Audio: Fekky – ‘Make It Out’

Following his mind-blowing performance at 1Xtra’s Grime Symphony last week, Fekky has dropped surprise new track Make It Out.

Taking a complete about-turn from his previous Skepta tie-up Way Too Much, Make It Out hears Fekky slick things back a notch, instead delivering a head-nodding rap/R&B jam that drives inspiration to those striving for success in an oft-criticised genre.

Of the new track, Fekky says

“Performing at the Royal Albert Hall [last] week and thinking on all the crazy adventures this journey has taken me on, all the mad times with my brothers (the stories I could tell u) has inspired me to drop this record tonight. Coming from where I’ve come from and the journey in life I’ve been on, not many get to step onto a stage like that….. The odds are stacked against us. All the brothers we’ve lost to the game or prison, I’ve had to fight many demons to stay on track. Hate, rumours and all sorts of shit. But those who know me know I’m REALLY from the streets, so I don’t expect fake niccas to understand coz they ain’t cut from that cloth. When u see so much bad and negative in ur life, if u are offered a positive opportunity u grab that with both hands. People think I’ve made it, but I’m far from where I wanna be – I thank God and everyone that’s supported me to get me where I am today! With a positive mentality and hard work ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE! In my day half the fake shit we allow these days would never be tolerated, I blame social media. With that said, I just wanna see my brothers MAKE IT OUT.”
