"Today, Fat Tony is sharing a new album. MacGregor Park is his fourth studio album and follows 2013's Smart Ass Black Boy. MacGregor Park has been in the works since 2014, and features production from Rogét Chahayed, who is best-known for co-producing D.R.A.M's hit "Broccoli." The album pays homage to a memorable childhood park in Fat Tony's hometown neighborhood of Third Ward in Houston and is a reflection on the carefree times of his adolescence. 

"In 2014, I read the book 'Hip Hop in Houston: The Origin and the Legacy' by Maco L. Faniel and learned the very first rap single ever released in Houston was named "MacGregor Park,'" recalls Fat Tony. "That's when I knew what to call this album."

[Fat Tony / Chorus]
Riding 'round the city
Just touched down in L.A.
Dancing like I'm Diddy (take that!)
Coming straight up out the tré
That's Macgregor Park
Straight out Third Ward
Almeda boulevard
H-Town to L.A.

[L.A. SkyyWalker]
Glock 45 for a fuck nigga
In L.A. we don't trust niggas
Fat Tony touched down, then he hit me up, nigga
Ten thick bitches rolling up blunts
And we only sippin' Actavis up in our double cup, nigga
Y'all niggas sippin' Hi-Tech
Y'all niggas ain't high yet
Guaranteed a plane, I ain't fly yet
Fuck my bitch for hella hours
Pussy ain't dry yet

[Fat Tony]
Yes, still at Pappadeaux with a lot of hoes
See, we smoke sweets
Say no to Optimos
Had to holler at JO$E, he stay in the Mo'
Not a pimp but I'll make a bitch touch her toes
Touchdown, hut one
And I hit a home run
LAPD, where's the weed?
Let me buy some
I'm from Third Ward, so I gotta have a threesome
If I meet the right Latina
I might give her, like, three sons

[Chorus]

[JO$E]
I swear that I love California (west side!)
From the H but I feel like I was born here
I'm feeling like I gotta warn ya
Fuck with us and your family mourn ya
Got a bitch from the H that be going both ways
She want a hotel and fuck me for four days
She going straight in, she don't fuck with four play
Turned around, fucked my homie
With that bitch whore ways

[Fat Tony]
I ball like the Lakers
Open like the Oakland Raiders
Yeah, she saw me in The Fader
Now we chillin' on La Brea
In Atwater, had to jump up in the mayor's daughter
Used to do the do in Malibu, right by the water
I used to hold her down like Sgt. Slaughter
But I had to cancel her like Nino in the Carter
Hollered at a Filipina, now she making me the father
But I still got senoritas waiting for me at the border

MacGregor Park
Grooving on a Sunday
The sweetest park
Nigga, let's have a fun day
Just got a fresh fade
Frenchy's on my plate
MacGregor on Sunday

Southside of the H, born and raised in the tré
And I'll put three fingers in your motherfucking face
I do it for the city but a nigga ain't Drake
Don't think that the H just all about drank
Now a days some may say that the boy is a saint
Back in the day I was bad boy like Mase
In the park, after dark, drinking Mad Dog
Me and my niggas and some girls tryna have a ball
I remember one time
It was half past 9:00pm
Cop car pulled up
Everybody ducked down in the truck
Cop said, "where's the blunt?"
Didn't wanna give it up
Had a vision of prison and didn't wanna budge
Didn't have a lot so I threw out the bud
Officer, can you show a little love to a thug?
(Don't move!)
Then I seen the gun by his side
Fire in his eyes
I gotta ride out, slide out
Head out to the hideout
Hit 'em in the nuts
Hope the judge don't find out

Sunday, hit H-E-B on OST
Start cooking 'round 3:00pm
Heard a horn, Lord, who could it be?
Is that my nigga Bun B?
Nah, it's a B tryna S my D
Want me to take her to MacGregor, hit it on the leaves
In the fall, in the winter, in the summer and the spring
She throw that P on a G
José, get the ice and the models and the bottle
It don't matter 'bout the price
Just make it nice
I got dice, who got cash?
Play a stack if you 'bout that
Spend a little, make a lot back
Take a catnap
Wake up, then I break a nigga for more racks
I threw 9 down, 5 down
His watch is mine now
And a Louis purse
Hope his girl don't find out

