Brent Faiyaz Believes We Are Living In a 'Wasteland.' He Makes It Sound Damn Good. The independent R&B star details the making of his new album and working with ...

After we did “Dead Man Walking,” and then right after that, I went in and did “Ghetto Gatsby,” and it was a couple other ones that I started recording around that same time, I knew pretty much the body of the album and the shape of it, how I wanted it to sound. That’s when I got the shit with Saadiq, that’s when I got a lot of records that came towards the end of the project, when I was just making shit, because I knew that the album had to come out. That’s when I was rapping a lot with Alicia and talking a lot to No I.D. and talking a lot to Saadiq. Just trying to get insight on what I can do with this to make this better. I don’t want somebody to listen and already have an idea or think, “This is where it’s gonna go.” So I like to keep the listener guessing. I had a part that I wanted a woman rapping, but I didn’t want to get the cliché “just go get a woman rapper.” ‘Cause there’s a certain way I want to approach this shit. He was like, “Man, I only give my good shit to Solange, D’Angelo, and now you.” I’m like, “Good looking.” Laced my shit, I ain’t gonna hold you. He was like, “I only give my shit to a couple motherfuckers, but I fuck with you.” I knew I couldn’t half-step on a record that he gave. So I hit Alicia, like, “Yo, I got this record, you trying to rap on it?” She was like, “Yeah, what you got for me?” I played her the reference I had and how I wanted to sound, and she went in there and knocked that shit out. I figured I’m gonna either wait until I can finally get these words right and get this shit out of my head, or I’m going to bring in the best to help me get this idea out. If I am out and I’m faded and I feel a type of way that makes me want to write something, I’ll just be like, “Somebody book me some studio time,” wherever. Honestly, I think that kind of elevated my sound, getting in there with Dahi and seeing how he produces and how he goes about that shit, along with a lot of other producers I’ve been working with. “Jackie Brown” might serve as the song with the most quotable lyrics from the album, with the kind of lines we’ve become accustomed to from Faiayz, (“My old bitch fine like Jackie Brown” or “leave me here I’ll fuck myself”) while “Addictions” serves as a song suming up the whole album’s theme and a picture Brent has been painting since he reached stardom, singing “Maybe it’s the love, the drugs, the weed, the pussy, maybe it’s all the above/maybe I don’t need a hug, maybe I’m just fucked up.”
