Sharing a lyrical journey that vividly paints the human experience, The Unusuals, in collaboration with Fatal Lucciauno, have released their new single, “FINNA BE”. Embodying the grit of traditional hip-hop, the song signals the union of talents hailing from Seattle and the Midwest who have used their craft to create magic.
The accompanying lyric video is a tasteful personification of the song’s meaning. It holds the viewer’s attention with a static image, showcasing the metamorphosis of a Monarch butterfly from cocoon to full bloom, embellished with classic video textures to add life to the image. Providing a poetic backdrop to the lyrics, it symbolizes personal transformation and the tenacity that forms the overarching theme of the song.

Speaking about the track, Ninjaface, one of The Unusuals’ members, explained, “‘FINNA BE’ is about life’s stages, the evolution of consciousness. It expounds upon our resilience and unwavering determination to conquer day-to-day challenges while keeping our eyes firmly attached to our aspirations.”
Riding on the timeless instrumental rhythms produced by SmokeM2D6, “FINNA BE” manages to invoke nostalgia while offering a refreshing contrast to the influx of the often subpar new-age music. The lyrical content of the song strikes straight to the core, projecting a defiant vibe of one determined to rise from adversity.
The Unusuals, comprised of Xperience (XP) and Ninjaface, found their genesis during the pandemic-induced lockdown. The duo’s track record dates back two decades, tracing its roots to the heart of the Pacific Northwest underground scene. Renowned for their contributions with outfits like Oldominion, Grayskul, Step Cousins, and Th3rdz, they’ve amassed an impressive portfolio of collaborative ventures.
Their latest offering, “FINNA BE”, is an auditory glimpse into their cryptic world. Their musical style isn’t tied to any particular regional trend but rather presents a unique blend of punchy R&B hooks and refined wordplay expressed with a disruptive, sometimes almost combative, delivery.
Ninjaface, the skilled narrator, transports the listener into a creatively constructed universe with his potent verbal sketches and unconventional rhythms. In contrast, Xperience triggers a nostalgic nostalgia through his picturesque metaphors and expressive conveyance.
The Unusuals, along with Fatal Lucciauno, are demonstrating powerful unity in their distinct styles through “FINNA BE”, explaining why they have become a promising collaborative unit in the hip-hop genre.
