Critical Praise:

“It’s hard-working hustler music that never lets up, with a beat that never sleeps. Big Moochie Grape makes soundtracks not just for grinding, but for surviving.” – Pitchfork

The Project:

Specializing in cutthroat flexes and no-frills rap bangers, Big Moochie Grape is a force to be reckoned with in the Memphis rap game. Today, he celebrates Halloween in style with his new project EAT OR GET ATE 2.

The sequel to his breakout debut in 2020, EAT OR GET ATE 2 is stacked with street anthems, finding Moochie intimidating the competition with his tongue-twisting bars and frightening flexes. He sets the tone for the 12 track project with opener “Crip Blue Hundreds,” a previously-released banger celebrating his purchase of a new Mercedes Maybach. Keeping up the hustle-hard theme, Moochie reminds the haters he’s unwilling to lose on “Never Come Second,” a hypnotizing trap heater. Moochie outlines his rise to the top on “Bigg Azz Bands” ft. PRE’s own Key Glock and Kenny Muney: “I’m the same young n***a, turn my haters to fans / Know they f*cked up when I jumped out the can / Walk around with big a** bands,” Moochie raps. “Back In The Maybach” continues to highlight Moochie’s recent triumphs, with the East Memphis rapper asserting his big dog status over haunting keys.

Additional project highlights include the Key Glock-featuring “Manifest,” a stirring Memphis affair that find the Paper Route duo trading flexes and issuing a fierce warning to the competition: “I had to pop my sh*t, had to rub it in / Granny voice in my head like f*ck a friend / Dolph voice in my head, keep sayin’ get paid,” spits Glock. With additional features from Money Man on the cutthroat “No Favors,” as well as Big Scarr on the previously-released “Trap A Lil Harder,” EAT OR GET ATE 2 is available everywhere via Paper Route Empire.

Moochie’s journey to EAT OR GET ATE 2 began earlier this year, releasing the thrilling first-day-out single “Wake Em Up,” and creating a new music video for his 2022 track “Fun,” a collaboration with his mentor Young Dolph (2.4 million views). EAT OR GET ATE 2 follows up Moochie’s November 2023 project, East Haiti Baby: Incarcerated, a deluxe version of his 2022 mixtape that welcomed guest spots from fellow incarcerated rappers like YFN Lucci, Rio Da Yung OG, Bankroll Freddie, and PRE’s own Big Unccc.

With EAT OR GET ATE 2 out now, Big Moochie Grape is hellbent on stepping on necks throughout 2024 and beyond. Stay tuned for much more music from the East Memphis rapper as the year comes to a close.
