ffawty: “Earth, Wind & Hearth”
Drop ffawty in 2007 and his sweet-sounding islander hip-pop would have had Z100 on lock. It is smart that he got here up mentored by tabloid starboy Sean Kingston (significantly). Naturally, nowadays ffawty’s sound leans to the rap facet, pulling from the emotionally bruised singalongs of Broward County’s Loe Shimmy as a lot because the melodies of the West Indies—he’s from St. Thomas, one of many largest Virgin Islands. “Earth, Wind & Hearth,” which caps off a cool run of singles over the previous few months, is a slow-burner that places a motivational twist on the childhood flashback anthems in style in Southern ache rap. His huge, raspy vocals do loads of the legwork, making the track so catchy that you simply type of overlook the disappointment. Sean Kingston knew one thing about that.
With artists releasing songs at a quick and livid tempo, it’s troublesome for the typical hip-hop head to maintain monitor of all of it—irrespective of how tapped in they’re. That’s why we created The Ones, a every day put up to focus on the track it’s good to hear.
