HI LO FI : 004

“Fly Or Die,” produced by yours truly #Furgersen7 aka #F7BEATS, is a laid-back musical journey that draws its inspiration from iconic moments, much like Ogre’s unforgettable shout of “Nerds!” in the cult classic Revenge of the Nerds. It’s like a musical time machine, transporting us back to the vibe of Lupe Fiasco’s legendary mixtape, “Fahrenheit 1/15 Part II: Revenge of the Nerds,” which laid the foundation for this sonic adventure.

This track was a labor of love, a heartfelt tribute to the artistry that profoundly shaped my musical soul. In many ways, it mirrors the dedication of a budding genius, much like the path I’ve walked, inspired by Lupe Fiasco’s unofficial masterpiece. Drawing from the Neptune era, where musical maestros Chad Hugo, Pharrell Williams, and Shay Haley crafted hits for industry heavyweights, “Fly Or Die” captures that same kaleidoscope of musical diversity etched into the annals of music history. It’s a nod to their timeless influence and an everlasting source of inspiration.

As you immerse yourself in this sonic tapestry filled with transitions, each one taking you on a cosmic leap through a musical universe, you’ll feel the dreamy melodies and interstellar vibes paying homage to the realm of the nerds—where imagination knows no bounds. The unconventional drum patterns echo an era long past, reminiscent of Clipse’s classic “Grindin’” from over two decades ago in 2002, reminding us of hip-hop’s roots and the harmonious coexistence of innovation and nostalgia.

So, sit back and enjoy the journey through “Fly Or Die.” Let the echoes of “Nerds!” and the enduring soundscapes guide you. I’ve named the tracks in honor of N.E.R.D.’s second studio album, “Fly Or Die,” released on March 23, 2004. It was a vibrant chapter in the ever-expanding music, sound, and rhythm universe. I’m eager to hear how it resonates with you.
