“R&B’s Most Toxic Singer” | The Story of Brent Faiyaz

is saying that you’re not toxic, toxic? ⇩ OPEN ME ⇩ Brent Faiyaz has accidentally become the posterboy for independence in music and toxicity in R&B. But he’d only agree to one of those claims. His story is one that can become a lot more common in the coming years but was a case of perfect timing and real talent. Starting as a Soundcloud rapper, the decline of traditional labels along with the rise of streaming means that anyone can make it. Brent always approached music authentically and honestly, making what he wanted to listen to and it being a cathartic outlet for him. He hoped it would free him for his day job but could’ve only dreamed it would’ve taken him where it has. 00:00 Intro 00:39 His early life & music dreams… 04:50 You’re Probably Wondering How I Got Here: Sonder Son 11:26 Pardon My Bluntness: Fuck The World 14:07 The Life of a Rockstar: WASTELAND 17:54 World Domination: Larger Than Life 20:18 Innovating & Elevating: Icon 21:23 What’s Next?
