Funkmaster Flex greeted him with a friendly scowl and then, before the interview began, delivered a brief update on вЂњCity of Gods.вЂќ He is more than six feet tall and lanky, and he was wearing a red nylon windbreaker by the French fashion house Celine, with matching jeans, and enough jewelry to make it clear which of the guys milling around was the star. The spelling of вЂњFivioвЂќ is slightly misleading: the name derives from an old nickname, Fabio, bestowed by a friend who noticed that women found him charming, and so it is pronounced вЂњFavio,вЂќ though people who know him tend to drop the last letter or two. Someone procured a bottle of champagne, but Fivio was not particularly interested-he prides himself on professionalism, and, although he has rapped enthusiastically about intoxicants ranging from Hennessy to Percocet, he says that he is more focussed on success these days.

Flex was prerecording segments in a nondescript Chelsea office building Fivio and friends were shown to a rather desolate hospitality room, which was full of CГ®roc vodka decorations yet surprisingly bereft of the product itself. Nowadays, it is Fivio who has an entourage, and one evening this spring he paid a visit to Funkmaster Flex with a few friends in tow. But he got famous first, and took a fraternal interest in FivioвЂ™s career: he tried, unsuccessfully, to get the label that signed him to sign Fivio, too, and when he travelled to the Hot 97 studios for an interview, in 2019, he included Fivio in his entourage. Pop Smoke was about a decade younger than Fivio Foreign, who just turned thirty-two. вЂњPop,вЂќ as just about every listener would have known, was Pop Smoke, an ally and friend of Fivio who was approaching mainstream stardom when he was murdered, in February, 2020 his first album, released posthumously, made its dГ©but at No. вЂњCity of GodsвЂќ had a chorus by Alicia Keys, singing, вЂњNew York City, please go easy on this heart of mine.вЂќ It had a newsworthy verse, in which Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, threatened the вЂњSaturday Night LiveвЂќ star Pete Davidson, who was dating his ex, Kim Kardashian: вЂњThis afternoonВ /В A hundred goonsВ /В Pulling up to вЂS.N.L.вЂ™В вЂќ Most important, it had Fivio Foreign, who staged a self-coronation in the trackвЂ™s opening lines: Now he is emerging as the kind of reliable hip-hop star that New York, not too long ago, seemed to have stopped producing.

A few years ago, Fivio Foreign was just one more guy from Brooklyn mean-mugging into the camera in a bunch of YouTube videos. вЂњFivio, I see you,вЂќ Flex said, calling out the rapper behind the track. On this night, Flex was drowning out a new track, вЂњCity of Gods,вЂќ which seemed sure to become a local favorite.

For thirty years, Flex has been New YorkвЂ™s most prominent hip-hop radio d.j., tasked with figuring out what might be popular and then telling people what should be popular-turning audience research into a series of definitive statements, delivered so volubly and so frequently that he sometimes drowns out the music. вЂњThis is what New York City feel like and sound like,вЂќ Funkmaster Flex exclaimed, one recent night on Hot 97.
