PLATINUM-CERTIFIED PRODUCER, PLUGG PIONEER, AND RAPPER MEXIKODRO RELEASES NEW SINGLE & MUSIC VIDEO “REMY”

Showing no signs of stopping or slowing down anytime soon, Platinum-certified Atlanta producer, “plugg” pioneer, rapper, and artist MexikoDro serves up an intoxicating and inspired new single and music video entitled “Remy” out now.

“Remy” laces a thumping beat and skittering cymbals with a bright synth loop, tying up the track’s tight sonic backdrop in the process. MexikoDro barely has to raise his voice in order to make an impact. Instead, his recognizably croaky cadence slides across the grooves of the production, and he layers wisdom into his verses. At one point, he notes, “I’ll be tired in my bed, ‘round nine, why you always in the crib? ‘Cause it’s mine.” On his grind, he warns, “I’m too focused got no time for no mate.” He finally goes on to deliver a proclamation, “Life feel better cuz I got God with me,” rhyming it with the closing couplet, “Mexiko is drinking ‘Remy’.” In the accompanying video, he pulls up to an Atlanta gas station at night in a brand new white Range Rover. Donning a white fur hat and coat to match, he raps to the camera, exuding luxuriousness and the “grown man rap” vibes he’s become synonymous with.

The single lands in the wake of “Height.” Beyond gathering over 3.4 million Spotify streams and, it received widespread acclaim. Vice pegged it as one of “3 New Hip-Hop & R&B Songs You Must Hear This Week,” proceeding to rave, “He’s one of hip-hop’s few blue collar workers, extremely grounded with a penchant for old school rides.” REMIXD MAGAZINE professed, “His historic run won’t be ending anytime soon, as he is singlehandedly keeping hope alive.”

“Height” followed the release of “MARTA,” a song and video which channels the Golden Age of Atlanta trap with its vintage production anchored by thick 808s and a venomous bass line. Against this backdrop, he gets reflective as he throws it back to his days riding public transit—“MARTA” in Atlanta for those unfamiliar. He recalls, “Had to go harder ‘cause I ain’t tryna fuck around and be back on no Marta.” Upon its release, Pitchfork highlighted it as “the follow-up to his hype-stirring single ‘No Date,’” while artists like Yeat and Tyler, The Creator joined a growing wave of co-signs for his sound.

MexikoDro has already surged throughout the culture as an influential producer, cooking up tracks for everyone from Drake to Playboi Carti and Kodak Black. Along the way, he quietly unveiled his solo music, picking up the mic and introducing another side of his artistry. This March, he reached critical mass when he unleashed the rapidly rising banger “No Date.” It has already gathered nearly 10million Spotify streams and counting and climbed into the Top 10 on the US Shazam Chart. Not to mention, Lil Yachty shared a video of himself rapping to the song. Plus, he has claimed real estate on coveted playlists such as Spotify’s “Most Necessary,” “No Cap,” “Out The Mud,” and “Fresh Finds: Hip Hop,” to name a few.

Pitchfork gave a gleaming review of “No Date” stating, ““No Date,” produced by BapeBrazy, has been one of the breakout Atlanta underground rap songs of the year because MexikoDro feels like a throwback to a kind of heart-on-his-sleeve, blue-collar rapper who’s harder to come by in the performative internet era.”
