FBLManny Prepares For 6/20 Airplane Mode EP, Shares Video For the Melodic “Airplane Mode“
Following Up the 21-Year-Old’s Recent Collaborative Project With OMB Peezy, OverKrash, Airplane Mode Displays the Young Atlanta Native’s Skill With Plaintive Melodies
The Announcement:
Inspired by ATL’s shapeshifting greats, FBLManny turns heads with his distinct melodic sensibilities. The 21-year-old rapper seeks to show off that tunefulness on his upcoming EP, Airplane Mode, coming on June 20th via FBL Entertainment / Hitmaker Music Group.
Today, Manny keeps his momentum going, sharing “Airplane Mode,” his soaring new single and music video. Slicing through airy synths and crisp trap percussion with his plaintive tenor, Manny shuts out all distractions to process his pain and lock into the grind: “Phone on airplane mode, I ain’t even on the plane/Lil’ miss tryna leave, I let her go, keep it goin’ like a train/Mama said she wanna quit her job, so she can pull our range/That’s my dog, so Imma throw the lob, cause he gon’ do the same,” lilts Manny. In the video, the young rapper flexes in an airport terminal, showing off his neck and his wrist and leaving all his worries at baggage claim.
The upcoming Airplane Mode EP quickly follows OverKrash, Manny’s recent joint project with OMB Peezy. Driven by Peezy’s soaring triplets and Manny’s taffy-like vocals, OverKrash is a heartfelt and motivational effort, speaking directly to those in the struggle with relatable narratives and ushering them forward with invigorating words of wisdom. Spanning 13 tracks, The new tape is home to recent singles like “How U Feelin‘,” a theme song for lifelong hustlers, “New Dallas,” a bass-heavy banger, and “Work,” released alongside the project. With production from heavy-hitters like Will-A-Fool and Drum Dummie, OverKrash is available everywhere via Overkill Entertainment/ FBL Entertainment / Blac Noize! / Hitmaker Music Group.
21-year-old FBLManny is well on his way to success, popping in Atlanta with regional hits like “Patrick Bev” and collaborating with fellow risers like Raq Baby. A young OG, Manny started rapping when he was just 10 years-old, recording songs in his living room under the watchful eye of his mom. Manny dropped his first project, U Know The Vibes, as a 16-year-old in 2019, and has followed with several accomplished tapes, including 2025’s Cat Music 3.
Now, with OverKrash out and much more music on the way, Manny is ready to make a name for himself on the national scene. Stay tuned for more.

The Background:
A collision of stylish melodies and visceral reality raps, OMB Peezy and FBLMANNY deliver aspirational theme songs for the trenches. After building their respective fan bases, the two blend their talents for OverKrash, an electric constellation of pummeling anthems and streetwise lyricism. It’s music to crash out to. But it’s just as much about the relentlessness of the hustle, a theme the two reflect on for “New Dallas,” a kinetic single from their new joint project. Coated in expressive melody and lucid blockboy recollections, it’s all as confrontational as it is anthemic — a throughline for artists savvy enough to make it out the other end of a crash out. Years before they connected professionally, Peezy and FBLMANNY made their respective ways through the industry. By 2017, Peezy had developed a niche as one of the most distinctive artists in hip-hop — an Alabama-bred, Bay Area-based spitter with a Boosie-tinged vocality and a knack for trenchant street poetry. Since then, projects like Young & Restless (2018), Preacher to the Streets (2019), In the Meantime (2020), Misguided (2022), Still Too Deep (2024), and Drifting Away (2025) only fortified his fanbase, which was again reignited when GloRilla remixed his breakout single, “Lay Down,” eight years after its release. For his part, FBLMANNY has used vivid songwriting and a knack for melody to power his own rap level up, with projects like U Know The Vibes (2019), Me Vs. Me (2023), Crash the System (2024), and Cat Music 3 (2025) making him an emerging force in the ATL. Connecting from Alabama to Cali to Atlanta, Peezy and FBLMANNY look forward to the places their OverKrash can take them. “We’re bringing ourselves into different worlds,” says Peezy. “We’re jumping through dimensions.”
