Texas Indie Hip Hop Artist Has Two Singles on Billboard Charts with Minimal Promotions
Hip Hop recording artist Fat Pimp has been enjoying success both locally (in his hometown of Dallas) and nationally. While his first single for Ball Hard Entertainment, Rack Daddy, has been dominating the airwaves and nightclubs in the southeastern region of the country, the success of his follow up single, I'm Getting Money has the artist with a total of two singles on the Billboard Charts. Debuting on the Bubbling Under R&B/Hip Hop Single chart on February 12, 2008 at #12, the single, I'm Getting Money is now #89 on Hot R&B/Hip Hop Song charts, while Rack Daddy is currently #14 on the Bubbling Under Chart, and moving up rapidly. More importantly all of this success is based solely on the strength of the music, and not promotion saturation campaign.



Even though Rack Daddy is just now reaching the charts, it was this single that initially gained Fat Pimp the recognition, and ear of his ever growing fan base. The following he has amassed in a short period of time, without any real promotion, can be seen in his Myspace stats. While his page has only been active for only two months the Rack Daddy craze has the earned the artist over 94,000 profile views and over 5,000 friends. The dance and the song, which both originated in Dallas, can now be heard in every club on this side of the Mason Dixon Line. His follow up single, I'm Getting Money, which features his group mate Jodean and depending on which city you're in either Ray Paul (of Yung Guerrillas Ent.) or Poebeezy (of PoeDiamond Ent) is showing spectators that this producer / rapper isn't a one trick pony. The song, an ode to the rewards of hard work, is helping the artist to set himself apart from the pack. Boasting classic southern bass, an infectious hook, I'm Getting Money is an exercise in lyrical capabilities and style. All signs point to continued success for Fat Pimp, and his star is sure to keep rising as the sky is the limit.
