Fuck The World

About

“ Fuck The World” is the fourth extended play release by Maryland native, Brent Faiyaz following after his 2018 EP Lost. The project was released through Lost Kids on February 7th, 2020. The project has no guest appearances and it’s production was primarily handled by Brent himself, D-Pat, and Atu, the three members of Sonder, with assistance from Jake One, Los Hendrix, No I.D., Paperboy Fabe, Sam Wish, and several other producers. Similarly to the recording process of Sonder Son (2017), during which he recorded the majority of the album in the Dominican Republic, Faiyaz spent the majority of 2019 abroad in London and Paris. He stated that going overseas influenced his creativity due to the culture shift while revealing that when in London, he attended a Knucks concert on his birthday where he performed "Fuck the World (Summer in London)", stating that Knucks presented him with a birthday cake, "in the states, people don't do shit like that. Someone's not going to cut his set short and present someone with a birthday cake, because some random person pulled up to his show. People don't do shit like that. London has a different kind of love". This project runs 10 tracks with themes ranging from systematical racism to the overindulgence of sex and money in the world and is led by the singles “Rehab (Winter In Paris)” and “Fuck The World (Summer In London)”. It debuted at number 20 on the US Billboard 200 chart and on December 8, 2022, was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for combined sales and album-equivalent units of over 500,000 units. To date, the EP has earned 684,000 album-equivalent units and a total of 935.81 million official on-demand streams in the United States.
