YTB Fatt releases new EP ‘Vera Volpe: The Prelude’ (feat. Lil Baby, Loe Shimmy, Fox BD)
West Memphis, Arkansas rapper YTB Fatt has released his new EP VERA VOLPE: THE PRELUDE, out now via Loaf Boyz Ventures / 10K Projects. With features from Lil Baby, Loe Shimmy and Fox BD (who is also his twin brother), this EP assembles a cast of southern rap stars. On Vera Volpe: The Prelude, YTB Fatt makes visceral West Memphis street rap, pairing menacing Southern trap production with an elastic drawl, candid storytelling and punchlines that move between pain, menace and triumphant excess. The title translates from Italian as “true fox,” extending the iconography Fatt has carried since he named his crew for the wild foxes that run the back roads of Foxwood, the West Memphis neighborhood he came up in. The EP is the first project Fatt has put out under his own name since last summer’s DA FOXPRINT, and is a prelude to the Vera Volpe album that Fatt announced earlier this month.
VERA VOLPE: THE PRELUDE caps a stretch that has kept YTB Fatt on other rappers’ records as often as his own. A 2025 XXL Freshman, he opened 2026 in January on Dee Mula’s “Greedy N****s,” then joined Lil Yachty, G Herbo, G Youngin and BTY Beedo on the March remix of Rob49’s “Da Fuxk.” On April 2nd he posted “I’m Back” to Instagram and YouTube, answering false reports that he had been shot and killed in West Memphis the day before. He turned up on Montana 700’s “Foxx Flow” later that month and released “I Gotcha Bitch” with Fox BD on July 7th. Three days later, the pair joined Rob49 on “300 Blackout,” a third go-round for Fatt and Rob49 after 2023’s “Bet I Whip It” and last year’s “Yessirski.” Fox BD has been the constant through it: the two traded verses on “Hit The Curb” from DA FOXPRINT, and Fox BD pulled Fatt onto “Skoot Over Or Get Rolled Over” in December.
