In a cinematic display directed by LONEWOLF, Brent Faiyaz has unveiled the official music video for his track “Upset” featuring Tommy Richman and FELIX! The arresting visuals provide a glimpse into a storyline that unfolds within the confines of the ISO County Sheriff’s Office, creatively named after Faiyaz’s agency.
The LONEWOLF-directed video features Faiyaz, Tommy Richman, and FELIX! in a gripping portrayal of being in custody. Various scenes depict activities before and after detainment, including moments of playing pool, participating in police photo lineups, and undergoing lie detector tests.
“Upset,” co-produced by Tommy Richman and Mannyvelli, is a standout track from Faiyaz’s Larger Than Life album. The song made an impactful debut, securing the 12th spot on Billboard’s Hot R&B Songs chart in the week of November 11. Notably, it has garnered over 10 million streams on Spotify.
The visual release follows the success of “WY@,” the second official single from the Larger Than Life album. “WY@” has surpassed 22.8 million streams on Spotify and currently holds the 10th spot on urban radio, marking the first song from the album to achieve this.
Larger Than Life was released on October 27 under Faiyaz’s ISO Supremacy and UnitedMasters. The album showcases Faiyaz’s musical prowess and serves as his first collection of music for his newly minted imprint. With guest features from Timbaland, Missy Elliott, Coco Jones, and others, Larger Than Life made an impactful debut, securing the 11th spot on the Billboard 200 chart. Additionally, it claimed the 2nd spot on both the Top R&B Albums and Independent Albums charts.
This album serves as the follow-up to Faiyaz’s platinum-selling sophomore release, Wasteland, which hit the charts in 2022.
Amidst his chart success and album releases, Faiyaz has recently dropped his second project of the year titled Apple Music Live: Brent Faiyaz. The live album captures the essence of his performances at the Eventim Apollo in London during the closing night of his “F**k The World, It’s a Wasteland Tour” second leg.
Expressing gratitude to Apple Music, Faiyaz shared, “We had a time on the road. Thank you Apple Music for allowing me to bring the F**k The World, it’s a Wasteland Tour experience to millions. Hope you enjoy the show.”
Looking ahead, Faiyaz is set to embark on the third leg of the F**k The World, It’s a Wasteland Tour in January 2024, covering locations across Australia, New Zealand, and Asia.
