It is a new year, and I welcome it with a great discovery of new sound in YFN Key2fly‘s latest album, “Sorry 4 The Wait,” which dropped on December 12th, 2024. There’s no denying that this seven-track collection is one of the competitive projects currently released on the platform, and with this artist’s smooth blend of R&B, hip-hop, and indie vibes in one collection, this guarantees you a 100% great listening experience. Listen to the deeply personal lines and stories performed by YFN Key2fly and get lost amidst the clear vocals and clean spit-fire rap delivery of this rising artist.
I firmly believe in the power of music when it comes to delivering untold messages and emotions, and that precisely is the power of “Sorry for the Wait,” the opener and the title track for this whole collection. Right off the bat, the smooth beats and undeniable groove of the piece will immediately pull you in as the artist perfectly delivers his frustration and resignation through a performance over a situation involving someone that he dearly loved and whom he expects to be with him through thick and thin only for him to be left out in the middle of everything that he’s facing. The artist has successfully delivered a vulnerable message of apology, and it is also a great song that reminds the listeners to be true to themselves, especially when it comes to their limits. It is a great reminder that this is a great introduction to the musicality of this artist, not only that he was able to express himself properly, but also he was able to display the top-tier quality of production that he can offer.
With “Down in Tears,” the haunting sound of the piano in the background will welcome you with haunting effects that fit the whole theme of the song as the artist narrates the tragic incident involving his cousin as they grew up in a dangerous environment. This song will definitely hit a chord in your hearts. With lines like “You left me drowning in my tears,” this carries the weight of the situation that the artist has experienced. YFN Key2fly has successfully relayed his story through heartfelt rap, not only sharing a message but also opening up about how he had to put up walls and not trust people after that traumatic incident.
On the other hand, with “Did U Wrong,” it carries an unmistakable emotional pull brought by the satisfying blend of vocals in the background. I daresay it is a personal favorite, especially since it features a contrast of style as the artist performs his usual spit-fire rap, but now it carries melodic undertones. The song tackles betrayal, but on a deeper and more personal level that makes it impossible to ignore. With the artist’s skillful delivery, he managed to perfectly encapsulate the frustration and the cost of a broken trust from some lies.
But of course, YFN Key2fly wouldn’t end this whole collection without creating a lot more bang. “Outro” rightfully wraps everything up by combining every great element that I loved in all the tracks featured in this collection. From the sharp delivery and tight flow to the clean and smooth production along with the clear messages brought by the song, these qualities pull everything perfectly if combined, and that creates the album “Sorry 4 the Wait.” The other tracks, such as “So Lonely,” “More than Friends,” and “Money Fetish,” add their unique characteristics to the whole collection, so be sure to check them out as well!
This collection is an experience that you wouldn’t want to miss. It will connect to you on a personal level, and with its top-notch production and realistic messages in the lyrics, this project is something that you would definitely enjoy.
