Atlanta’s very own Jarren Benton is back with a vengeance on his latest single, “F.A.F.O,” produced by the seasoned hitmaker M16. Known for his razor-sharp lyricism and unfiltered delivery, Benton once again proves why he’s one of the most respected underground voices in hip-hop.
From the jump, “F.A.F.O” — short for “F** Around and Find Out”* — sets an aggressive tone. M16’s production is a masterclass in controlled chaos, blending booming 808s with dark, cinematic undertones that perfectly complement Benton’s high-energy bars. The beat doesn’t just support his verses; it fuels them, creating a sound that’s both menacing and magnetic.
Lyrically, Benton delivers with his signature mix of clever punchlines and raw emotion. He takes aim at fake rappers, industry politics, and anyone doubting his consistency. Lines like “I’ve been lethal since the MySpace days” remind listeners that Benton has been putting in work long before trends took over hip-hop. His flow switches are effortless, moving from rapid-fire delivery to a confident snarl that commands attention.
The accompanying music video only amplifies the song’s intensity. With gritty visuals, quick cuts, and an unapologetic attitude, Benton brings the track’s energy to life. It’s a visual representation of the song’s message: real recognizes real — and everyone else should stay out of the way.
“F.A.F.O” is more than just another hard-hitting single; it’s a statement. Jarren Benton shows he’s still as sharp, hungry, and fearless as ever. With M16 on the boards, the chemistry between artist and producer is undeniable — a reminder that when it comes to authentic, unfiltered hip-hop, Benton doesn’t miss.
