London-raised Fimiguerrero has been making noise this year in the music scene, with two singles from this year accumulating a million streams each on Spotify alone, referring to hits such as “Vogue,” and “Mandy.” I was first introduced to Fimi by hearing “Vogue,” on Tiktok a few months ago, and at the time, I was hoping that song would be released, but I was let down, unfortunately. As time went on, I would periodically check back on the status of the song. Fast-forward to July, and our ears were blessed with a double feature where both “Vogue” and “Mandy,” were released in anticipation of his most recent project, New World Order.
Welcoming us with nine new tracks, Fimi proves that he can live up to the hype of the lead singles he dropped earlier this year. The production on this project is refreshing, rapping on innovative and unique beats that help Fimi find his sound. Songs such as “Racks Up,” “MVP,” and “Semolina,” are some of my personal favorites, previewing some of the songs days before the release. The flows that Fimi brings to the table are like no other, keeping the listener intrigued and wanting more. The only flaw in this project in my opinion is how short the project is, leaving us with 20 minutes worth of music across 11 tracks. Other than that, Fimi knocks it out of the park with features including YT, LEN, and Sherifflazone.
I’m sure a lot of people are familiar with Fimiguerrero and his music if they’re tapped in with the UK underground music scene. Garnering co-signs from the legendary Lancey Foux as well as collaborating, I see nothing but an extremely high ceiling for Fimi as he’s also been seen with Hardrock and possibly Ken Carson. If you’re into shorter projects, then this mixtape will be your cup of tea in anticipation of his forthcoming LP.
