RESPECT.: Tell us a little bit about your journey and how we’re here today with this new record?
F.Y.I. : I grew up in the culture. I am the culture. But I’d say my musical journey started about 3 years ago after being in a group making records and performing at festivals like the Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival and A3C; I decided to branch out and paint my own pictures on the solo tip. In 2014, I released my first solo single called “10 Worlds” and my feet been on the peddle ever since.
RESPECT.: What’s the meaning behind your name?
F.Y.I. : Foreshadow. Yahweh. Included. Foreshadow was the moniker I went by before, Yahweh is Hebrew for “God “and then you add the word included into the mix which means I’m saying God is always with me.
RESPECT.: The visual of your album is powerful, what can we expect from the full project ameriBLACKKK dropping May 19?
F.Y.I. : Soulfulness. Unapologetic. Love. Pain. Victory. Life. The whole hueman experience.
