Rhyming over Bankroll Got It's laid-back trumpets and thumping percussion, OT touts his '82 Benz as he switches up his flow and tears off tongue-twisting bars like only can: "I just sit back and watch, the loud got me feelin' like I'm Cam/Wild boy just like I'm Steve-O, keep flippin' money like Bam/Sippin' drank in New York City, I pour a tray our for Yams/Just rolled an 8th out the Jordan pack, I hit it like it's wham," he purrs. OT welcomes guest appearances from the legendary Curren$y, who shares OT's love for classic cars, and OT's fellow South Texan Le$. In the video, directed by DGreen Filmz, the bottom-of-the-map trio get faded in Spitta's hometown of New Orleans, as they pour lean outside the Jetlife store and enjoy life to the fullest.
"1982" is That Mexican OT's first new single since the release of Texas Technician, OT's acclaimed March 2024 mixtape.

Moneybagg Yo (12 million YT views).
