Acclaimed artist Sy Ari Da Kid has just dropped his captivating new single “FT4E (First Time For Everything),” and it’s already proving to be one of his most intimate and adventurous tracks to date. The song serves as our first taste of his highly anticipated R&B album My Next Ex, which is set for release on April 18.
The track showcases Sy Ari at his best, combining his signature storytelling ability with smooth, sensual production that perfectly complements the song’s explorative themes.
“On “FT4E,” I explore a sexually limitless experience with my partner, knowing that while we’ve both gained a lot of experience, there’s always a fantasy she hasn’t explored yet,” Sy Ari explains. “I’m open to discovering and sharing those new experiences with her. Let’s step outside our comfort zones and try things we’ve never done before!”
What makes this release particularly impressive is that it marks the prolific artist’s fifth R&B album and his second full project of 2025 alone. Just last month, Sy Ari released The Last Shadow In The Shade, which concluded a thoughtful rap trilogy created for artists and anyone who has felt overshadowed or unrecognized in their industry. That album received significant critical acclaim, with AllHipHop naming it a “must-hear album of 2025” and publications like XXL and VIBE featuring it in their album picks of the week.
Fans of visual content will be pleased to know that Sy Ari recently released the music video for “A Block Away From The Corner Store” from his previous album, filmed in his old neighborhood on the northside of Atlanta. Additionally, a video for “Rebellion” featuring Benny The Butcher and CyHi Da Prynce is scheduled to drop in the coming weeks.
Beyond music, Sy Ari has been making waves as the co-host of the “Sy Ari Not Sorry Show” podcast alongside Lord Owen. The show covers music, culture, and a range of engaging topics, often featuring notable guests like Mal, CyHi, and Dr. Umar.
With over 100 million streams under his belt, 10 gold and platinum plaques, and collaborations with industry heavyweights like Travis Scott, Rick Ross, Bryson Tiller, and T.I., Sy Ari Da Kid continues to prove himself as one of the most versatile and consistent talents in hip-hop and R&B today.
“FT4E” demonstrates why Sy Ari remains such a compelling voice in music. While also having a ability to be simultaneously be vulnerable and confident creating an irresistible experience that leaves us eagerly anticipating what My Next Ex will bring when it drops next month.
