Fly Anakin – “YOUGOTME!!”

Richmond, Virginia’s own Fly Anakin shares new rap video “YOUGOTME!!”. The track, produced by Quelle Chris, is a relentless return to solo work for Anakin, with Frank’s razor-sharp delivery from its opening notes to the final piano key. Just last month, Anakin ushered in the official debut full-length for the Richmond musical collective Mutant Academy that he co-founded alongside Henny L.O. with Keep Holly Alive, a 18-track masterclass in technical ability and familial chemistry from a group looking to stamp its place in the tapestry of hip-hop groups.

 

 

Having spent the majority of the past decade honing his craft with consistent Mutant Academy releases as well as a prolific run of solo projects, Anakin broke new ground in 2020 with his widely-lauded joint album with Pink Siifu, FlySiifu’s, and the accompanying $mokebreak EP a year later. That project opened up a new sound and community for Anakin who has seized on that project’s success to cement himself as a leader in rap’s underground renaissance with his critically-acclaimed studio debut album Frank in 2022. His subsequent dual-sided mixtape series with Foisey, Skinemaxxx, demonstrated that he could be versatile and adapt to more experimental and boisterous production,.
