Fivio Foreign has linked up with producer Miniboom for a new single “Bag On Em.” The track will be featured on the young producers upcoming album.
On Thursday (May 18), the New York rapper posted the upbeat single alongside Miniboom — who is the son of legendary music video director Benny Boom.
“It was a great session,” the teenaged Miniboom told HipHopDX. “I had no idea he would actually pick a beat because it was the first time meeting him.”
With “Bag On Em,” Fivio opts to go with the noticeable, but infectious Brooklyn Drill sound while still providing bars that bob and weave through each 808 and hit-hat present.
“I gotta make ’em know (I gotta make ’em know)/They stealin’ and takin’ flows, uh, that boy better play his role/I don’t got it on me, I’ma break his nose, uh (Baow)/I’m fuckin’ her fast (I’m fuckin’ her fast), she like, “Fivio, take it slow” (What?)/I’m like, “Chill, baby girl, that’s the way it goes” (Nah)/If you come to my city, better pay the tolls (Yeah),” he raps on the track.

“Bag On Em” is the first music Fivio Foreign has released after recently revealing that his Gangsta Grillz mixtape with DJ Drama was postponed.
On April 30, Fivio announced via Instagram that his highly anticipated project with DJ Drama was unfortunately delayed. He didn’t explain why, just saying that “it didn’t go as planned.”

“The Mixtape I wanted to dropped ain’t go as planned so imma do something special for the fans dat been waiting for the album deluxe & this mixtape.. Im not gon say when but in a minimum of 13 days imma drop #WithOutWarning PROMISE all unreleased fires juss for y’all,” he wrote at the time.
Fivio announced back in January that he would follow in the footsteps of Juelz Santana and Pusha T by releasing a DJ Drama Gangsta Grillz mixtape.
In other related news, Fivio Foreign teased new music with Kanye West in April while also flexing a framed Grammy nomination letter for his contributions to Ye’s 2021 Donda album.
Fivio teased the rambunctious single as part of an Instagram slideshow at the time, which featured a melodic Ye on the hook before the drill maestro invades the piano-laden track.
Yeezy sets the tone: “Everyone know it/And I’m not, no I’m not going/Everyone knows it.”
“Because everyone knows it, huh,” Fivio takes the baton and raps. “They never told me the things they couldn’t tell me cus I was younger when I got older/I got demons on my shoulder/But I never see him when I’m sober/If you pass me the 42 it’s over.”
It’s not the first time Fivio and Kanye have collided on wax, as they previously teamed up for Donda‘s “Off the Grid” as well as “Ok Ok.” They unofficially connected on Donda 2‘s “We Did It Kid” with the Migos and Baby Keem, but that only found its way onto Ye’s Stem Player.
However, Ye, along with Alicia Keys, returned the favor by assisting on Fivio Foreign’s “City of Gods” in February 2022, which reached No. 46 on the Billboard Hot 100.
