Waco rap artist OG Auto is stepping into a bold new chapter with the release of his latest single, “Welcome Aboard The Vessel.” Officially available on all major streaming platforms as of June 19, 2026, the track finds the Texas artist moving beyond familiar regional sounds and exploring a more cosmic, funk-inspired lane.
Built around a strong Funkadelic influence, “Welcome Aboard The Vessel” blends groove-heavy basslines, sharp lyricism, and modern hip-hop percussion. The result is a record that feels both nostalgic and futuristic, pulling from the spirit of classic funk while still carrying the weight and bounce of today’s rap production.
To bring the vision to life, OG Auto teamed up with Billboard-charting producer Homiletix and Tribe Life Studios Worldwide. Together, they created a soundscape that feels rich, layered, and immersive. The production leans into live-sounding instrumentation while still maintaining the trunk-rattling energy needed for a hip-hop record.
What makes “Welcome Aboard The Vessel” stand out is its willingness to take listeners somewhere different. Rather than simply following trends, OG Auto uses the track as an invitation into his own world, one filled with groove, atmosphere, and lyrical confidence.
With this release, OG Auto proves he is not afraid to experiment. “Welcome Aboard The Vessel” is more than just a single — it is a statement of growth, direction, and creative ambition.
