Mexikro's 'Still Goin'': From Trap Roots to Redemption

Veteran Atlanta producer MexikoDro, known for co-founding the plugg genre, has released his first solo EP as an emcee, titled 'Still Goin.' The project, released on November 25, 2025, marks a significant shift for the artist as he enters his thirties. MexikoDro's new work revisits the sounds of Southern rap's past, with beats reminiscent of early trap era artists. His lyrical content, however, signals a departure from youthful excess, focusing instead on themes of sobriety and a renewed relationship with faith.

Across the 14 tracks, MexikoDro candidly touches upon his struggles with addiction and his journey toward recovery. While he references finding Christ, the EP emphasizes his appreciation for simpler moments and daily routines, such as gratitude for a shower or finding contentment at home. This introspective approach distinguishes 'Still Goin' from the boastful or hedonistic narratives often found in the genre, offering a more grounded and personal narrative.

'Still Goin' showcases a maturing artist embracing a healthier lifestyle and mental well-being. MexikoDro navigates themes of overcoming addiction and finding peace without sounding preachy. This EP stands as a testament to his growth, positioning him as a unique voice in Atlanta's music scene, one that prioritizes personal health over the local scene's recent controversies.
