Hopefully he realizes that he needs to experiment and push boundaries. Look at Yeat and where that got him. He's never gon go mainstream if he sounds like Don Toliver 2.0.

Fr. Artists don’t realize they gotta establish themselves and a sound before they can switch it up without losing fans. At the beginning of your career fans are listening for a specific sound. They only support a switch in sound when they support the artist too. Faygo didn’t develop a strong enough connection with fans nor did he establish the sound that people listen to him for.

Love Faygo but this is True and hopefully This serve as a lesson for him and the ones coming up: BE YOU..Stop tryin to replicate Uzi and Carti formula..it works for them because it was super Rare back in the days.. if you're not ESTABLISHED there is no reason to ghost fans for 2 years at all..not sayin drop like crazy bc I rather quality over quantity BUT atleast be Active you feel me? also 1 advice for those who are makin music bc they want to make it out..

U new underground fans are so weird bro back when that first underground wave came 2014-15 we were bumping artists getting 1,000 views on soundcloud because we actually enjoyed the music and movement. I remember bumping people like X wen he had less then 5k views on songs. They named it the “underground” for a reason and it was dope to see artists grow into superstars organically without having to worry about getting signed as their only way of being heard. Now yall bashing underground artists for not hitting superstar numbers, the criticism for faygo is somewhat understandable because of his hiatus but if u were actually a fan you would just enjoy the music and not be worried how many other people like it. yall just hop on trends like lames and thats not what the undergrounds about at all.

[@prxnce286]

damn faygo .. i remember when he was on top of the underground. he had everything in the palm of his hands image, fans, hype, etc. sad to see him fall off like this but hopefully he can make a comeback. it’s safe to say yeat took his spot and now faygo doesn’t really know where he fits in. :(

Definitely still too early to consider his career a wash right now tho.... once Travis gets back to dropping music I think we'll see him really help Faygo for sure.

[@mystic8668]

He needs to make hype music again, his songs are good slow, but in this era it’s not good enough to take him to the next level. Tiktok would eat his hype songs up, imagine if he dropped “Shut up” he needs to make songs with that type of songs.

[@Satan_Sen]

How tf he sound like Trav? Wouldn’t he lean more into bouncy beats or even rage beats if he wanted to sound like trav more? Trav don’t do slow vocals and slow tempos like that. I think Faygos concept for the album was that of a slower tempo. But I do hope he keep experimenting, shit sounded good. But I can agree w some of the album feeling generic after listening a few times. But some of those songs got DEPTH to em in the production, it’s nice to see him on well produced songs and shit he still has great potential.
