If you don\u2019t know FKi 1st<\/u><\/a>, you definitely know his music. The Atlanta-based super producer and one half of the FKi duo is responsible for chart-topping hits like Post Malone\u2019s \u201cWhite Iverson,\u201d 2Chainz\u2019s \u201cWatch Out,\u201d and more. <\/p>\n

And it goes without saying that he\u2019s not taking his foot off the industry\u2019s neck anytime soon. Diversifying his music outside of just hip-hop, the beat-master who goes by 1st Down has also taken the world of electronic music by storm, with dance-inducing festival sets and mixes to boot.<\/p>\n

And with a cross-genre control of both hip-hop and dance music, there\u2019s no better label partnership for the A-Town rapper\/producer than Diplo\u2019s Mad Decent. With the label\u2019s backing, FKi 1st has spent the last two years releasing his weed-fueled Good Gas<\/em> mixtape series.<\/p>\n

This Thursday, the rapper and super producer FKi 1st<\/u><\/a> came through our SoCal studio to kick it with host Noah Rubin on our 4:20 talk show, About That Time. <\/em>He sat down and talked Billboard hits, Mad Decent mixes, and of course, lit up that good gas. <\/p>\n

Other hits from the mixtape series Good Gas Vol. 1 & 2<\/em><\/u><\/a> feature original songs from the likes of 2Chainz, A$AP Ferg, MadeinTYO, 03 Greedo, and more. Each have each amassed millions of streams and helped elevate 1st Down and the FKi team into must-have producers for rappers across the industry. <\/p>\n

Bringing the mixtapes to life, FKi 1st has teamed up with Mad Decent for a set of Good Gas<\/em> dance parties at SXSW, Coachella, and most recently Tokyo. The lead single from Vol. 2<\/em>, \u201cLiv A Lil\u201d<\/u><\/a> featuring UnoTheActivist and MadeinTYO, recently got the video treatment, and is poised to take off as 1st Down\u2019s next hit.<\/p>\n
