R&B luminary Brent Faiyaz makes a comeback today unveiling his third studio collection, Icon, which serves as the successor to his 2022 full-length Wasteland and his 2023 mixtape Larger Than Life. This ten-track outing features the record “have to.,” which was initially shared last October.

Ever since dropping Larger Than Life, Faiyaz has linked up with notable acts like 21 Savage and Wizkid, and he is also featured on “STAY HERE 4 LIFE,” a standout from A$AP Rocky’s latest record Don’t Be Dumb.

During a recent conversation with Revolt, Faiyaz discussed the track “have to.” and how it informs the direction of his current material.

“This upcoming phase focuses on growth—across sound, visuals, and personal life,” he noted. “Through ‘have to.,’ my goal was to strip back the layers and stay authentic, creating a platform where raw openness and self-assurance collide.”
