Fetty Wap Delivers 'White Roses' Video As New Album Arrives
(300 Entertainment) 2x GRAMMY Award-nominated, RIAA Diamond certified rap icon Fetty Wap returns today with his hugely anticipated fourth studio album, Zavier, available everywhere now.
The 17-track project is highlighted by the lead single, "White Roses," - the official music video directed by acclaimed filmmaker Edgar Esteves. Carried by skittering cymbals, steady bass, and vocal syncopations, the song is steeped in the swinging sound of jazz. The song holds an extra special meaning to the global artist as it features background vocals from his sisters Divinity and Ymanie. "I want fans to hear the evolution," Fetty shares. "It's still Fetty, but it's a version that's been through life and came back stronger."
With Zavier, Fetty Wap is underscoring his influence and authority while welcoming us into his expanded world of creativity. While his now-classic self-titled debut album introduced the world to "Fetty Wap," this project's purpose is to present "Zavier," the name his family uses and the real person behind the globally famous moniker.
Fetty Wap has experienced more in life than most ever will. Zavier sees the New Jersey-based artist parsing through his arduous journey and the complex feelings that come with it. From the anthemic, G Herbo-assisted "I Remember/Dear Zavier" to the deeply reflective "Real Ones" with Albee Al and Harrd Luck, the album finds Fetty at his most freedom-seeking and ingeniously limber best. The excitement of collaboration is audible on additional features from Wiz Khalifa, Max B, Monty, Rob McCoy, Divinity, Ymanie, Oskama Esteban, Honey Bxby and Tink. In each instance, Fetty Wap brings his sauce to the table, imbuing every track with his unique flavor of creativity. With Zavier, Fetty Wap is gifting fans with a new experience, grounded in the same principles they've come to expect - and respect - from the superstar artist.
"I came up with many songs while incarcerated, especially during the six months I spent in solitary confinement," Fetty Wap says. "Even in difficult environments, creativity never leaves you; music was still a way for me to express myself. I've had time to reflect, grow, and really think about the kind of artist and man I want to be moving forward. The music still has the energy people know me for, but there's also more honesty and perspective in it now."
