“When it’s all said and done, I want people to look back and be able to say there’s a Brent Faiyaz record for every single emotion, situation, and conversation – for anything you’re going through. I want them to say, ‘You can find a song in that catalogue for anything.’ That’s what I want to be.”

Since 2016, Brent Faiyaz has been steadily ascending to R&B stardom. Now that he’s reached the top, he’s feeling Larger Than Life. Returning with his fourth album, with the likes of A$AP Rocky, Missy Elliot and Timbaland, the revered artist is taking the next step in his artistry: curating an authentic project that will stand the test of time. Covering our Winter 23 issue, Faiyaz sits down with producer extraordinaire, Swizz Beatz, to reflect on the art of maintaining discipline in an industry that isn’t afraid to leave you behind, grabbing a Grammy-nomination for his first ever collaboration and his dreams of getting into the studio with Stevie Wonder.
