OMB Peezy sits down with Mornings with Mero to talk about his upcoming album Save Yourself (out October 16th), his growth journey, fatherhood, and breaking generational curses.
Topics covered:
How growing up in a singing household in Mobile, Alabama shaped his musical foundation
The breakthrough moment with “Lay Down” and taking music seriously at 18 after becoming a father while incarcerated
Why SAVE YOURSELF is his most introspective project yet — tackling mental health, masculinity, and the lesson that “you can’t pour from an empty cup”
The story behind “Heaven or Hell” — his sprinter van getting shot up after trying to distance himself from the wrong crowd
His message to women about body image, cosmetic surgery, and self-love
Fatherhood moments that made him proud — including his 11-year-old son’s marketing instincts and joke-telling skills
His surprisingly eclectic music taste: Lewis Capaldi, Sam Smith, Adele, Kings of Leon, and The Fray
The “She Want a Boss” record sampling No Scrubs and what being a provider really means
Financial responsibility (or honestly, the lack thereof) — and paying his ex-girlfriend’s college tuition
Bay Area rap Mount Rushmore: E-40, Tha Jacka, Mac Dre, Mistah Fab
Tour life at 19 vs. 29, skydiving for the first time, and wanting to visit Nigeria
His Grammy ambitions and why he’s now hands-on with his own artwork and creative direction
