From Run DMC’s Dookie ropes to Kanye West’s Horus piece, chains have always been essential part of Hip-Hop culture. But while anyone can rock some gold around their neck and think they’re as fly as Eric B and Rakim, medallions are only worthy of a chosen few. Over this Rocky-esque “Gonna Fly Now” beat from J. Cardim, “Medallion” has Fluent revealing the inner-workings of his hustler’s ambition from a hard working youth, to his surreal, lavish lifestyle. Coupled with a hook from Action Bronson, the track is an ode for those who are moving fast from the bottom to the top, a mentality that is frequently showcased on Fluent’s upcoming LP, Supreme Victory, which is produced entirely by J. Cardim. With appearances from Nipsey Hustle, Joe Budden and Guilty Simpson, Fluent is prepared to show and prove that he can last a full 12 rounds and come out victorious.

Diamond Media 360: “Nothing can separate a hustler and his paper chase. Sure, temptations may arise, but at the end of the day, you’ll be one step closer than before. For all of your money making endeavors, “World Go Round,” the latest joint from North Carolina’s Fluent, is the theme that’ll motivate you to make stacks. And while Fluent comes correct with his dizzying bars over J. Cardim’s slick production, Kaze and Guilty Simpson come through to complete the cipher by detailing their journeys from the bottom to the top. “World Go Round” is the 4th leak taken from Fluent’s July 15th full length release LP, Supreme Victory, which is produced entirely by J. Cardim and boasts features from the likes of Nipsey Hustle, Joe Budden, and Action Bronson.. stay tuned!”

If you’ve got the guts to tell the world that you’re the best, you better have the skills to back it up. Talk is certainly cheap in today’s studio gangster dominant industry. And if you’re the type that likes to run your mouth, then consider these bars penned with you in mind. Opting for a mysterious, low key sound instead of the rambunctious trap style that’s taken over the game, “Take You Down” finds the Tar Heel native emcee, Fluent aligned with the incomparable Joe Budden to expose the industry fakes and frauds. Instead of throwing indirect bars, Fluent is actively calling out his nonbelievers, an impressive feat for such a hungry emcee. “Take You Down” is the latest leak taken from Fluent’s forthcoming LP, Supreme Victory, which is produced entirely by J. Cardim, and includes features from the likes of Nipsey Hussle, Action Bronson, Guilty Simpson in addition to, Joe Budden. ‘Supreme Victory‘ is now available for Pre-Order via iTunes.
