D.C.’s Fatz Da Big Fella Proclaims ‘This Is It’ with New Album (Stream)

Make no mistake: Washington, D.C. (and the surrounding area) has been creating some great Hip-Hop this year, much in part thanks to leading stars like Wale, Logic and Kingpen Slim as well as rising stars like Jay IDK. The latest comes from Fatz Da Big Fella, an artist who’s both made a name for himself as a multi-talented businessman as well as an emcee, which has earned him various co-signs from the likes of French Montana, J. Prince and countless others. Formerly, he was a member of Wale’s The Board Administration and had a hand in the creation of various hits under that umbrella; now, he makes a “final” stand on his own with the new album, This Is It.

As Fatz’ official follow-up to 2014’s Fatz Sinatra, This Is It clocks in at 14 tracks — led by the infectious single “Ok Ok” — and features appearances from (Young Thug‘s artist and YSL member) Lil Duke, Sauce Walka, (Maybach Music’s) Stalley, Anwan “Big G” Glover (whom you might know as Slim Charles from the critically-acclaimed series The Wire), Reesa Renee and more. As far as the meaning behind the title, Fatz made his intentions clear:

For me, This Is It can mean two things, depending on the response to this project: either it takes me over the top to the next level of success, or I’m hanging it up after this. This is it, either way.

You can stream This Is It below via Apple Music or Spotify. You can also support by picking up your digital copy here.
