Houston hip hop artist and Kappa Alpha Psi member PA The Writer released his song ‘We The Nupes’ in late 2023. This song garnered over 250,000 streams, viral video reactions, and a lot of attention amongst the Divine 9 and HBCU communities. PA decided it would be a good idea to add some of his fraternity brothers from all over the country to the viral hit with the intent to broaden its awareness amongst more Kappa chapters and their cities. This is how the ‘We The Nupes Remix’ was formed and it features Larry Jr, Dawn Mula, Abu Da Don, Ricardo P, Outta Space, and Clay James. Once Atlanta rising star Clay James added a verse to the song it instantly began to get more attention and awareness amongst the hip hop community. While Clay was attending Georgia State University, Outkast legend Big Boi took him under his wing and became his mentor. A few years later Clay James signed his first record deal with rap legend Snoop Dogg’s Doggystyle Records imprint. With a co-sign from Big Boi and a record deal with Snoop Dogg, Clay James began to receive global exposure. Clay James saw that PA The Writer was looking for more Nupes to add to the promising song and he reached out. Shortly after, clips of Clay recording his verse began to go viral on Instagram and Facebook. This prompted PA to go ahead and get the song finished and shoot the music video. This video was shot in Houston, Harlem, and Atlanta at Morris Brown College. Today, PA The Writer releases the highly anticipated ‘We The Nupes Remix’ Music Video on YouTube and it will be premiering soon on BET Jams. You will be able to catch PA The Writer and Clay James performing their parts from the remix at the AGP Fest Presented By Atlanta Greek Picnic in the Atlantic Station Pinnacle Lot on July 26th, tickets are on sale now.
