The upcoming tour features the first-ever performances of music from Recess, That Mexican OT's next album, including the single "Baby Mad At Me" ft. Lil Wayne. Tickets for the "Recess Tour" are available on Friday, June 20th at 10am local time at ThatMexicanOT.net

The song earned coverage in Stereogum, UPROXX, and more, and OT recently performed the song on Genius's Open Mic. "Baby Mad At Me" is OT's first new solo single of 2025, and will appear on Recess, coming in Summer 2025 via Capitol/GoodTalk/Good Money Global.
