about

Out now is Fat Tony's final remix of "Ain't For Me", this time by the legendary Twin Shadow — and topping off a whole EP of "Ain't For Me" interpretations.

The track takes the synthy original and manages to add even more, upbeat bass giving it a darker, more urgent feel. This effect allows the song to lean extra into the poignant theme of the track’s original story — about a Black American family who leaves home to another country for a better life. Although laden with heavier production, the song still holds onto Fat Tony’s signature bounce and and even adds new vocal effects giving the song a powerful edge and rawness.

Fat Tony Houston, Texas

No artist personifies the DIY culture of both underground hip-hop and Houston as perfectly as Fat Tony, who stormed through the indie-rap gates more than a decade ago. He’s found himself as an artist among fellow Houstonians who mix inward-looking pathos with storytelling and a swagger all their own—from Devin the Dude to Scarface—as well as like-minded iconoclasts such as Prince. ... more
