FBLManny Takes to the Skies With Airplane Mode EP, Out Now on All Platforms
The 21-Year-Old ATL Rapper Shares “Nonstop,” the New Video for an EP Highlight
The Follow-Up to Manny’s Recent Collaborative Project With OMB Peezy, OverKrash, Airplane Mode is a 7-Track Showcase for the Young Rapper’s Prodigious Melodic Talents
The EP + Video:
FBLManny is rising in Atlanta with his soulful and melodic trap anthems. The 21-year-old rapper proves that the sky is the limit with Airplane Mode, his new EP. Aided by the soundscapes of producer Enzo Da$h, who had a hand in 6 of the EP’s 7 tracks, Airplane Mode is a confessional document from an artist in the midst of a life-changing moment–after all his hard work, his rap star dreams are on the verge of coming true. Expressing himself with soaring melodies, the young artist celebrates his high-flying lifestyle on songs like the stutter-stepping “Rainbow Wrist” and the shimmering “Button Boyz,” touting the APs on his wrist and the V6 in his foreign car. On more reflective singles, like the recent single “Airplane Mode,” FBLManny explores the flip side of fame, struggling with the expectations that come with making it out of his hood and bristling at the rockstar lifestyle’s lack of privacy. Quickly following up OverKrash, Manny’s joint mixtape with mentor OMB Peezy, Airplane Mode EP is available on all platforms via FBL Entertainment / Hitmaker Music Group.
Along with the EP, Manny shares the music video for “Nonstop,” an Airplane Mode highlight. Blessed with a beat by Enzo Da$h and Fursace, “Nonstop” is a simmering slice of melodic trap, with booming 808s, twinkling chimes, and gently-plucked guitars providing a runway for Manny to take off. The rapper pays tribute to forebears like Migos and Roddy Ricch before he touts his unshakeable work ethic: “I’m working nonstop/Gripping on glocks, see the cops I won’t stop,” he asserts. In the video, directed by Fursace, Manny shoows off his life of luxury, as he raps from his mansion’s balcony and displays the suicide doors on his foreign cars.
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. In May 2025, FBLManny teamed up with OMB Peezy to release OverKrash. 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.
Now, with Airplane Mode EP and OverKrash out, and with 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.”
