New Jersey native Fetty Wap is living the dream. As he states in the new promo video for his album, “Last year I didn’t have an address… Now I have 5 addresses”. Avoiding the trap that has plagued Lil Durk, Migos and many other urban artists that popped recently, record label 300 has got to work to release Fetty Wap’s self-titled debut album on September 25th. In promotion of the project that currently has 3 #10 singles, Fetty has released the cover art and a freestyle over Future’s 56 Nights cut “Trap Niggas”. Fetty’s freestyle gives the song a new energy, with him even doing melodic runs towards the end.

Stream the “Trap Niggas” freestyle and watch 300’s promo video for Fetty Wap below.

Remember what Drake was able to do with iLoveMakonnen’s ‘Tuesday’? Well expect the same for Fetty Wap’s song ‘My Way’, as Drizzy took the ‘Trap Queen’ rapper’s track and added a classic Drake verse of his own. As you can expect, the collaboration is fire. The only question left to answer is how long before Drake signs Fetty Wap to his OVO Sound label?
