Flyboi Rich is someone that we talk to frequently at 4ShoMag. He’s one of the best rising artists out of Detroit, and just a look at his consistency in releases over the last few years, plus his rising streams on platforms (he’s had millions of streams) shows that the world is realizing it too. 

It’s been a while since we’ve caught up with what he’s doing, but, ahead of the release of his new single “Tokyo Drift,” we wanted to catch up with him quickly about where he’s been, what’s inspiring him, and what we can expect from “Tokyo Drift.” 

Check out our brief conversation below. 

Could you tell me a bit about where you’ve been since our last conversation?

I’ve been doing a lot of traveling studying planning buying real estate learning more about the business side of music and taking meetings with smaller labels. Ethika recently had me come in to talk. 

How has your career elevated? 

My streams have been going up and with that comes trouble. People have been hacking into my social media accounts so I’ve just been rebuilding them. I’m seeing streams go up over a million a month sometimes, so I appreciate whoever is listening to me and watching my videos.  

What’s the inspiration for your new music? 

My new releases are inspired by the drama that I’ve been going through, just life situations that I’ve been putting into the music. When you hear me, I’m putting my all so people who understand my struggles can identify with what I’m saying. I always make sure the punchlines and metaphors hit too, because that’s something I always focus on.  

What’s the message behind it?

The message behind it is to really talk crazy and speak your mind. Don’t let your voice get shut out. Open up and do whatever you want to do and take chances for what you want to become Don’t take shit from nobody. And to be honest, it’s also my story of coming from the trenches as an underdog.

What are you working on beyond this that your fans can wait on?

The next thing that I’m working on is definitely more music — starting with the release of “Tokyo Drift.” I’m also working on new ways to present my brand to people — whether it’s more clothes and fashion lines on the way, or being featured on bigger blogs and radios. You’re going to be seeing a lot more of me in the near future.

Fresh off his most recent release “B.I.N.G.O.,” 92 Byu returns with a new song called “Love Me Or Not.” He’s starting the new year off with a bang – the rising artist from Sumter, South Carolina is following up his “B.I.N.G.O.” momentum with the brand new track, a love anthem. He switches it up

92 Byu, who is ½ of the duo 9INE11, is pursuing a solo endeavor this time around and making his debut as a solo artist with this record. He’s showing off his talents to new heights and while the sound of the music is true to what he’s been doing within the group, the new music is refreshing as 92Byu explores a lane of his own rising out of South Carolina.

According to 92 Byu, the meaning of the song represents the concept of “winning,” such as in a game of Bingo. Throughout the visual, 92Byu brings audiences on a journey with him into a day in the life in the studio, having fun and making music with the homies.

“Time and time again you get that board where your pieces don’t line up right after the ball drops,” 92 Byu explains of the track. “Then the ball finally drops for you and it’s like ‘BINGO.’ ‘This is it, it’s finally my turn to enjoy the winner’s moment.”

As far as what he wants audiences to take away from the music, he ultimately wants listeners to know that people’s outside opinions do not matter. 

“Why care about the thoughts of others?” 92 Byu says. “Do whatever you have to … whatever it takes, for however long it takes, to get in the position of life you want to be in. Just get there, just get it done and when you get positioned, just remember it was all worth it because you only have one life to live. Life itself is beautiful, it’s meant to be enjoyed.”

Stay tuned for more content on the way from 92 Byu, but in the meantime, check out “Love Me Or Not.”
