Lah Pat Enlists That Mexican OT for New Single 'Oversteppin'

Buzzing New Orleans-born and Houston-based artist Lah Pat unleashes a sizzling new single entitled “Oversteppin’” featuring Gold-selling rapper That Mexican OT. It notably marks the first collaboration between two rising stars emerging from the Texas music scene.

On the new single, Lah Pat shares “Oversteppin came about because when I first came in the industry I didn’t want to step on any toes or end up in the wrong predicament but then I realized I’m gonna say what I want and do what I want because it’s my life and ain’t nobody gonna check me! This song is letting them know that I’m here and I’m here to stay.”

“Oversteppin” closes out an incredible debut year for Lah Pat and lays the foundation for his full length project arriving in 2024.

His summer scorcher “Kamikaze” landed on the heels of the remix of his breakout single “Rodeo” featuring Flo Milli.

The first iteration of “Rodeo” exploded as a viral phenomenon on TikTok where its respective dance challenge incited over 900K creates with a staggering 75 million-plus views and 9 million engagements on the platform.

This success has also carried over to DSPs as the song has reeled over 25 million global streams and counting. Lah Pat joined Gold-selling R&B songstress Tink on select dates of her Thanks 4 Everything Tour Pt. 2 in early 2023.
