Remix: Lil Man J – “Whiskey For The Wine” ft. That Mexican OT
The 19-Year-Old South Carolina Native’s Heartfelt Country Ballad Has Been a Surprising Viral Success (20+ Million Streams Across Platforms), Earning a Co-Sign From Jelly Roll and Now a Remix Featuring That Mexican OT
The Remix:
At just 19-years-old, Lil Man J has faced many challenges in life and has handled them all with aplomb. The South Carolina native and musical omnivore surprised his fans earlier this year by releasing a country song, “Whiskey For The Wine,” which has earned viral traction and radio play. Today, the young artist looks to level up even further, recruiting That Mexican OT for “Whiskey For The Wine (Remix).”
Defined by J’s charming Southern drawl, the song discusses how passionate love turns toxic, using its central metaphor to illustrate how the young artist grapples with heartbreak and personal growth: “And my mom says I need Jesus, but my grandpa says I’m fine/Since I swapped whiskey for the wine to talk to God.” On the remix, OT borrows J’s melody, showing off his pipes as he sings about life in Bay City, Texas and hopes to make his late mom proud. As the two artists reflect on family, faith, and having fun, their voices entertwine, creating a true Southern fried anthem for the yearners and those trying to better themselves.
“Whiskey For The Wine” (Remix) continues Lil Man J’s incredible story, which started in the small town of Clover, South Carolina (just outside of Charlotte) where he was born. He grew up steeped in music, inhaling everything he could find–country, rock, hip-hop, and more–and writing his own songs in multiple genres. His rap song, “Cap Freestyle,” generated 30 million streams across platforms after its 2022 release. Even as he gained attention as a rapper, he kept his passion for country music alive, demonstrating his vocal ability with a cover of Zach Bryan’s “Something In The Orange” on TikTok.
Over the summer, he excited his loyal community of fans with “Whiskey For The Wine,” shocking fans who didn’t know his range. The song immediately gained traction, racking up tens of millions of streams, earning him a legion of new fans (including Jelly Roll, who sang the song while on stream), and placements in key country playlists on Spotify (including Next From Nashville, Fresh Finds Country, All New Country, and more) and Apple Music (including Today’s Country, Today’s Hits, Viral Country, and more). Now fully committed to making country music, the artist struck again with “Way Out,” another heartfelt country ballad.
What makes Lil Man J’s success even more impressive is that he has major physical disabilities: scoliosis (curved spine), distal arthogryposis (immovable joints in his fingers), a cleft palate, and two clubbed feet. Overcoming these challenges with a smile on his face, J continues to rack up achievements at an astounding rate, inspiring fans to pursue their dreams despite their obstacles.
Now signed to Blac Noize!, Lil Man J is ready to take the country world by storm. Stay tuned for much more.
