That Mexican OT has signed with WME for worldwide representation, which feels less like a signing and more like a coronation. Because when you’re a cowboy-hat-wearing, corrido-tinged, Houston-by-way-of-Bay-City firestarter with a beard that’s become its own subgenre of Southern rap, you don’t just join a roster—you kick the doors open and say “We in here.”
His management remains with Good Money Global, and PR with Audible Treats, both of whom have had front-row seats to the rocket ride. That Mexican OT—real name Virgil René Gazca—has carved out a lane so specific it might as well come with a custom belt buckle. His breakout 2023 single “Johnny Dang,” featuring Paul Wall and Drodi, didn’t just nod to Houston’s rap legacy—it iced it out in full grillz and then put it on TikTok where it racked up tens of millions of views.
The momentum didn’t slow in 2024. OT dropped Texas Technician via Capitol Records, blending rapid-fire bars with Tejano flair, Southern trap, and a distinctly regional bravado that makes him both a student of the genre and a disruptor of it. He’s performed at Rolling Loud California, headlined Texas’ Fiesta de Taco, and brought that same kinetic energy to stages across the South and Midwest.
With over 5.7 million monthly listeners on Spotify, and a geographic spread that reads like a Southern rap tour itinerary—Dallas, Houston, Chicago, Atlanta, Charlotte—OT’s audience is growing faster than his beard (which is saying something).
