I listen to music all day, every day\u201d. Not one to explore just the surface of a sound, for every Pharrell Williams or Nirvana song in his rotation, he\u2019s just as likely to be listening to Clipse or 4 Non Blonds. Faiyaz emanates the aura of a music lover who relishes knowing the B-Sides just as much as the latest anthem bubbling in the streets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a personality trait he shares with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/feliciathegoat\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tyler, the Creator<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, who crops up with a punchy verse towards the record\u2019s conclusion. Faiyaz divulges that the two have worked during multiple studio sessions together, and whilst offering no hint as to whether any further collaborations are on the horizon, the proposition alone is enough to have their devoted followings salivating for more. Tyler\u2019s inclusion on the track is thematically inkeeping with Faiyaz\u2019s lyrical sentiments and explores a pocket of sound he previously tapped into on \u2018<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pVInBRkoKgY&amp;ab_channel=Tyler%2CTheCreator-Topic\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GONE, GONE \/ THANK YOU\u2019<\/span><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iNP8_xtq8YU&amp;ab_channel=Tyler%2CTheCreator-Topic\">&#8216;Glitter&#8217;<\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as well as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7sMMHm_dRwc&amp;ab_channel=KyleClark\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018Bound 1\u2019<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, an unreleased version of Kanye West\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BBAtAM7vtgc&amp;ab_channel=KanyeWestVEVO\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018Bound 2\u2019<\/span><\/a>\u00a0that Tyler produced.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3LdcWfFLo9g\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"blockquote","text":"As a black artist, they lump us all together.

Perceptive, critical but displaying no visible signs of jadedness, Faiyaz is assured and trusting in the process of hard work executed by himself, manager Ty Baisden and a tight-knit support team.
