Paul Wall and That Mexican OT have delivered a visual for their second collaboration, “Covered In Ice,” which appeared on Wall’s 2023 album The Great Wall.
Directed by D. Will Get It Done, and released on Friday (April 12), the video finds the pair trade bars about wealth, opulence, and dripping in diamonds for the fifth track off of The Great Wall.
“My mouthpiece is a light show/ Sialoquent, cause light snow/ Head-to-toe dry, ice cold/ Wristwear Lite Brite, dynamite, might blow,” Wall raps.
Later in the track, That Mexican OT spits, “Got a grill so shiny, got me feelin’ like The People’s Champ/ The way I wrote my song, got it soundin’ like it was Bandcamp/ Walkin’ with a stick, got me feelin’ like Little Bamm-Bamm/ Yoppers and choppers, gonna pop ’em, they goin’ blam-blam.”
Back in March, That Mexican OT dropped his sophomore album, Texas Technician, and he brought along DaBaby, Paul Wall, and more for the ride.
The Texas native revealed the tracklist with a callback to the 2000s as he shared a picture of a blank CD that had the songs written on it. Alongside the aforementioned names, Slim Thug, Moneybagg Yo, Fredo Bang, and Z-RO are also among the featured guests.
In a whirlwind year, 2024 DX Rising Star That Mexican OT skyrocketed to fame with his smash hit “Johnny Dang,” paying homage to the famed Houston jeweler to the stars. The summer anthem — which also features Johnny’s business partner Paul Wall — not only graced the Billboard Hot 100 chart for 11 weeks but also earned a RIAA gold certification.
Capitalizing on his success, the 24-year-old Bay City, Texas rhymer dropped his debut studio album Lonestar Luchado, marked by a memorable performance at a Houston Spotify concert and coveted spot on the platform’s Most Necessary playlist. Fusing his Tejano roots with influences from East Coast heavyweights like Slick Rick, Eminem, and Big Pun, the 18-track project features standout tunes like “Groovin,” “Skelz” and “Missed Calls.”
Kicking 2024 off with a bang, OT (meaning “outta Texas”) unveiled the visual treatment for “02.02.99,” which will be the opening track on the new album.
He also previously released the DaBaby-assisted “Point Em Out” earlier this month, along with a video.
Perry Farrell has released another public apology following an on-stage confrontation involving his bandmate Dave Navarro.
The Jane's Addiction frontman was involved in a physical altercation with guitarist Dave Navarro last year during a live performance, an incident that prompted the band to cancel their reunion tour and eventually led to their split.
“I'd like to address what happened on stage last year,” Perry, 66, said in a statement shared across both his personal Instagram account and Jane's Addiction’s official page. “I've reflected on it and know I didn't handle myself the way I should have. I apologize to our patrons and my bandmates for losing my temper and for disrupting the show.”
He went on to admit that he did not meet fan expectations and described himself as deeply remorseful toward everyone impacted by the incident.
“Jane's Addiction has been at the center of my life for decades. The band, the songs, the patrons, and the impact that we've had on music and culture mean more to me than any words I could ever possibly write down,” he shared.
“My aim has always been to give our audience the best possible show, something real, honest and positive. In Boston, we fell short of that, and I'm truly sorry to everyone who was impacted.”
Jane's Addiction also issued its own statement regarding the altercation, which ultimately led to the group’s remaining members filing a lawsuit against Perry alleging assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of contract.
“Today we are here to announce that we have come together one last time to resolve our differences, so that the legacy of Jane's Addiction will remain the work the four of us created together,” the band wrote, signaling that the group would not move forward with Perry. “We now look forward to the future as we embark on our separate musical and creative endeavors.”
