FattMack, a rising rapper from Mobile, Alabama, has already faced a lifetime’s worth of experiences in just 20 years. In a feature with XXL, he shared that he lost about 140 pounds after weighing nearly 300 when he was only 15. In another interview with Viper Mag, he opened up about that time in his life, admitting how embarrassed he once felt. He’s also endured the pain of losing a close family member, a moment so emotional that he broke down while recording a song in their memory. FattMack’s openness and honesty have earned him genuine respect from fans—and it’s a quality that continues to shine through in his music.

His latest track, “IRL,” feels like another heartfelt session of reflection. In it, he pours out his emotions over a girl he used to be deeply involved with, confessing that he’s turned to meaningless flings to fill the void she left behind. The song captures his mix of pain, confusion, and vulnerability, making it one of his most personal releases yet. You can listen to “IRL” below.
