RVA hip hop artist Fly Anakin just dropped some visuals to go along with his single, “machinegunfunk” that he released back in the fall.

I like both the single and the video. His sound and the visuals take you back to old school hip hop. (Ya know, when it was still good.)

It has a similar vibe to his EP, Elsewhere Ave, which he dropped back in July.

It has a feeling of authenticity and rawness, and his smooth vocals flow over a sick beat. Ohbliv produced the single and Satelite Syndicate’s oldneon directed the music video.

This guy is rapidly on the rise here in RVA and is contributing a lot to the local hip hop scene so be on the lookout for more from him.
