Fivio Foreign Blesses Rising Singer LAYA's 'Brag' Video With Prom King Appearance

Posted by

Staten Island native LAYA didn’t hesitate to make her Warner Bros. debut have a piece of home attached. For “Brag,” the singer/songwriter enlists Fivio Foreign for a guest appearance along with a creative visualizer to match.

Crafted around high school accolades and superlatives, the visualizer finds LAYA and Fivio performing while framed around yearbook photos before the page turns and the two are standing together in a pose for prom king and queen.

“I don’t wanna brag too fast,” Laya sings on the chorus. “I don’t wanna brag when I get the big bag.”

Although the track’s chorus echoes thoughts of humility, LAYA’s opening verse flatly decrees she isn’t here for latecomers to her bandwagon and has no love for “crooked n-ggas.”

Fivio’s guest spot continues his momentum from his appearance on “Off The Grid” from Kanye West’s DONDA album. “If I ever take her from you, you won’t get her back,” he raps with glee. “Way before the COVID, I was ruggin’ ’round the city with a mask.”

Fivio’s emergence as a go-to feature for R&B singers will continue on Mary J. Blige’s upcoming Good Morning Gorgeous album. In January, the Queen of Hip Hop Soul revealed the tracklist for the album, which is due out on February 11. Joining Mary on her 14th studio album will be Anderson .Paak, Fivio, DJ Khaled, Dave East and Usher.
