Melodic rapper Fetty Wap was released from federal prison to home confinement in January after serving just over half a six-year sentence for his role in a drug trafficking scheme. And now he has a new album, titled “Zavier.” The artist born Willie Maxwell II tells Associated Press music editor Maria Sherman that the album features a lot of different sounds.
Collaborators include Tink, Wiz Khalifa, Max B and Fetty Wap's sisters. Fetty Wap says he didn't want to make an album about his incarceration, but he didn't want to avoid it either. He hopes “Zavier” gives his audience a feeling of “good energy” and “positivity.” #fettywap #hiphop #interview
