MacGregor Park by Fat Tony
"Today, Fat Tony is sharing a new album. MacGregor Park is his fourth studio album, and follows 2013's Smart Ass Black Boy. MacGregor Park has been in the works since 2014, and features production from Rogét Chahayed, who is best-known for co-producing D.R.A.M's hit "Broccoli." The album pays homage to a memorable childhood park in Fat Tony's hometown neighborhood of Third Ward in Houston, and is a reflection on the carefree times of his adolescence.
"In 2014, I read the book 'Hip Hop in Houston: The Origin and the Legacy' by Maco L. Faniel and learned the very first rap single ever released in Houston was named "MacGregor Park,'" recalls Fat Tony. "That's when I knew what to call this album."

No artist personifies the DIY culture of both underground hip-hop and Houston as perfectly as Fat Tony, who stormed through the indie-rap gates more than a decade ago. He’s found himself as an artist among fellow Houstonians who mix inward-looking pathos with storytelling and a swagger all their own—from Devin the Dude to Scarface—as well as like-minded iconoclasts such as Prince.
