Big Moochie Grape Released From Prison, Drops From The Block Video For New Song “Wake Em Up”

The Memphis Artist Recently Released East Haiti Baby: Incarcerated, A New Project Featuring Guest Appearances From Incarcerated Rappers, Including YFN Lucci, C-Murder, Rio Da Yung OG, and Bankroll Freddie

Turning heads with his fast-talking flow and force of personality, Big Moochie Grape always stands on business. Getting to work immediately after ending a short prison stay, the Paper Route Empire rapper shares “Wake ‘Em Up,” his new single. The new single releases via 4ShootersOnly‘s renowned platform From The Block–the East Memphis rapper didn’t waste a second of his freedom, performing the new song in front of a hanging microphone the same night after leaving the corrections facility where he spent his sentence. Produced by his favorite sound architect, PRE’s own Bandplay, Moochie injects a jolt of energy into a rap scene, vowing to rouse anyone who might have slept on him.

The new FTB video continues a saga that started with Moochie’s new project, East Haiti Baby: Incarcerated, the follow-up to 2022’s East Haiti Baby. The high-octane mixtape welcomes guest verses exclusively from other incarcerated rappers, including YFN Lucci, who who turns in a sing-song counterpoint to Moochie’s machine gun patter on “I Made It,” Rio Da Yung OG on “Bars,” a Memphis-meets-Michigan-style banger, and his PRE cohort Big Unccc, who tears it up on “L.A. Lakers.” Notably, the project welcomes an interlude from C-Murder, a close friend of Moochie’s late mentor Young Dolph, the No Limit soldier who has been locked up for decades and has much wisdom to share. Honoring the project’s theme, Big Moochie Grape and Paper Route Empire partnered with the Bail Project, a non-profit that advocates for bail reform and provides free bail assistance to those in need, to match donations up to $20k in December 2023.Featuring an additional guest appearance from Bankroll Freddie, East Haiti Baby: Incarcerated is available all on platforms via Paper Route Empire.

Big Moochie Grape burst onto the scene in 2019, with boisterous Memphis rap tunes like “Uh Huh Uh Huh Uh Huh,” which appeared on his debut EP, Eat Or Get Ate. Inspired by his late PRE mentor Young Dolph, Moochie went hard in 2022, releasing East Haiti Baby, home to street hits like the Bandplay-produced “Acting Up” (30 million Spotify streams) and “Christopher Wallace” (10 million Spotify streams). The mixtape earned praise from Pitchfork, who said, “the Young Dolph associate’s latest album is full of hard-working hustler music that never lets up.”

Now that he’s free, Big Moochie Grape is hellbent on stepping on necks throughout 2024 and beyond. Stay tuned for much more music from the “Gigantic” rapper as the year moves along.
