By the end of this summer, Fetty's first three commercially released singles were all in the top 11 of Billboard's pop chart, a feat last accomplished by four guys with similarly prodigious melodic facility: The Beatles. A little boy in Colorado stopped wearing his prosthetic eye because Fetty made asymmetry alright.

Fetty freestyled on it, Peoples took it home to mix and his six-year-old son couldn't stop singing the melody. A little while later Peoples was working on something else, nosed around and came across Tony Fadd's beat for " Trap Queen." Peoples thought they might have something right there. Fetty got in the booth, Peoples heard him ad-lib "Yaaa baby" and stopped him right there. In the fall of 2013, Fetty Wap, who'd been rapping a bit, was introduced to an engineer and producer who goes by Peoples. However, you can still listen with the Spotify playlist at the bottom of the page.Ĭover art for Fetty Wap.

Note: NPR's Audio for First Listens comes down after the album is released. I'll leave it up to you to decide if this one belongs in the Hallmark section of evergreen Christmas tunes, alongside Cole's " The Christmas Song," Crosby's " White Christmas" or Carey's " All I Want for Christmas is You," or if it belongs in the regift pile with Twisted Sister's " I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus," Carnie and Wendy Wilson's " Hey Santa," or Paul McCartney's " Wonderful Christmastime."Īs an additional gift from Fetty to his fans, he has also announced his upcoming tour dates and will play the Aztec Theatre on Saturday, March 12.Fetty Wap's new album, Fetty Wap, comes out September 25. Nevertheless, he has released a sincere Christmas jam with his Zoo Gang homie Monty, and it's really not that bad. Of course, there's always the Bing Crosbys, Mariah Careys and Nat King Coles, who were born to slather the airwaves with their smooth-as-nog croons of glad tidings and holiday cheer, but Fetty Wap just isn't on that level. Perhaps less when you're a platinum-certified artist and you know people like myself feed their families by sharing the link to the seasonal ditty proffering for clicks and attention, nevertheless, it's a precarious step. Money talks It takes guts to release a Christmas carol.
