Waco, TX rapper Hotboy Wes has shared his eagerly awaited label debut mixtape, Left For Dead Vol. 1. Left For Dead Vol. 1 is highlighted by the premiere of the brand new single, "Choppa City (Feat. Moneysign Suede & BigXthaPlug)," joined by an official companion video. Further highlights include such heavy hitters as "B&R (Feat. BigWalkDog)," "Renegade (Feat. Finesse2tymes)," "Free Smoke (Feat. Big Scarr)," and the fan favorite "My Little Dance (Feat. Gucci Mane)," all joined by official music videos at Hotboy Wes' popular YouTube channel. Hailing from "the hardest hood in Waco," the young rapper shuffled in and out of juvenile detention centers through his teenage years. Still, Hotboy Wes took every opportunity possible to freestyle on social media, building a loyal audience and regularly cracking over 100K views. Following a bid in penitentiary, Hotboy Wes came home and cooked up 2019's Never Had Shit mixtape, featuring the breakthrough track, "I Can't," which quickly eclipsed 2M views and increased his buzz throughout the industry. Encouraged by the project's success, Hotboy Wes sent Gucci Mane a direct message on Instagram stating simply, "I'm hard. You've got to sign me." To his surprise, the multiplatinum rap icon soon FaceTimed and invited him to become a member of his evolving The New 1017 label roster.
