Fly Anakin
(The) Forever Dream
The forthcoming album from Fly Anakin exec. produced by Quelle Chris.
Fly Anakin approaches his craft in a way few contemporaries can. Vigilant yet unorthodox, DIY-minded yet prolific, the Richmond, Virginia multihyphenate’s razor-sharp lyrics, ear for soulful production, and collaborative synergy are the result of over a decade of fundamental mastery.
(The) Forever Dream commemorates a new era of freedom for Anakin, who rarely approaches bodies of work without a preconceived concept. Executive produced by Quelle Chris, the project, which features the likes of Denmark Vessey, BbyMutha, Pink Siifu & $ilkmoney with production from the Alchemist, includes songs that Anakin believes are some of his most experimental and ambitious.
The long anticipated project comes after years of Anakin and Quelle developing a strong rapport, stemming back to 2019. “Quelle is one of the best collaborators ever—he’s not biased but he knows what he likes, open minded but stubborn at the right times,” Anakin says of his collaborative relationship with the Grammy-nominated producer. “On the low we just alike but polar opposites, we can do no wrong together.”
The project’s lead single, “My N*gga” featuring $ilkmoney, Quelle Chris and Big Kahuna OG is out now, with the full work releasing in April 2025.
(The) Forever Dream is available to pre-order on 2xLP gatefold heavyweight black and limited Transparent Edge Glow Blue vinyl, cassette, and CD.
