I’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’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 FAIYAZWhen you’re initially making music, you’re kind of just shooting at the air.
BRENT FAIYAZWe’re products of this world we were born into. We all battle our own demons. Everyone is troubled in the dark, but, please just stop & think about the babies. They’re gonna be here long after we leave.
BRENT FAIYAZPeople will listen to a song and expect that you just have that persona on all the time. But really, that was your one outlet that one day to get that emotion out. The only difference was you put it on a canvas that’s going to be there forever.
BRENT FAIYAZYou work on something for so long that you become numb to it. Like, you don’t even know how to listen to it because you listened to it so many times.
BRENT FAIYAZIn 2018, nothing is sacred. Everyone is everywhere and knows everybody. I don’t text too personal because somebody might screenshot it and share it.
BRENT FAIYAZI think if you’re an interesting person, you don’t have to cloud yourself in mystery for people to want to know more about you.
BRENT FAIYAZYou gotta question the purpose you serve for those who invite themselves into your life. Learn who you are and always question the motive. No one knows you the way you do.
BRENT FAIYAZIf you tell somebody that you make music they’re all interested. But when you say you rap, they just start rolling their eyes at you. It would’ve taken me a lot longer to get my foot in the door if I’d continued rapping all the way.
BRENT FAIYAZDon’t stop until you get where you’re trying to go.
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 FAIYAZIf I feel like making something, if I feel like saying something on the track, that’s what I am going to do – regardless of reaction.
BRENT FAIYAZThere’s the hype stuff that people love for five minutes and then there’s the stuff that changes cultures and shifts how you look at music. And then there’s that rare point where that hype stuff changes the game.
BRENT FAIYAZI’d prefer for people to know that they’re going to get some substance when they listen to my music versus hearing the same ‘Oooh baby, I love you.’
BRENT FAIYAZMe and Goldlink have known of each other for a minute and our managers know each other so they set up a studio session. When we got in the studio, we was cool; we’re from the same area so we have a lot in common.
BRENT FAIYAZAs cliche as it sounds, don’t stop. I feel like so often people will have talent or have potential, and they’ll quit because they don’t get anywhere as soon as they want to.
