Fat Trel wants to see rap get the same respect in his city like Go-Go. If you have ever been to D.C., then you know that’s a hard job. The Chocolate City runs on the sounds of Chuck Brown and the Backyard Band. There is a place for rap to reign.
Trel, alongside Wale, Shy Glizzy, GoldLink and more have quietly gave a face to the D.C. scene. So with his new album, On the Run and up-coming compilation, Fat Trel hopes to tip the scale some more towards rap and give a lane for more local artists to come up.
Fat Trel was recently in Atlanta on a press run for his new album and stopped by the CashColorCannabis Podcast to speak about his new album and what we can expect from the project, how he found his way to MMG and what role Wale played in it, his admiration for the D.C. cannabis scene and more.
