1234 finds FTO in higher education mode at Cypher Univercity (Documentary) where we thoroughly demonstrate each element of the hip hop culture that has so thoroughly shaped our lives. The lyrical aggression comes from witnessing the wackness that y’all perpetuate, that’s insidious and our response to rap for dope North Carolinians’ bottom line, dispensing with sucka MCs will always be an issue, and we’ve had a knack for handling business lately.

Filmed in Boone & Asheville, NC, and in Knoxville, TN, this is the follow up to the Summer Ransom series of videos that helped propel FTO to win Best Hip Hop Group at the 2015 Carolina Music Awards. The production comes from Dylan Guye (Greensboro, NC), who has several songs on our upcoming album FTOLive.

Our upcoming full length project FTOLive will be released later this fall. It will star myself, L!VE, and Jet along with features from Jrusalam, Tuscon, Hunter, Pragmaddix, and Chachillie with production from P.U.R.P., Dylan Guye, Flue, Millie Vaughn and more.
