(The) Forever Dream

Fly Anakin approaches his craft in a way few contemporaries can. Vigilant yet unorthodox, DIY-minded yet prolific, the Richmond, Virginia multihyphenate’s razor-sharp lyrics, ear for soulful production, and collaborative synergy are the result of over a decade of fundamental mastery.

(The) Forever Dream commemorates a new era of freedom for Anakin. Executive produced by Quelle Chris and featuring the likes of Denmark Vessey, BbyMutha, Pink Siifu & the Alchemist, the project includes songs Anakin believes are some of his most experimental and ambitious.

The long anticipated project comes after years of Anakin and Quelle developing a strong rapport, stemming back to 2019. “Quelle is one of the best collaborators ever—he’s not biased but he knows what he likes, open minded but stubborn at the right times,” Anakin says of his collaborative relationship with the Grammy-nominated producer. “On the low we just alike but polar opposites, we can do no wrong together.”
