“Artist to watch…A South Florida rapper with a deeply scraped-up voice, extravagantly slurred syllables and a hardscrabble wit.” – The New York Times
“The South Florida native is Billboard’s Hip-Hop Rookie of the Month for April.” – Billboard
“Artist to Watch for 2025…Hard knocking trap anthems that draw equally from his home state and the digital underground.” – The FADER
The Announcement:
A red hot name in the South Florida rap scene, 1900Rugrat switched up his sound for Roll N’ Rock, embracing smoother sounds on his his ambitious new album. The 23-year-old Palm Beach County native welcomes one of his state’s most popular rappers into his world, recruiting YNW Melly for “Hypnotize,” an album highlight. Produced by SMKEXCLSV, “Hypnotize” is a percolating slice of laid back trap, with snapping percussion and airy synth arpeggios undergirding both rappers’ sing-song verses.
Directed by AnimatedByEn, the video for “Hypnotize” is a surreal and eye-catching piece of claymation, bringing 19 and Melly’s words to life. The video packs film references and lyrical references into each frame, creating an ultra-fly world that both rappers inhabit with effortless ease.
Last week, 1900Rugrat released Roll N’ Rock, his most diverse album to date. Following up this summer’s Fireman, Roll N’ Rock finds 19 working with a new sonic palette: the instrumentals boost the tempo, using analog synths to create a sound that evokes both 80s electro-funk and millenial “spaceship” R&B. 19 switches up his flow for each song, rhyming in sing-song cadences to turn his snapping punchlines into unforgettable hooks. The album spans 16 tracks, with highlights including the danceable recent single “What’s Ya Name,” which rides a neo-Neptunes bounce, the synth-y, laid back “Worry Bout Me,” and title track “Roll N’ Rock.” Featuring guest spots from YNW Melly, Judah Weston, Warhol, and Hollywood Twins, Roll N’ Rock is available on all platforms via Remain Solid / 300 Entertainment.
1900Rugrat’s second project of the year, Roll N’ Rock follows Fireman, a 21-track album released in June. Fireman is home to successful singles like “Dance Cracka” ft. BLP Kosher and “Every Season” ft. Skrilla, with additional guest spots from Hotboii, Slimesito, and 19’s close friend Rickfrmdacreek. The June 2026 mixtape capitalized on the momentum of 1900Rugrat’s massive 2025, highlighted by his placement on XXL’s 2025 Freshman List and the release of his debut full-length Porch 2 Da Pent. That album hosted “One Take Freestyle,” 19’s GOLD-selling breakout hit, and the Kodak Black-featuring “One Take Freestyle” (Remix). The Limestone Creek, FL native released his second mixtape, Big Ah Kidz, later in 2025.
Since his emergence over the past two years, 1900Rugrat has established himself as one of the hardest-working emcees on the planet. He’s earned praise from outlets like The New York Times, who praised “unpredictable rhyme choices” and his “preposterous punchlines,” anointing him an “Artist to watch,” and The FADER, who named him one of the 30 Coolest Artists Right Now. In recent months, 19 has collaborated with everyone from Tezzus to Star Bandz to That Mexican OT, appearing on remixes of songs by Skrilla and AB (aka former NFL receiver Antonio Brown). In addition to his music, 1900Rugrat is the CEO of his own BigAhKidz apparel company, which sells tees, polos, boy shorts, and, of course, rugs.