Played a game of 21, had to hit 'em with a layup
Made 'em jump when I Kriss Krossed like A.I.
Then I saw a couple laid up
Told the lovebirds stay fly
Hey ya, if you shake it like a Polaroid
Throw it on ya boy
Yep, bring it this way now
It's a beautiful day in the tré
I ball and parlay without the bald fade now
I got respect for the west and the nawf
But the southside of the city
Niggas sitting real pretty
3rd Ward, from the gritty to the saditty
South Park where anybody really can get it
Telephone Road all the way to Mo City
Yellastone yellabones got big titties
If you rep but you ain't got a rep really
I'm not a Que Dog, y'all can't step with me
One day in the park niggas stepped to me
Cause they heard that a girl wanna get with me
Now they say they homeboy wanna get with me
I said, "really? Y'all don't wanna get silly."
He hit me with a right, I hit 'em with a left
Out of breath
Heart beating right up out my chest
Get down, head down
Hit 'em with your best now
My face a mess
But they'll never wanna plex now

Somewhere between DJ Screw and Bad Brains, De La Soul and Scritti Politti sits Houston’s native son, Fat Tony. For the last decade, Anthony Lawson Jude Ifeanyichukwu Obiawunaotu has been everywhere: from star-making turns on the first A$AP Rocky mixtape to hosting shows on Viceland and Super Deluxe, to co-founding a DIY culture magazine to playing every worthwhile rap party in America and burning the stage down every single time. A singular and experimentally-minded rap artist adept at both traditional regional styles and indie pop, hardcore thrash and melodic candy-painted bangers. He is punk in the platonic sense of the word: experimental and subversive, but also funny, whimsical, and virtuosic. 

Over the course of more than a half-dozen LPs, and countless other short-form gems and collaborations with everyone from Das Racist to Bun B, Fat Tony has reimagined and blurred the boundaries of hip-hop. There are a few things you can depend on in this schizophrenic world. About once or twice a year, Fat Tony will drop an album and it will sound like nothing that he has done before. There’s a spirit of creative restlessness and intelligence that runs through his deep discography. He is a national treasure, one of those rappers destined to seem forever underrated until you ask around and realize that everyone in their right mind likes Fat Tony. He is the Whataburger of rappers: if you know you know. 

Raised in Houston’s historically black and culturally radical neighborhood, the Third Ward, Tony’s mom and teachers educated him from the get-go about how this was the regional cradle for the Black Panther Party -- and how BP hero, Carl Hampton, was murdered by the Houston Police Department. It was an environment where social awareness and Pan-Africanism were always around and celebrated. His childhood home was filled with records—country music, King Sunny Adé, and Jimmy Cliff from his father’s collection, his mother’s classical music, rock, and soul, and his granny’s gospel. Then as a teenager, empowered by the internet and his discovery of independent artists like E-40, Bikini Kill, and Bad Brains, Fat Tony began recording and distributing his own music. Heavily influenced by renowned Texas rappers like UGK and Scarface, Fat Tony started playing and organizing live shows at a time when there wasn’t much of a scene for young artists in Houston. He started booking bands of all types from all over, hand-making flyers for the shows and mailing them to addresses nabbed from the Carnegie Vanguard High School student directory. 

His dedication to Houston’s rap scene earned him Houston Press Music Awards’ “Best Underground Hip Hop Artist” in 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2013. Primed for more national audiences, Fat Tony began taking his music on tour and collaborated with more artists around the country. His sonically unpredictable and emotionally vulnerable music has garnered praise from Pitchfork, The Fader, and Noisey. His achievements in rap have pushed him out of his comfort zone into other performance and hosting opportunities on TV and the Internet. This fall, Fat Tony releases Exotica on Carpark Records. It heralds his most visionary work yet, an ode to the art of storytelling through music. A rich and compact iteration of rap short fiction that firmly establishes him as his own one-man genre, the preeminent post-modern griot shooting game.
