After he began uploading his music to Soundcloud in 2014, Maryland-bred rapper-turned-singer Brent Faiyaz hit the ground running. Six years later, he doesn’t plan to stop anytime soon. The 24-year-old born Christopher Brent Wood later moved to California to further his career, eventually forming the R&B group Sonder with fellow producers Dpat and Atu, and founding the label Lost Kid. Since the release of his debut studio album in 2017, Brent has been in cruise control as he climbs higher up the ladder. Three years later today, he continues his onward momentum by releasing the deluxe version of his album FTW (Fuck The World).

Faiyaz is at his best when he’s cold-hearted, like Future minus the empty outlook. “Rehab (Winter in Paris)” is unsympathetic from the opening line: “I got too many hoes/But they ain’t you,” he sings warmly over neo-soul ready strings and finger snaps — so warmly, in fact, that you forget that he’s actually telling the girl he’s supposed to be in love with that he’s sleeping around.

The stripped-down, self-produced “Fuck the World (Summer in London)” is similar, with countless bars that make him sound like a demon (“Your nigga caught us texting. You said ‘Baby don’t be mad you know how Brent is’”) or stand out for the wrong reasons (on the hook he calls himself a “walking erection”). Both songs are minimal in their approach, but layered, with small tweaks—like his slowed vocals on “Fuck the World (Summer in London)”—that elevate it all.

It’s worth noting that Brent Faiyaz is a savant at caption-worthy one-liners—“I’d probably be dead if I was basic,” “If you ain’t nasty don’t at me.” But there’s more to Fuck the World than Faiyaz’s ability to provide content for fit pics. He’s remarkably consistent as a songwriter and shouldn’t be slept on.
