ABOUT OLA RUNT

Ola Runt, an emerging artist from the Zone 6 neighborhood of Edgewood, Atlanta, has been quickly generating buzz in the city and beyond. He began developing his distinctive sound and lyricism in his early teens, cooking up in the studio, which his father built to get him off the streets, for nearly two years before releasing any music. He cites Gucci Mane, Boosie Badazz and NBA YoungBoy as inspirations. As Ola’s musical growth progressed, he started gaining attention from his neighborhood and local peers with tracks like “Brazy Story” Remix, “Monkey Bars” and “Feel Like Guwop,” which picked up organic airplay from local DJs. As the rest of Atlanta took notice, he continued building excitement with collaborations from Young Nudy and 645AR, while working on his debut EP. On March 13, 2020, Ola released his first body of work entitled Mama Tried, featuring standout production from Bankroll Gotit, Yung Tago and Yung Lando, to name a few. The lead single, “Feel Like Guwop,” earned him co-signs from Lil Baby, 21 Savage, Meek Mill, and Southside, and the music video pays homage to the legacy of an Atlanta music scene innovator, Gucci Mane. After hearing the track, Gucci took Ola under his wing as ‘The New 1017’ and included Ola as a featured artist on his upcoming compilation album. Ola is now gearing up for the June 26th release of his Beggin 4 a Body [Front Street/Cinematic Music Group] mixtape, executive produced by Gucci Mane. Atlanta is consistently breeding superstars, with the streets of Zone 6 specifically known as one of the meccas for street raised mega-talents. However you choose to define it, there’s a new wolf walking the Eastside streets.
