That Mexican OT is A “Cowboy in New York”
That Mexican OT stalks the streets of New York City in the music video for “Cowboy In New York.” Built on a dusty piano loop that would’ve seamlessly fit on the grimy East Coast classic of your choice, owboy In New York” is a lyrical showcase fro the 24-year-old artist, as he applies his fast-talking southern drawl as he goes into graphic detail about his womanizing and party-positive ways: “Y’all think that dude y’all daddy? B*tch, you my son/I had your mama eatin’ my llama for breakfast and lunch/I hung your brother with a shoelace/No face, no case, and now we back to square one.” In the video, OT takes a walk down Fifth Avenue, stopping in a corner store as his lyrics adorn the screen.
Released in July, OT’s album Lonestar Luchador, acclaimed by Pitchfork (7.5) is home to the single “Johnny Dang” ft. Drodi & Paul Wall. which has generated over 90 million streams on YouTube and Spotify alone, plus additional highlights like the bi-lingual banger “Barrio” ft. Lefty SM, the melodic and guitar-inflected revenge anthem “Breannan,” and the villainesque stomper “Cowboy Killer.” Lonestar Luchador made an immediate impact, reaching #1 on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart and peaking at #59 on the Billboard 200. Just last week, OT embraced a Texas rap tradition when he shared Lonestar Luchador (Chopped Not Slopped), remixed by DJ Lil Steve of the legendary collective The Chopstars. Featuring additional guest appearances from BigXThaPlug and Big Yavo, Lonestar Luchador is available everywhere via Manifest/GoodTalk/Good Money Global.
Lonestar Luchador capitalizes on the momentum generated by “Johnny Dang,” That Mexican OT’s breakout hit, released earlier this summer. First gathering heat as a snippet on TikTok and Instagram, the Paul Wall and Drodi-featuring song spent weeks in the top ten of Spotify’s U.S. Viral 50 chart, and spent 12 weekson theBillboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at #65, #14 on the Hot Rap Songs chart and #19 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.
