It’s hardly the first time Trel has allowed his flow to get fully melodic over a piano loop — the long-ago “Benning Road” remains a touchstone. The two-minute “Broccoli” takeout follows his SDMG 2 mixtape from the summer, and he’s been ramping up to an album on major-label Maybach Music Group, allegedly titled Global Gleetchi.

Fat Trel (Anne Arundel County Police)

The rapper signed to Maybach Music Group — the Atlantic Records subsidiary run by Rick Ross — was caught attempting to exchange $450 in fake bills for chips at Maryland Live Casino.

The 25-year-old emcee — real name Martrel Reeves — told investigators he acquired the counterfeit bills at 7-11 ATM in D.C., a police report says. But Trel told a different story on Twitter the next day, posting, “An ATM? I don’t even own a bank card. Picture Big Gleetchie [a nickname] at a ATM.”

In a tweet that’s since been deleted, Fat Trel said he got the counterfeit bills from a promoter.

The rapper, a native of Northeast D.C., first rose to prominence in 2011 with street hits like “Respect With the Teck.” He signed to Maybach Music Group in 2013.

Trel was charged with a misdemeanor in Anne Arundel County. He’s now back on the street, posting regularly on Instagram and Twitter.
