STANDOUT SONGS: Rumors (Rollout) ft. Hurri Harán, On Fye, Jersey, & Cruise Musik,
I’ve gotten used to random DM’s asking me to listen to music or watch music videos, so a simple “Yoo” told me there was something Fari Wopavelli wanted me to hear. A few weeks later, Fari and I caught up over Zoom a month before his release date to listen to his newest project, DIAMONDS, PEARLS, & HOODRAT GIRLS
With any of his releases, I know Fari's gonna have crazy samples, outrageously cocky bars, and maybe even a guest appearance from Yash Flee or Pat Guwop. DIAMONDS, PEARLS, & HOODRAT GIRLS has all of that and more. There's samples of iconic WWE entrance songs (on Sexy Boy), plenty of Jersey Club, crazy references to rappers' girlfriends (on Waydamin), and the usual dose of Pretty Boy Clique sh*t. In just 12 songs Fari has seamlessly fused the style and bravado of both Chicago and his newfound home (New York City) and turned it up 100 notches. It's obvious that Fari is at his best when he's exploring new sounds and reimagining Hip-Hop classics. As a whole, Fari's newest release is simply cool as hell and really establishes him both as a student of Hip-Hop and as an artist willing to put his own twist and flare on it.
