How you Gonna Cook Crack When You Can't Even Cook Breakfast

Fetty What?

I download the US and UK Top 100 every now and then to find out what will be playing on Australian stations in six months. It’s an interesting study to compare both countries but it’s fair to say the US is country heavy, but it never makes the top 30, and the UK is dance floor heavy.

What I don’t get is this man called Fetty Wap. He dominated the top 20 in October and I’ve barely heard of him.

Drake, Kanye, Selena, love you. Know you. Justin and Taylor yes you’re OK. Wouldn't kick you out of bed but not overly keen.

The Weeknd, knew you’d be massive since your first hit. Love.

Fetty “how you gonna cook crack when you can't even cook breakfast” - where did you come from? And where did you get your name? And why do you and your Remy boys spend so much time in your songs cooking pies and crack? It's very interesting and makes for good music.

According to the internet, young Willie Maxwell was born in 1991, grew up in surburban New Jersey and decided to become a rapper and call himself Fetty, which means money. So far, so normal.

I like him. He sounds like a mix between Drake, Kanye and Jeremih. I love the originality of his beats.

He’s been cosigned by Kanye and is a rapidly  rising star.

He is sure to win either Best New Artist or Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Artist at the American Music Awards. I’d go for both.
