Normally with something as fire as the ‘1982’ music video, you would see it featured in either Video of the Day or just the Videos section but because I’m a fan of all three plus the fire production? This is a notch below breaking news. Hence, glowing atop the site with That Mexican OT, Curren$y and LE$.

That Mexican OT comes through with his super fire ‘1982’ music video

The lyricism is pure impressive and how about getting OT, L and Spitta all showing out in this visual? Super tough.

Whipping classic cars as he burns premium trees,That Mexican OT is an appreciator of the finer things. Teaming up with fellow Cannabis connoisseurs for a new stoner's anthem, the Bay City, TX breakout shares "1982," a new single and music video. 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. Named by Stereogum as the 14th best album of 2024 so far, Texas Technician is a sterling tribute to the state's hip-hop scene, welcoming legends like Slim Thug, Paul Wall, and more from the Houston scene and featuring hits like "02.02.99" (#74 peak on the Billboard Hot 100, 17 million YouTube views) and "Twistin' Fingaz" ft. Moneybagg Yo (12 million YT views). 

That Mexican OT recently wrapped a nationwide 2024 tour, featuring support from fellow Houston rapper Maxo Kream and his close confidante and "Johnny Dang" collaborator DRODi. Kicking off in Louisville, Kentucky on June 12, the tour criss-crosses the country for 33 dates, with stops in New York on July 23, and festivals like Austin City Limits. Earlier this summer, OT headlined a show at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado, and performed at Lyrical Lemonade's Summer Smash, where he rendezvoused with Nardwuar for an interview. The tour also featured ten different dates in OT's home state of Texas, stopping at underserved markets in the state for one of their biggest concerts of the year. The rapper will perform at several events later this year, including the West Texas Truck Show in Odessa and Austin City Limits Festival. Tickets for That Mexican OT’s concertsare available at ThatMexicanOT.net  

That Mexican OT is continuing a hot streak that has made him one of the most exciting breakthrough rap stars of the decade so far. He started his legendary run with "Johnny Dang" ft. Drodi & Paul Wall, which spent 12 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, appeared on his album Lonestar Luchador, and recently, earned a PLATINUM certification from the RIAA. Acclaimed by Pitchfork (7.5), last July's Lonestar Luchador made an immediate impact, reaching #1 on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart and peaking at #59 on the Billboard 200. Last fall, That Mexican OT completed the "Lonestar Luchador Tour," the Bay City native's first-ever headlining tour, selling out dozens of dates across the country. The rapper earned "Best Of 2023" notices from The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Billboard, Complex, and Pitchfork. Recently, OT tore it up at Rolling Loud California 2024, performing his hits in front of thousands of fans, and sat down with Joe Rogan for a wide-ranging discussion that became the most-listened to podcast in the United States on Spotify on its day of release.

Recently named a 2024 XXL Freshman and one of the 7 Artists Shaping the Sound of 2024 by The New York Times, on top of recent interviews with the Los Angeles Times, SPIN Magazine, and his hometown Houston Chronicle, That Mexican OT is outta here. Stay tuned for much more from the Bay City, TX rhymer as he launches into the stratosphere.
