BRENT FAIYAZI’ve always felt like I was observing everything, like I’m just looking out of the window, peeping how everybody is living and just penning about it, so I made the album about that concept.
BRENT FAIYAZI think it’s good that YouTube decided that they really want to showcase Black talent.
BRENT FAIYAZI mean, I wasn’t the best student in school. It would be different if I were to pursue music while I was already in school and doing things for my parents to be proud of and music was a side thing. Being that I dropped everything to do music, they was not with it.

BRENT FAIYAZMusic is my one opportunity to let out how I’m feeling when I’m not talking to a chick or my mom, you know what I mean? It’s just venting.
BRENT FAIYAZI want to own my masters. That’s the main thing–owning all my music.
BRENT FAIYAZI probably talk to myself more than I talk to anyone.
