Fetty Wap | AFTER They Were Famous | Trap Queen to Now...

Before They Were Famous - A podcast by Michael McCrudden

When you think of Fetty Wap, you probably think of a one-eyed rap superstar serenading ladies with the hook from the latest club banger. Along with Nate Dogg, Akon, T-Pain, and Drake, Fetty has gone down as one of the all-time great hip-hop chorus singers. With countless guest appearances on hit singles from artists like Gucci Mane, Migos, and Gwen Stefani, the twenty-seven-year-old New Jersey native has made a name for himself throughout popular culture. Releasing eight mixtapes and one full-length studio album, it's almost impossible for you to have not felt his buzz with his style of combined singing and rapping. He refers to this style as “ignorant rap”. While his lyrics and subject matter would have you put him in more of the gangster/drug dealer category, the rapper has actually proven to be an idol to young raps fans. Most recently his seven-year-old son wrote him a letter stating that he wants to be just like him. His son's admiration aside, Fetty like all of us has made some mistakes. He's even had a run-in with the law. We won't give it away, but it does involve a Mercedes Benz.
