Ro$ama & That Mexican OT Perfect Their Texas Raps On “Show Me The Money”
Attacking soulful trap instrumentals like a stampeding bull, Dallas rapper Ro$ama is ready to separate himself from the crowd. The close friend of BigXThaPlug and 600 ENT. signee recruits fellow Lone Star State heavy-hitter That Mexican OT for “Show Me The Money,” his new single and music video.
Produced by 600 ENT. beatsmith Tony Coles, who adds slinky keys, cinematic strings, and entrancing flutes right out of a Blaxploitation soundtrack, “Show Me The Money” is a no frills ode to hustling. Ro$ama toe-tags the beat with thudding triplets, as he counts up his guala and talks his smack: “I got a leanin’ disorder/Tell the Mexican plug meet me at the border/I stuff all the racks in the folder/Then whip up a Baby Boy, Jody,” he spits.
OT contrasts Ro$ama’s force with some finesse, purring his drawly flexes at lightning fast speed. Directed by Jerry Morka, the video emphasizes Ro$ama’s mix between his humble upbringing and luxurious present, as he goes fishing on a local Dallas bridge before taking to the skies in his private jet.
“Show Me The Money” is the latest step in Ro$ama’s rise, as he looks to emerge from BigXThaPlug’s shadow as a star in his own right. The song and video follows recent releases for bangers like “Bump Down” and “Stomp Step,” which will appear on Orange Tape, Ro$ama’s upcoming debut EP, coming later this year via 600 ENTERTAINMENT/UnitedMasters.
Born and raised in Dallas, Ro$ama has been on his grind for years. He and BigXThaPlug grew up together, sharpening each other’s rap skills like iron sharpens iron as they spent their days hustling and waiting for a big break. In 2022, Ro earned his first solo recognition with his song “FedEx,” recorded while he worked for the delivery company.
After rapping with X on some of his earliest hits, including Ro$ama has become a key fixture on BigX’s 600 ENT. label, joining X and Yung Hood to create the collaborative EP MEET THE 6IXERS in Summer 2024. The acclaimed EP is home to the blockbuster title track, “Hell Yea,” a ferocious back-and-forth between X and Ro, and “Steppa Music,” Ro’s solo standout. Last summer, Ro and BigX collaborated for “Beast Mode,” a highlight from the official soundtrack of the blockbuster film Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.
Since MEET THE 6IXERS, BigX and Ro$ama have been inseparable. Ro joined X on his Fall 2024 “Take Care Tour,” performing as a supporting act on dates across the nation. Ro and X are on tour once again this year, hitting Dreamville Fest last weekend and this weekend, Ro joins X at Coachella, where the 6ixers will perform on April 13th and April 20th.
Stay tuned for much more from the talented Dallas native in Spring 2025.
