Produced by Metro Boomin and TM88, Nephew Texas Boy‘s new track, “The Pack Landed At 8:08,” serves as the title track from the 808 Mafia rapper’s latest project. Hailing from Houston’s Trinity Gardens neighborhood, a fresh out of prison Nephey 3X relocated to Atlanta in 2004 and sat down with SYS (Sign Ya Self) Records, when its in-house producer Zaytoven was working with a young, unknown rapper at the time, Gucci Mane. The result was the collaborative track “Icy” and since then, he’s been grinding. He explained how he came up with the title in an interview with Mass Appeal.
“I was sitting with myself one day and I was rolling me a blunt and I realized I’d ran out of weed,” he said. “So I called the weed man. And the weed man pulled up at 8:08. Coincidentally I’m an 808 Mafia member. So I said “You know what? The pack landed at 8:08.” That’s how we gon’ hit it. The package is gonna deliver at everybody front door.”
The mixtape also includes features from Waka Flocka Flame, Stalley and more. Listen to the track above.
