Released on Columbia Records, B.I.B.L.E. includes a bunch of big names such as Kanye West, Quavo, A$AP Rocky, Alicia Keys, Lil Yachty, DJ Khaled, Polo G, Lil Tjay, Ne-Yo, Yung Bleu, Vory and Blueface. During a recent interview with Hot 97, Fivio Foreign talked about drill music being a lot more than just beef.
“I feel like there’s a perspective out there, for drill music, that it’s just about beefing and dissing everybody,” he said. “I feel like it’s one of my responsibilities to show people that’s not the only drill. It is also about the content. We can do drill beats, talk about fashion, and still go viral.”
Nicki Minaj doesn’t appear on B.I.B.L.E., but she recently collaborated with Fivio Foreign on her song “We Go Up.” Fivio spits a verse on the track, with Nicki also name-dropping him in her lyrics.
“I’m ’bout to make you regret you chose me as an enemy, bitch,” she raps. “Southside Jamaica, we mobbin’ them bricks, so pull up with them blicks/Some of the best shooters out of New York, they don’t play with the Knicks/That ain’t Fivio Foreign, that’s Barbie new foreign, bitch.”
