Maxo Kream Shares The Tracklist For ‘Personification,’ Which Features Denzel Curry, Tyler The Creator, And More

November 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

This Friday, November 15, Maxo Kream will release his fourth (or eighth, if you were to ask him) studio album, Personification. The rollout for the album has included the release of his singles “Talkin In Screw” featuring That Mexican OT and “Cracc Era” featuring Tyler The Creator, and a few guest features with the likes of Denzel Curry, with whom Maxo collaborated on “Set It.” Curry also appears on the tracklist for Personification, which Maxo shared this week, and also has appearances from fellow Texan BigXthaPlug, Houston rap legend Z-Ro, rising starts Rob49 and Skilla Baby, and Maxo’s brother, who has renamed himself Josh Kream.

Also, earlier this week, Maxo broke down the philosophy behind his new album with a short film shared to Twitter (which I will never call “X”). In the caption, Maxo writes, “Emekwanem. Trigga Maxo. Maxo C. All me all in one. I’ve had it all and lost it all. Thankful for my angels and I regret nothing. I’m still here dropping albums and my new one comes this Friday.”

Maxo Kream Reveals Loaded Tracklist For New Album “Personification”

November 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Maxo Kream is in a groove. The rapper has build up a fanbase over the last several years, but it feels as though he’s on the cusp of a commercial breakthrough. The hype has never been more deafening than it has been for his upcoming album, Personification. Part of the reason is that Kream is honing his skills as an artist, and simply getting better. The other part is that the singles for Personification have been stellar across the board. Maxo Kream has been working with some of the most exciting rappers in the game and holding his own. Now, we have the album tracklist.

Maxo Kream is not making the mistake that so many of his genre peers make. Personification is a tight 14 songs, ensuring that it will not overstay its welcome. The solo singles are accounted for here, like the soft and contemplative “Bang the Bus” and the retro-sounding “Big Hoe Me.” It’s the collabs, however, that’ll draw most of the attention. Tyler, The Creator and That Mexican OT shined on “Cracc Era” and “Talkin In Screw,” respectively. Both songs were released ahead of the album, and prove that Maxo Kream can slip into any style and vibe imaginable. The star power continues on the songs that have yet to be released.

That Mexican OT Teams Up with Maxo Kream and Lil’ Keke for “War Wounds”

October 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

That Mexican Fights “War Wounds” In New Video Single ft Texas Legends Maxo Kream Lil Keke

Texas rap is alive and well, thanks to rising star That Mexican OT, who brings his signature swagger and lyrical prowess in his new single and video, “War Wounds.” Teaming up with fellow Texas rappers Maxo Kream and Lil’ Keke, the Bay City native delivers fast-paced, tongue-twisting bars over Bankroll Got It’s synth-heavy production. The track is a testament to OT’s Texas roots, where his confidence and grit shine: “So many war wounds from these wars, they probably think that I’m emo.”

Lil’ Keke and Maxo Kream join OT, flexing their own Texas pride with equally hard-hitting verses. The accompanying music video, directed by DGreen Filmz, shows the trio perfecting combat tactics at a paintball facility, turning a fake battle into a real warning for the competition.

“War Wounds” drops after OT’s standout performance at the Austin City Limits Festival, with another set scheduled for ACL Weekend 2 this Sunday.

That Mexican OT, Maxo Kream, & Lil’ Keke Are Battle-Tested On “War Wounds”

October 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

That Mexican OT has been having a banner year and it’s seemingly only getting better with the release of “War Wounds.” This is the latest track from the Texas rapper and songwriter, who blew up late last year thanks to the release of the viral “Johnny Dang.” Prior to “War Wounds,” which has guest verses from fellow Texans Maxo Kream and Lil’ Keke, OT dropped off a lowkey cut “1982” with Curren$y and LE$. Nothing has been officially announced yet, but it seems like he’s concocting another project of sorts. He’s already put out Texas Technician, his biggest tape of his burgeoning career.

The 2024 XXL Freshman raps with amazing proficiency, as he rolls his letters to create that now trademark tongue-twisting effect. On “War Wounds,” That Mexican OT is also proving to be a solid chorus writer. Out of all of his tracks, this may be in his top five. The transition from “mosquito” to “wings” is incredibly catchy. Lil’ Keke and Maxo Kream embody OT’s slipperiness on their verses as well, making for a cohesive listen. Additionally, the bass line is groovy and the twinkly keys add a nice eerie effect, as each MC raps about being built tough for all of the BS that comes their way. Check out the Call of Duty inspired music video with the link below.

That Mexican OT, Maxo Kream, & Lil’ Keke – “War Wounds”

Quotable Lyrics:

I’m so cold I can shoot a mosquito
Wings through a lil peep hole, I’m feeling like a war hero
So many war wounds from these wars, they probably think that I’m emo
I stay one deep like I’m zero
My boots came straight from that GEO

Denzel Curry And That Mexican OT Delve Into 1990s Underground Rap On Their ‘Black Flag Freestyle’

June 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Denzel Curry’s new album King Of The Mischievous South Vol. 2 comes out in a little less than a month, and today, he shared the next single to help build its buzz. “Black Flag Freestyle” features Bay City, Texas rapper That Mexican OT, fresh off his selection as a XXL Freshman, and was debuted via a gritty performance on From The Block filmed in Houston in front of the legendary Screwed Up Records & Tapes store.

