Gotti. Today (January 31), the CMG artist is finally ready to unveil his next musical chapter via Definition of Big Dude.

This project includes 14 titles, and again, a sole feature – this one specifically from Fat Trel on “P*ssy Monster.” Interestingly, one of the most popular titles from his last album is “P*ssy Power” and its subsequent remixes, so it’s possible that this new collaboration could be a contender for a big hit.

While celebrating on Instagram across various posts, Boogie made it known that “THE WORLD IS [HIS].” While the album certainly required plenty of hard work and dedication, it’s nothing compared to what he’s willing to put in as he continues to grow.

Ahead of Definition of Big Dude‘s arrival, the Memphis native shared “Twelve Four” as a single. It arrived earlier this month with an accompanying music video, and already boasts upwards of 50K Spotify streams.

The “KeKe” hitmaker previously signed to Yo Gotti’s label in November of 2020. At the time, he was gifted a coveted CMG chain and was later invited to perform at the Memphis Grizzlies halftime home opener show against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Fat Trel Says Beef With Master P Was Over “Menace II Society” Sequel

by

He was once one of Master P’s artists, and now, Fat Trel is shedding light on why he fell out with the No Limit icon. In a recent interview with No Jumper, Trel claims it boiled down to a phantom Menace II Society sequel that never materialized.

The rapper said back in 2012, P called him and told Trel he wanted him to star in the film. Master P allegedly asked Trel and Alley Boy to move to Los Angeles to push forward the project. However, things didn’t go as planned.

“He was like, ‘I’mma need you to move out here.’ So I’m looking at my manager like, ‘What?’ He was like, ‘Yeah, you know, just like a year or two.’ I’m like, ‘Aight!’” Trel recalled.

“And I’m young, man. I’m like 22, 23 at the time. I don’t know nothing about the cost of living. All that sh*t, grown-up sh*t ain’t even in my mind. So, I’m like, whatever.”

“He was like, ‘I’m gonna give you x amount of dollars a month,’” Trel added. “I’m like, ‘Okay, cool!’ But when I moved there, bro, the movie never got brought up.”

According to Trel, it seemed as if Master P was more concerned with him making music.

“Alley Boy was really cool with the situation,” he further shared. “And I felt like we was recording too much music because I’m like, we here for the movie, bruh. I been living here for about seven months, I haven’t started a acting class. We no longer spoke about the scripts, the movie never ever came up.”

“You know, we doing video shoots and photo shoots, and we got shirts pressed up that say Louie V Mob, and he calling us the Louie V Mob, and outside of the money that he was paying me monthly, I was receiving nothing for all of the music I’m putting out!”

““The last straw was that [my boy] Black and them showed me that one of those [Louie V Mob] albums was on iTunes. This was before Apple Music and Spotify and all that. Like, the album was for sale on iTunes.”

Trel claims P told people that the rapper “didn’t have any patience.” He was also accused of only wanting a record deal and not believing in Master P’s vision.

“I looked at that like that was a form of disrespect. He also said, “I ain’t call his phone or nothing. I ain’t have no conversation with him or nothing because I been around P, and I know what type of person he really is and if I respected him as a man, I would have felt some type of way about it.”

“But being around him and knowing what type of n*gga he is, I just let it slide like f*ck that sh*t. It ain’t that serious and even though he lying – he lied to their faces – because there was never supposed to be a Louie V Mob. We was never supposed to record a single record together. That was not in the plans.”
