Fat-Trel-Bio.Pdf Press play on a Fat Trel record and you know youʼre listening to the real deal. No stranger to the streets, the DC-bred emcee boldly meshes his clever lyrical talents with captivating storytelling embedded in his reality. Now a part of Master Pʼs “Louie V Mob” and slated to release a new mixtape this year, Fat Trelʼs rise to fame is unstoppable. Born in Danville, VA and raised in Washington, DC, Fat Trel took an interest in the art of rap at age 10, learning to write and record his own rhymes in his cousinʼs studio. Influenced by the likes of the Hot Boy$, Geto Boys, Scarface, Rick Ross and his hometown famous go-go music, the budding artist meshed an East Coast sound with a down South touch. As a teenager, Fat Trel made music just for fun after dropping out of high school and taking to the streets to provide for his family. But, a major turning point in his life came in 2009 when he was shot and wounded by his childhood friend during an unexpected altercation. The incident, which left him in a hospital and on bed-rest for several weeks, changed his outlook on life. From that moment on, Fat Trel decided to take his musical talents seriously and never looked back. It wasnʼt long before he made a name for himself freestyling at crowded open mic sessions throughout DC. His effortless storytelling ability attracted hometown fans and even the attention of the local radio stations 95.5 and 93.9 FM. His buzz eventually reached fellow DC recording artist Wale who quickly signed Fat Trel to his Board of Administration label and gave him a feature on Waleʼs popular More About Nothing mixtape, launching the new artist onto the national stage. After later parting ways with Wale, the rising star dug deep into the trenches and continued writing, recording and putting out music – gaining more fans and exposure in the process. He reached a benchmark of success in 2011 with the release of his street anthem “Respect With the Teck,” produced by hitmaker Lex Luger, sending his career over the top as an independent artist. The music video garnered over 1 million YouTube views, solidifying his position at the next level in the industry. He was tapped to perform with the likes of Juicy J, Smoke DZA, Joey Badass, Short Stop, Cassius Green and Chevy Willis, with his growing celebrity landing him meetings in LA and NY with every record label. However, none of the offers stood out to him at the time and he chose to remain independent. In 2012, Fat Trel released his new mixtape Nightmare on E Street featuring artists like Kirko Bangz, Red Café, Ricky Hill and Big KRIT and also teamed up with Chief Keef on the banger “Russian Roulette.” Even with a growing fan base across the country and an increasing respect in the industry, Fat Trel was surprised to receive a personal call from one of his idols Master P. The rap icon flew Fat Trel to LA and inducted him into Master Pʼs “Louie V Mob” along with fellow upcoming artist Alley Boy. The group will release a highly anticipated mixtape this year and are working on several new business ventures. “Weʼre slowly working on something bigger than weʼve ever done. It feels good to be a rapper right now,” notes Fat Trel. Always one to keep his fans happy, Fat Trel recently released his highly anticipated mixtape “SDMG” (Sex, Drugs, Money, Guns) on August 19th with features by Wale, Magazeen, SluttyBoyz, YG and Ricky Hill. The breakout artist also stays busy at the helm of his DC 1135 Records – home to new artists Slutty Boyz, Chris Bo, Boosa Da Shoota, Young Moe, Yung Gleesh, and Oochie. Fat Trelʼs creative wordplay, organic delivery, and no holds barred approach, give him a universal appeal that will undoubtedly make him a fan favorite and household name before you know it.

  • RIGHTS CLAIMS THROUGH MUSIC a Study on Collective Identity and Social Movements
    RIGHTS CLAIMS THROUGH MUSIC A study on collective identity and social movements Dzeneta Sadikovic Department of Global and Political Studies Human Rights III (MR106S) Bachelor thesis, 15hp 15 ETC, Fall/2019 Supervisor: Dimosthenis Chatzoglakis Abstract This study is an analysis of musical lyrics which express oppression and discrimination of the African American community and encourage potential action for individuals to make a claim on their rights. This analysis will be done methodologically as a content analysis. Song texts are examined in the context of oppression and discrimination and how they relate to social movements. This study will examine different social movements occurring during a timeline stretching from the era of slavery to present day, and how music gives frame to collective identities as well as potential action. The material consisting of song lyrics will be theoretically approached from different sociological and musicological perspectives. This study aims to examine what interpretative frame for social change is offered by music. Conclusively, this study will show that music functions as an informative tool which can spread awareness and encourage people to pressure authorities and make a claim on their Human Rights. Keywords: music, politics, human rights, freedom of speech, oppression, discrimination, racism, culture, protest, social movements, sociology, musicology, slavery, civil rights, African Americans, collective identity List of Contents 1.

  • Hou Het Echt! Authenticity in the Dutch Hip-‐Hop Scene from the Point Of
    Hou het echt! Authenticity in the Dutch hip-hop scene from the point of view of A&R-personnel Tim van Meurs Erasmus School of History, Culture and Communication Erasmus University Rotterdam 362905 [email protected] Supervisor: Dr. Laura Braden Second reader: Prof.dr. Koen van Eijck June 8th, 2015 Foreword “You are trying to apply science to something that isn’t!” With those words, interviewee and godfather of Nederhop Kees de Koning summarized quite well what I have been doing for the last couple of months. Ambitious as I was at the start of the master thesis process, I figured I could interview some key behind-the-scenes figures of the Dutch hip-hop scene without too much trouble. At times, I wished I had listened to those who told me to pick another topic because people from the music industry are generally too busy to conduct a, for them, uninteresting interview. But this thesis now lies in front of you, finished and well, and ready to be read. But it did not become what it is now without any problems. Problems that I did not solve by myself. So for that, I would like to thank the people who guided me through my breakdowns, helped me get further in the process, and supplied me with all sorts of resources to go on; from encouragement, to food, to the opportunity for interviews. First I want to thank my interviewees, for without them I literally would not have been able to make this thesis. So thanks Farid, for being my first interviewee and referring me to others, and thanks Angelo, Jimmy, Pim, Gaétan, Tim, Amier, Jaap, Casper, Vincent and Kees for giving me some of your precious time.

  • How Avid Fans Determine and Value Authenticity in Rap Music
    THE RELEVANCE OF REAL: HOW AVID FANS DETERMINE AND VALUE AUTHENTICITY IN RAP MUSIC _______________ A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Department of Sociology University of Houston _______________ In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Master’s Degree _______________ By Erian J. Aquil May 2018 THE RELEVANCE OF REAL: HOW AVID FANS DETERMINE AND VALUE AUTHENTICITY IN RAP MUSIC _______________ An Abstract of a Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Department of Sociology University of Houston _______________ In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Master’s Degree _______________ By Erian J. Aquil May 2018 ABSTRACT Authenticity in rap music holds historical importance in hip hop culture. Low-income blacks in New York City used rap music to express their feelings about and bring awareness to issues in their communities. Rap music is no longer as closely tied to its origins, but authenticity remains a valuable part of these expressions. Though researchers acknowledge rap music has changed, they use historical markers to identify what is authentic in rap music and rarely investigate how fans understand authenticity today. In-depth interviews with eighteen avid rap fans illustrate new ways fans determine authenticity in rap music. Borrowing from Swidler’s (1986) “cultural tool kit,” this study shows how fans draw from their personal toolkits to determine authenticity. Specifically, fans determine authenticity based on whether they believe an artist is telling stories about personal lived experiences, whether they can relate to an artist’s lyrics, and/or whether an artist shows vulnerability in some way. Conversely, fans consider lyrics inauthentic when a rapper tells exaggerated stories that do not seem plausible.
