HOUSTON – Local rapper and producer Mark Drew is back with a new hype song, ‘Ready 2 Reign.’ He performed it live on Houston Life!
If you recall, Drew went viral last year with an Astros’ themed remix of the Jay-Z and Alicia Keys song ‘Empire State of Mind’ where he hyped Houston fans ahead of the World Series.
Last year during the hype, Mark recalls his phone instantly blowing up with love from local Houstonians and big named Astros players like Jeremy Peña and Alex Bregman.
He’s been making music for a very long time and is used to having support, but nothing like the unwavering love he’s since received.
Mark has also had fun interactions and collaborations with Mattress Mack, too! He says, “Mattress Mack is an amazing guy, I’ve done a little work with him after the World Series....and getting to talk to him, he’s just always so nice and has a smile on.”
Going from recording and producing from his home, to the Astros Victory Parade, it’s a surreal feeling for Drew, in hopes of turning his passions for music into a full time career.
His ultimate goal is to “Give honest music that gives people different feels,” in what he calls a rollercoaster of emotions!
He says he draws his inspiration from key moments in Astros games that would make great lyrics in a song!
Watch the video above for his full interview and live performance.
His music is available on all streaming platforms and his new single ‘Ready to Reign,’ is OUT NOW!
