That Mexican OT Says “Mucho Gracias” In Video
That Mexican OT is continuing his release run with a new video for “Mucho Gracias,” the penultimate track off his recent critically acclaimed mixtape Texas Technician. That Mexican OT exudes vulnerability on “Mucho Gracias,” as he reflects on his past struggles, vices, and the loss of his mother. Through the use of shadows and cooler tones, the video’s moody imagery shows OT surrounded by the closest members of his squad as well as penning verses in a dark room. His jagged lyrical flow is complemented by jazzy percussion and somber keys, which give the rapper atmospheric room to speak honestly about his life. OT pulls back the curtain on intimate details of his life through childhood photos, his mother’s tombstone, and some favorite toys and cartoon characters. In “Mucho Gracias,” viewers are treated to a side of OT that belies his Texas-sized public rap persona.
That Mexican OT recently announced his 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 Nashville on June 30, New York on July 23, and at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado on June 18th, and including festivals like Lyrical Lemonade’s Summer Smash and Austin City Limits.

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 most 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.
