Fat Tony (Anthony Lawson Obi) has been working that sound for a while. The man behind Houston-centric releases such as
RABDARGAB (a tribute to an HISD reading program) and
MacGregor Park blends classic ’90s country, R&B, and rap to create a sound that has been described as a “one-man genre.” (His TikTok mixing Brooks & Dunn and Too $hort has gone viral.) Now mega brand Pepsi is taking notice of the phat and Fat musician as part of its The Taste of Your Texas road-trip campaign and mini documentary series. The tour, which highlights trailblazing Texans, stops by all major cities and centers on four stars. In Houston, Fat Tony releases an exclusive video (watch it here) for “Gambling Man (Mariachi Remix),” accompanied by a 12-piece mariachi ensemble.

Now mega brand Pepsi is taking notice of one local up-and-coming barbecue belle as part of its The Taste of Your Texas road-trip campaign and mini documentary series. Meant to amplify the spirit and diverse stories of trailblazers in food, music, art, and sports that only the Lone Star State could produce, the new campaign kicks off with Pepsi’s virtual road trip around Texas, starting in Austin with a visit with Eliana Gutierrez of Valentina’s Tex-Mex BBQ, the youngest female pitmaster in the country.
