Louisiana rapper Killa D is turning up the energy with “Pop It! (Remix),” a bold, high-powered club anthem featuring Southern artists Fat Pimp and 9th Ward Judy. Built to command attention from the opening beat, the remix combines an infectious rhythm, confident performances, and the unmistakable character of Southern hip-hop.
Designed for packed clubs, parties, live shows, and DJ sets, “Pop It! (Remix)” is unapologetically focused on movement. Killa D approaches the record with the presence of an experienced performer, delivering his lines with conviction while keeping the song’s momentum high. Fat Pimp and 9th Ward Judy add their own distinctive personalities to the collaboration, giving the remix a strong regional identity and creating a lively exchange between three artists who understand how to energize a crowd.
For Killa D, the release represents another step forward in a career built through consistency, independence, and a genuine connection to Southern rap culture. Born Dekarian Ashley, the Northwest Louisiana native has roots in both Shreveport and Minden. He began writing music at the age of 12 with only a karaoke machine and a single microphone, developing his sound through determination and limited resources. His early influences included Louisiana artists such as Lil Boosie, Webbie, and Lil Wayne, alongside Southern and hip-hop legends including UGK and Tupac Shakur.
Growing up around violence and personal tragedy, music became both an emotional outlet and a way for Killa D to express his experiences. That background helped shape an artist who values authenticity and understands the importance of using his platform to show younger listeners that their circumstances do not have to define their futures.
After relocating to Houston in 2009, Killa D continued building his career through networking, performances, artist showcases, and collaborations. In 2016, he founded his independent brand and label, Chasing Money Not Fame, a name that reflects his focus on lasting progress rather than temporary attention. His hands-on approach has allowed him to remain in control of his direction while steadily expanding his reach.
Over the years, Killa D has performed at major events including SXSW, appeared alongside established Southern acts, and earned nominations and recognition within independent music circles. His catalog includes songs such as “Don’t Be Afraid,” “Bout Dat!,” “Like That,” “Shake Now Mix It,” and the original “Pop It!” The latter became one of his most recognizable records, receiving regional radio support, award consideration, and national exposure through Brink TV and Webbie’s Savage Life Radio. His press kit also documents radio play across Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, Georgia, Kentucky, and other markets, as well as chart recognition from Radio Airplay Experts.
That history gives “Pop It! (Remix)” additional weight. Rather than simply revisiting a familiar title, Killa D expands the record’s reach by bringing Fat Pimp and 9th Ward Judy into the mix. Their appearances strengthen the song’s Southern foundation while helping it feel larger, louder, and ready for a new audience.
Fat Pimp’s established presence and energetic delivery complement Killa D’s commanding style, while 9th Ward Judy brings another layer of personality rooted in Louisiana culture. Together, the three artists create a collaborative record that feels natural rather than forced. Each voice contributes to the overall atmosphere, but Killa D remains at the center, guiding the track with the confidence of an artist who has spent years refining his stage presence and understanding what connects with listeners.
The remix also highlights Killa D’s ability to make music that works in real-world environments. “Pop It! (Remix)” is not overly complicated or weighed down by unnecessary elements. Its strength comes from its directness, rhythmic appeal, and commitment to delivering a memorable experience. It is the kind of song built to spark immediate reactions when the beat drops.
With Chasing Money Not Fame behind him and a growing catalog that reflects years of independent work, Killa D continues to represent the persistence and creativity found throughout Louisiana hip-hop. “Pop It! (Remix)” featuring Fat Pimp and 9th Ward Judy captures that spirit through a lively collaboration that celebrates confidence, movement, and Southern musical identity.
