Acclaimed rapper, singer, songwriter and podcast host Sy Ari Da Kid debuts “FT4E (First Time For Everything) – listen here,” the lead single from his upcoming R&B album My Next Ex, set for release on April 18. Known for his versatility as both a rapper and singer, Sy Ari delivers emotionally driven lyrics, raw storytelling and smooth melodies on this latest release.
“On FT4E, I explore a sexually limitless experience with my partner, knowing that while we’ve both gained a lot of experience, there’s always a fantasy she hasn’t explored yet. I’m open to discovering and sharing those new experiences with her. Let’s step outside our comfort zones and try things we’ve never done before!”says Sy Ari.
The album marks the prolific artist’s fifth R&B album and second album release of 2025, following last month’s The Last Shadow In The Shade, which concluded a rap trilogy created for artists and anyone who has felt overshadowed or unrecognized in their industry. Listen to it here. The album was named a “must-hear album of 2025” by AllHipHop and was included in album picks of the week from XXL and VIBE.
Last week, the music video for “A Block Away From The Corner Store” from The Last Shadow In The Shade album was released. Watch it here. Filmed in Sy Ari’s old neighborhood on the northside of Atlanta, it captures the familiar vibe of hanging out on your front porch or just outside your building, steps away from the corner store. Up next, a video for “Rebellion” featuring Benny The Butcher and CyHi Da Prynce is set to drop in the coming weeks.
Moreover, alongside Lord Owen, Sy Ari Da Kid co-host a podcast and YouTube series titled the Sy Ari Not Sorry Show. The show covers a wide-range of topics, including music and culture, delivering authentic and engaging episodes that often feature celebrity guests. Recent guests have included Mal, CyHi and Dr. Umar. Check out the Sy Ari Not Sorry podcast here.