So far, King Of The Mischievous South Vol. 2 sounds like it’s a return to the Memphis trap sound that first launched Denzel’s career after his last album, Melt My Eyes, See Your Future, diverged into more therapeutic topics and sounds. The other single Denzel released, “Hot Ones,” also delved into dark samples from ’90s Memphis underground rap alongside TiaCorine and ASAP Ferg, another noted purveyor of the goth trap sound favored by the likes of Juicy J and Gimisum Family. Memphis underground legend Kingpin Skinny Pimp also appears on the tracklist, alongside Curry contemporaries like ASAP Rocky, Kenny Mason, Maxo Kream, Ski Mask the Slump God, and more.

Watch Denzel Curry’s From The Block performance of “Black Flag Freestyle” with That Mexican OT above.

King Of The Mischievous South Vol. 2 is out 7/19 via Loma Vista. Find more information here.

Denzel Curry & That Mexican OT Shred A Nasty Trap Beat On “BLACK FLAG FREESTYLE”

June 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Denzel Curry now has one of the most hyped-up rap projects on deck with King Of The Mischievous South Vol. 2. The follow-up mixtape to the 2012 original will drop on July 19 and will feature numerous heavy hitters. Fans can expect to hear Ty Dolla $ign, Juicy J, A$AP Ferg (FERG), TiaCorine, A$AP Rocky, and plenty more. So far, Zel has put forth five singles, with the first dating all the way back to August of last year. Now, Denzel Curry is up to number six with “BLACK FLAG FREESTYLE”.

Every song will have some guest performer in the fold, and on this one, it is That Mexican OT. The Texas rapper has had quite the last 12 months or so, dropping viral singles. However, this feature placement on “BLACK FLAG FREESTYLE” may be another springboard for him. This single is technically not out yet, as Denzel and OT linked up to perform it on the 4 Shooters Only YouTube series, “From The Block”. That being said, this track should be coming to streaming platforms shortly. Overall, this is another banger for Denzel, as him and OT make light work of a grimy and grim Southern trap instrumental that would have come from the Raider Klan days.

Listen To “BLACK FLAG FREESTYLE” By Denzel Curry & That Mexican OT

Quotable Lyrics:

Ayy, black flag all on my mic’ (On my mic’)
I been known to spend a lot like Bob Barker, the price is right (Hey)
Being broke my kryptonite (Huh), being rich my superpower (Huh)
Smokin’ on these bitter n****s, in my hood we call it sour (Want the smoke)
From the southside of FLA, been through Dade and Broward
Musty a** kush on me, smellin’ like a golden shower (The shower)

Maxo Kream & That Mexican OT Pay Homage To Chopped & Screwed On “Talkin In Screw”

March 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Maxo Kream is back at it with another banger for 2024. The Texas rapper has been on an underrated run over the first few months of the year in terms of singles. He started off with the hazy and raunchy “Bang The Bus” with underground producer evilgiane. Then, at the beginning of March, he put out his first solo release with “No Then You A H*e.” A touching tribute to his late father with a message about toughness and the loaded expectations of men, it was easily one of the best songs this month. Now, to wrap things up before April, Maxo Kream is teaming up with That Mexican OT for “Talkin In Screw.”

This track is stark difference from the emotional record preceding it. It sees the two Texas artists go for the trap sound that also makes a nod to the chopped and screwed sounds of Southern hip-hop. The title is a clever play-on-words, as the main theme of the track is about people talking sideways about Maxo and OT. They use “screw” in place of hating, and like Maxo says on the chorus, “Make a n**** slow his roll like he talkin’ in Screw.”

Listen To “Talkin In Screw” By Maxo Kream & That Mexican OT

That is Kream saying he is going to make sure the haters are going to relax and fix their tone. These two first worked together on OT’s 2023 record Lonestar Luchador, which featured the hit “Johnny Dang.” With all of this recent output, hopefully Maxo has a new tape on the way. Be sure to check out the song with the link above.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new song, “Talkin In Screw,” by Maxo Kream and That Mexican OT? Is this the best track Maxo has been on this year, why or why not?

Quotable Lyrics:

Pull up, Lamb truck, pop trunk, make a yellow b**** choose

Sip syrup, pop Perc, got pink, got blues
I be on lean like fat n**** shoes
Catch me on lean like a n**** with no knees
Opp n**** weak, wanna beat ’bout a freak

Maxo Kream And That Mexican OT Have A Texas Conversation With Their ‘Talkin In Screw’ Video

March 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Two of Texas’ rising titans of trash talk link up in the video for Maxo Kream‘s new single, “Talkin In Screw,” as the Houston native taps Bay City up-and-comer That Mexican OT to trade rapid-fire verses and a hook paying homage to one of their home state’s heroes. Over a slamming “saw whistle” beat, the two Lone Star spitters chop it up over the staples of their home region’s subgenre of brash street rap: Swangers, grills, wood grain, and of course, lean.

Aside from being the duo’s first song together since OT’s “Opp Or 2” in 2023, it’s also apparently the first single from Maxo’s upcoming follow-up to his well-received 2022 album, Weight Of The World, on which Uproxx’s Wongo Okon wrote, “the rapper insists on carrying this weight” of his “responsibilities, pains, and traumas.” While it’s still early days, Maxo sounds revitalized on his latest single, and ready to once again pull the rap world’s focus toward Texas.

Once it’s there, That Mexican OT is well-prepared to accept his share of the attention. Making a splash in 2023 with his breakthrough single “Johnny Dang,” OT impressed fans and critics with his debut studio album Lonestar Luchador, which confidently combined both Texas rap stereotypes and his love for the culture of his stage name. He followed up early this month with Texas Technician, proving that there’s a lot more gas in the tank.
