Foogiano

Never underestimate the power of words scribbled in a notebook. For all of his hard-hitting rhymes, knockout ad-libs, and bludgeoning bars, Foogiano ultimately derives his lyrical style from a lifelong penchant for poetry, having scrawled his thoughts on paper as poems since childhood. The Greensboro, GA rapper rips through meticulous wordplay with hard-earned wisdom and stories straight from the streets. Amassing over 40 million total streams, receiving critical acclaim, winning the 2019 Authentic Empire Music Group (AE) Atlanta rap competition, and signing to Gucci Mane’s 1017 and Atlantic Records, those words practically burn up the page on his 2020 mixtape Gutta Baby and more to come. In 2020, Foogiano came out swinging. He served up “TRAPPER” and a Remix featuring Lil Baby in addition to contributing bangers to The New 1017 compilations Gucci Mane Presents: So Icy Summer and So Icy Gang, Vol. 1. Plus, he officially unleashed “Molly” and recruited DaBaby for the Remix, generating 5 million global streams with the video amassing over 1M streams per week. However, everything bulldozed a path for the new Gutta Baby mixtape. On the project, he gets confessional with raw lyrics and true stories from his time in jail until now. Known as “Da Mayor” of the streets, Foogiano is just getting started on his path with The New 1017 and has already proved he’s an artist to watch in 2020 and beyond.
