Orange, New Jersey native Manny is making his presence felt in the rap game with his new single, “Like That,” produced by Roc. The rising MC, known for his vivid storytelling and sharp delivery, has built a name on authenticity and hustle—traits that shine throughout his latest release.


Manny, born Mannuel, has spent the past few years shaping a sound that bridges emotional depth and street perspective. His lyrics often pull from real-life experiences, offering listeners an honest reflection of the grind that defined his come-up. That personal storytelling has earned him attention across the East Coast scene and beyond, setting him apart from peers chasing viral fame.


On “Like That,” Manny doubles down on that honesty. The record hits with a balance of melodic swagger and raw emotion, as he flexes his lyrical control over Roc’s hard-hitting production. His flow shifts between introspection and confidence, weaving through themes of survival, ambition, and self-assurance. The track feels like both a statement of intent and a window into the artist’s growth.


“‘Like That’ represents who I am right now,” Manny said in a recent post to his followers. “It’s about owning my story, the wins and the losses.” That sentiment mirrors the energy of the song—a declaration of independence from an artist carving his own lane in a crowded industry.


On social media, where he goes by @mannyraps, the New Jersey native keeps fans locked in with behind-the-scenes glimpses of studio sessions and snippets of unreleased music. Each post fuels his growing buzz and reinforces the image of a rapper who’s all about transparency and consistency.


With “Like That,” Manny proves he’s not chasing trends—he’s creating his own momentum. His voice, grounded in experience and ambition, signals a new chapter for East Coast rap built on substance, not shortcuts.
