When he was a child, his father was incarcerated.
It has been stated by Shelby Stewart of the Houston Chronicle that Gazca “faced the hardships of life in the ghetto…faced betrayal from his own kin, and he’s even had his own battle with drug abuse.” Virgil René Gazca also told Stewart that he wanted to be a rapper ever since he was four years old and would sing along to rap videos he saw on 106 & Park.
Talking about That Mexican OT’s music style, David Crone of AllMusic wrote that his style contains “bold lyricism and a relentless flow while melding trap and mariachi guitars”.

Upon its release, the album charted at #59 on the Billboard 200 chart and Nadine Smith of Pitchfork described the album as “a brightly colored spectacle, a freestyle brawl of rap styles and regional flavors.”
