Fat Trel Talks Wale, GBE, and Smokers Club Tour

Fat Trel has spent the last few years of his career trying to establish himself as one of the few hood rappers from the Capital District. While at first getting support from DC neighbors like Wale, the big man is putting his Slutty Boy team on his back and putting in work on his own. Now, after burning bridges with a few of his former idols, you might have seen Fat Trel doing his thing on Smokers Club Tour 2013. “Being a part of the Smokers Club was a blessing. Never underestimate the power of your music is what the tour taught me most because it was touching people I had no idea about,” Fat Trel tells BlowHipHop.TV on his most recent interview.

Fat Trel began getting his buzz up in the DMV area and his music eventually reached the ears of The Board of Administration, one of D.C.’s established management groups who were instrumental in Wale’s career. However the relationship wasn’t built to last and Trel was dropped from the label without any warning. Trel never allowed the situation to slow his momentum and soon after found a home with the Smokers Club and Johnny Shipes’ Cinematic Music Group. With a long list of artists with whom Trel could both relate and build with, it was a no-brainer for Shipes to include Trel on the Smoker’s Club 2012 Summer Tour. It was there where Trel understood the impact of his music on fans across the country.With the support of industry veterans and the nation wide alignment of his Slutty Boyz and Slutty Girlz nation wide, Fat Trel is set to put on for North East DC and all the trappers that are still living that life.
