Kicking off a new chapter today, GRAMMY® Award-nominated multi-platinum rapper, producer, and philanthropist French Montana returns with a new single entitled “FWMGAB.” Get it HERE via Epic Records and watch the official music video HERE.
Flipping the horns from Omar Alfanno’s “Amores Como el Nuestro” into a classic New York summer anthem, “FWMGAB” (which stands for “Fuck Wit Me Get A Bag”) showcases French Montana as his best. The rap superstar unloads energetic bar after bar over a head-nodding beat, bringing back the braggadocio tenfold, boasting “fuck wit me, get a bag.” In the accompanying visual directed by Edgar Esteves [Lil Baby, Roddy Ricch], he makes a homecoming to The Bronx at Mott Haven Houses, welcomed by almost the entire hood. Matching the song’s raw and high energy, folks bust a move and sing along as French holds court before rapping atop Lady Liberty. It’s New York through-and-through.
“FWMGAB” paves the way for his anxiously awaited fourth full-length album, set to arrive this summer. For the record, French fully embraces his roots, showcasing a verbal dexterity and unpredictable flows that established him as a star in the first place. As such, he assembled a formidable body of work, illuminating his diverse musicality and indisputable knack for a banger, without forgetting where he came from.
Most recently, French Montana released the CB5 (Coke Boys 5) mixtape, his latest in a series of career-defining projects, while he graced the cover of XXL to open up about his journey thus far and this new phase in his celebrated career. He also reached another high watermark in 2020, eclipsing over 13 billion combined career streams (as reported by Variety).
In addition, French Montana continues to evolve as a brand ambassador and mogul as the current spokesperson for underwear brand Ethika in a multi-year deal.
Now, with his latest album, French Montana is reminding everybody of his greatness. Stay tuned for more soon.
