Producer FKi 1st Talks Making Hits for Post Malone and Mad Decent Collabs | ABOUT THAT TIME

Описание: Here at MERRY JANE, we turn the green room into center stage. And on our twice weekly cannabis culture talk show, About That Time, we kick it with the hottest talent in and around the world of weed, steamed live from our SoCal studio. This Thursday, our host Noah Rubin sat down with rapper and super producer FKi 1st to talk Billboard hits, Mad Decent mixes, and of course, light up that good gas.


If you don’t know FKi 1st, you definitely know his music. The Atlanta-based super producer and one half of the FKi duo is responsible for chart-topping hits like Post Malone’s “White Iverson,” 2CHainz’s “Watch Out” and more, and he’s not taking his foot off the industry’s neck anytime soon. Diversifying his music outside of just hip-hop, the beat-master who goes by 1st Down has also taken the world of EDM by storm, with dance-inducing festival sets and mixes to boot.

And with a cross-genre control of both hip-hop and dance music, there’s no better label partnership for the A-Town rapper/producer than Diplo’s Mad Decent. With the label backing of the Los Angeles EDM tastemakers, FKi 1st has spent the last two years releasing his weed-fueled Good Gas mixtape and party series.

Featuring original songs from the likes of 2Chainz, A$AP Ferg, MadeinTYO, 03 Greedo, and more, Good Gas Vol. 1 & 2 have each amassed millions of streams and helped elevate 1st Down and the FKi team into a must-have producer credit for rappers across the industry. Bringing the mixtapes to life, FKi 1st has teamed up with Mad Decent for a set of Good Gas dance parties at SXSW, Coachella, and most recently Tokyo. The lead single from Vol. 2, “Liv A Lil” featuring UnoTheActivist and MadeinTYO, recently got the video treatment, and is poised to take off as 1st Down’s next hit.

In our SoCal studio, 1st rolled a freshly cleaned Backwoods and explained how his Good Gas imprint evolved from a childhood joke, how he transformed into the “Black Diplo,” and let us in on some exclusive info about his upcoming Good Gas cannabis line in California, which will feature a slew of strains and smoking accessories. On our Posted Up segment, we dug through 1st’s Instagram to find out about cigar swords, dabbing in the desert, and turning Post Malone’s bedroom to a closet to create “White Iverson.” Moving on to the freshest stories of the week on Roll the News, we dished about possibilities for legal hallucinogens and broke down the latest cannabis-focused federal legislature. And last but not least, we dimmed the lights and got spacey for our favorite star chart sourie, Astrology Time.

For more from the Atlanta producer, check out a new batch of collaborative hits from Famous Dex, Matt OX, and more on Good Gas Vol. 3, available on all streaming platforms now, and keep your ear to the street for another round of Good Gas parties popping up in new cities around the globe - a double team that’s guaranteed to keep the summer lit.
