The latest signee to 1017 is Ola Runt and he's getting ready to take off.

Ola Runt's one of the hottest rappers coming out of Atlanta right now. Making a buzz on his own over the past few years, he announced his signing to Gucci Mane earlier this year making Ola Runt the first rapper born and raised in Atlanta to pen a deal with Guwop's 1017 Eskimo imprint.

Runt clearly has a similar work ethic to Gucci and he's returned with a brand new single this weekend titled, "Art Of Gang." Handling a chilling trap instrumental, Ola Runt is self-aware as he paints a haunting image of the environment he grew up in. "They know my story real, they trying to make a documentary/ But I can't do it 'cause a lot of shit, I wasn't innocent," he raps as the drums vanish for a moment.

Ola Runt is only getting started right now. Keep your eyes peeled for more new music from him on the way.

Quotable Lyrics
Want all the smoke
My grandparents was cancer patients
It's like the purgatory
They tried purge on me
Ola Vs. Predators, it's aliens I see
