Fat Trel

Imposing and unflinching, Fat Trel is a major force in the DMV rap scene. The Slutty Boyz crew leader got his start in the late 2000s, releasing his first mixtape just before the end of the decade. In the 2010s, momentum built with a high rate of mixtape output, notable collaborative tracks such as "Russian Roulette" (featuring Chief Keef), and affiliations with Wale and Rick Ross. Trel issued the 2014 tape Gleesh through the latter's Maybach Music Group, and despite continuing legal issues, he became even more prolific, releasing at least ten more projects -- like the Young Moe collaboration Back to Life, featuring the grim "Look in My Eyes" -- by the time he signed to Asylum Records. While briefly supported by Asylum, Trel put together Nightmare on E Street 2 in 2023, and he returned the next year with Boosa's Keeper, followed by City of God: The Prequel in 2026. ~ TiVo Staff, Rovi
