OMB Peezy is a rising star out of Mobile Alabama that has been making a huge impact on his city. It’s about time that Alabama enters the airwaves, and OMB Peezy is definitely someone we have been looking at.
What we didn’t expect was for him to remix Soulja Slim’s classic “Soulja Life Mentality“, shoot a video for it, and drop it on our heads like he did. We’ve been hearing a lot of young rappers pay homage to classic rappers lately. NBA Young Boy (Diamond Teeth Samurai), and Rae Sremmurd (Powerglide) are a couple of recent hits.
What we love most about the song, is that he used it as a chance to highlight police brutality in our communities. Police brutality isn’t a new phenomenon, and Peezy let us know this by resurrecting a classic hit for new ears to hear.
If you’ve never heard of OMB Peezy you need to get on before you start looking like a bandwagon. We are ready for what he has in store this summer, and salute him for paying homage to the New Orleans legend that is Soulja Slim.
