Another major voice in music is emerging out of the state of Virginia. Fresh Porter is raw, untapped talent looking to make the are to the next level. Throughout his latest project, OMDN, he takes listeners through the ups and downs of being an artist on the rise, but he also offers a look into what it takes to be a young, Black man making it out of his hometown, Petersburg. Along the way, he links up with Khari 1K, Pooh Shiesty, Pusha T and Trey Songz. OMDN also features production from Yung Lan, Emkay, SayZay and Mow.
“OMDN is [an] acronym for on my dead n*ggas, which is slang in Petersburg verbatim to the phrase On God; we usually reference our dead homeboys to show sincerity and honesty. The concept for the album came about while I was serving my 4-year sentence in prison. During my bid, I lost three close friends and wanted to do something to honor them. That’s why you see their faces on the cover instead of mine. OMDN also introduces our culture to the world through my music,” he said about his latest release.
OMDN is just the next step in the career of Fresh Porter. Beginning at 9 years old, the Virginia native began recording music and evolving his sound. Years later, his time has come to push his skills to the forefront. Check out his latest project below.
