Video: FMB DZ – “With A Bang” ft. Skilla Baby & The Glockboy
Detroit’s People’s Champ Heads to Sin City to Watch the Prizefight with Two of Motown’s Finest in the Latest Video From DZ’s Upcoming P Rock Baby Project
Critical Praise
“Detroit is arguably the hottest rap region in the U.S. right now, and FMB DZ is one of the foremost street rappers in the city at the moment.” – XXL
“Among the most talented [in Detroit], combining clever wordplay, and a natural ear for beats, with sobering storytelling” – The FADER
“Detroit is on the cusp of dominating the national hip-hop landscape like Atlanta once did, and FMB DZ is one of the city’s strongest talents” – HYPEBEAST
The Video:
FMB DZ‘s strikingly honest and effortlessly cinematic bars are packed with invaluable advice for any aspiring hustler. Connecting with two of his peers for a down-and-dirty Detroit posse cut, FMB DZ shares “With A Bang,” a new video single. The new song connects DZ with Skilla Baby and The Glockboy (formerly known as Glockboyz TeeJae), each rapper taking his turn painting a picture of the take-no-prisoners city they hail from with their 313-specific flows and memorable witticisms. In the video, the Motown trio takes a trip to Las Vegas in time for the recent prizefight between Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia. Surrounded by a posse of fellow Detroiters, they hotbox their hotel room before taking their SUV down The Strip.
Following the recent, San Francisco-set video for “Starting 5,” “With A Bang” is the latest video from P Rock Baby, DZ’s next project. Named after the neighborhood he grew up in–P Rock, short for Plymouth Road–in Eastside Detroit, an unassuming neighborhood that helped him develop the quick wits and hard lessons that enabled his hustler mentality. Though it’s rooted firmly in Detroit, the expansive album welcomes sounds from all regions, particularly from the West Coast where the project was recorded. Home to recent singles like the hard-charging “Mo Money Mo Problems“ and the glistening “The Show,” the P Rock Baby project arrives soon via Fast Money Boyz / EMPIRE.
Emerging in the mid-2010s, FMB DZ quickly took his place at the vanguard of the ascendant Detroit scene. He earned national recognition for his The Gift mixtape series, and made an impact with standalone projects like In My Bag and I Ain’t Gone Lie. Buoyed by local hits like “Hold Me Down” ft. GT and “DrippleDragons” ft. Sada Baby, DZ earned praise from the likes of XXL, HYPEBEAST, and The FADER, who praised him for combining “clever wordplay, and a natural ear for beats, with sobering storytelling.” In 2022, DZ shared his 16-song mixtape Back On Track, which featured guest spots from Louie Ray, Rmc Mike, Skilla Baby, and frequent collaborator Sada Baby.
With P Rock Baby on the way, FMB DZ continues to make waves in Detroit and beyond. Stay tuned for much more from the young OG in the near future.
