Fatt Smaxk Explains Name Change on 2 Chainz's 'Me & Halo' Podcast

Atlanta's music scene has a new frontrunner, and he is already sitting down with the city's royalty. Fresh off the momentum of his Playboi Carti-assisted "Smaxk or Die" remix and his brand new project *Smack Season 2*, Thomasville Heights native Fatt Smaxk pulled up to the *Me & Halo* podcast hosted by 2 Chainz and his son, Halo. According to a clip shared by Ahmed/The Ears on social media, the veteran rapper got straight to the point, asking the rising Atlantic Records signee about the origin of his moniker. Smaxk revealed that he originally rapped under the name HardNard before making the transition to his current alias. With his soulful, tightly coiled flow gaining serious traction across the map, the name change is clearly working in his favor. Check out the clip below.
