Multi-faceted maestro, Iz LaMarr drops off his new fiery single dubbed ‘AF1’, a statement release that is sure to be the sound of the summertime.
Produced by Ed from New York and himself, the track commands attention with its gritty bass and bossy attitude, as Iz’s flaming hot bars bounce along to the broody flow. Thumping 808’s and soaring synths raise the temperature, and he proves once again why he is one of Los Angeles’ finest new exports. A song inspired by fake flexing and ingenuity, Iz elaborates on his lyrics, stating “AF1 uses the popular Nike sneaker (a very common but basic shoe) as a metaphor for basic and a metaphor for basic and inauthentic people who needlessly lie about their lives in hope of raising their social status, when in reality their attempts are as transparent as a piece of cellophane. Lines such as “Post in a jacket they return the next day” are examples of things I actually see people do every day, like pretend they just dropped a bunch of money on new clothes or a car that they can’t afford or don’t even own. Like much of my music, this song is a reflection of the day to day reality that we live in, but is not always seen or acknowledged by the common eye, so I shed light on it with my art”.
An exciting new addition to the rap scene, Iz LaMarr is looking t make his stamp.
