Fayro has dropped off a new album, Weight On It. On his latest full-length project, he details narratives of his story growing up in Memphis, offering a mix of hardcore, heartfelt, and comedic elements that paint a vivid picture of his experiences and the city's vibrant culture atop a set of explosive instrumentals. The album finds the Memphis artist collaboration with hometown legend Lil Wyte, in addition to standouts like LACHAT, Kia Shine, and Nesha Desean, for a set of blazing, versatile cuts that display his character-rich take on Memphis hip-hop sounds.
Weight On It blends raw, versatile vocals with spacey, expansive instrumentals for an immersive listen, with catchy opener "ZaZaZay" introducing the album's psychedelic, dark take on Memphis rap. Fayro demonstrates an ability to blend gruff, soulful melodious vocals with piercing rap flows on "Front Porch", with dynamic vocals laid atop nocturnal synths and a powerful rhythm section. The ghostly, layered instrumental on "Get You One", featuring Kia Shine, provides an apt backdrop for Fayro's commanding flows, as he throws in infectious inflections and refrains that make the track a true ear-worm. "We Get Money"'s icy keys and clasping percussion give ample space for Fayro's diverse vocal performance, adding variety with a minimalistic, sparse cut.
Fayro's latest project, the Cymphani Cyrine-produced project Weight On It, presents a stylish set of gritty offerings that showcase his vibrant take on influences from the rich hip-hop scene of his hometown Memphis.
