— Officially released on his 25th birthday, rising Bay City, Texas rapper That Mexican OT recruits DaBaby for his single “Point ‘Em Out” and its Pulp Fiction-inspired music video.
With his gracefully rolled “r’s” and Texas-sized charisma, That Mexican OT can go bar-for-bar with rap’s best. Going toe-to-toe with another triplet titan on his new banger, OT shares “Point ‘Em Out,” his new collaboration with DaBaby. Applying his Southeast Texas drawl to the thumping minimalist beat, produced by SoCal hitmakers Bankroll Got It, OT sends a stern warning to anyone who would dare break his strictly enforced Omerta, his bars dripping with double-entendres and slick witticisms with rhymes like, “Leave him flat just like a torta, run with killers like an orca/No matter where it is, no matter where I’m at because to me no me importa.” DaBaby later steps in for the second verse, delivering a motor-mouthed manifesto of his own.
Directed by OT’s regular shooter Dorian Green, also known as DGreen Filmz, the video for “Point ‘Em Out” is a tribute to Pulp Fiction, with a plot, wardrobe, and even title font that echoes Quentin Tarantino’s 1994 classic. OT and DaBaby portray Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield, as they hunt a valuable briefcase and torment anyone in their way.
“Point ‘Em Out” is That Mexican OT’s second new single of 2024, following the sinister “02.02.99,” which is quickly becoming a breakthrough hit. Released in early January, the song has generated over 16 million streams across platforms. “02.02.99” is currently sitting at #74 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week, after debuting at #88 the week before.
“Point ‘Em Out” and “02.02.99” continue OT’s hot streak, which started last summer and made him one of the most exciting breakthrough rap stars of 2023. He started his legendary run with “Johnny Dang” ft. Drodi & Paul Wall, which spent 12 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, earned GOLD status from the RIAA, and appeared on Lonestar Luchador, his acclaimed album. Acclaimed by Pitchfork (7.5), Lonestar Luchador came out last July, boasting highlights like the bi-lingual banger “Barrio” ft. Lefty SM, the melodic and guitar-inflected revenge anthem “Breannan,” and the villainesque stomper “Cowboy Killer.” Lonestar Luchador made an immediate impact, reaching #1 on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart and peaking at #59 on the Billboard 200. Later in the year, OT embraced a Texas rap tradition when he shared Lonestar Luchador (Chopped Not Slopped), remixed by DJ Lil Steve of the legendary collective The Chopstars. Featuring additional guest appearances from BigXThaPlug and Big Yavo, Lonestar Luchador is available everywhere via Manifest/GoodTalk/Good Money Global.
Last fall, That Mexican OT completed the Lonestar Luchador Tour, the Bay City native’s first-ever headlining tour, selling out dozens of dates across the country. The rapper earned “Best Of 2023” notices from The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Billboard, Complex, and Pitchfork.
