FKi 1st Steps Out into the Spotlight… Finally

Let’s play a game.

Have you ever heard of the songs “Work” by Iggy Azalea? What about the song “Watch Out” by 2 Chainz or “Money Made Me Do It” by Post Malone? Then chances are, you are already familiar with the newest trap rapper out of Atlanta, FKi 1st.

FKi 1st has become a sought after musical producer to some of hip-hop’s hottest tracks. The newly debuted rapper has had a hand in producing a wide array of bangers of the past decade. Yet, most people have never heard of this wide-ranging artist.

The Atlanta based rapper has played a pivotal role in the behind-the-scenes creation of hits such as the infamous phrase “make it rain” and “Fuck You All the Time” by Jeremih.

Needless to say, we knew about him without even knowing his name yet. Now, FKi 1st has come to claim his spotlight with his debut EP appropriately titled, First Time for Everything Part 1. With his use of heart pounding drumbeats and rhythmic trap, FKi has solidified himself as the newest face of trap rap.

FKi 1st with Post Malone

FKi was brought to the forefront in his recent musical lovechild with Post Malone in the songs “White Iverson” and “Go Flex.” The Atlanta rapper has established himself as the producer of hits. Yet, this album will solidify his well-deserved seat in the rap game.

Dubbing himself as the “black Diplo” for his ability to pull the unique quality out of anything, the new artist uses his talents to create music that will have you singing the same line for days.
