Fivio Foreign is switching up the energy and taking things in a completely different direction with his latest release, “SOLDIER,” featuring The Fire Choir.
The Brooklyn rapper just dropped the official music video for the gospel-infused drill track, and it’s definitely not your typical Fivio Foreign release.
Known for his hard-hitting Brooklyn drill sound, Fivio brings that same intensity to “SOLDIER,” but this time he’s surrounded by a full choir, giving the track a spiritual feel while still keeping the raw edge that fans have come to expect from him.
The collaboration with The Fire Choir immediately separates the song from the rest of the current rap landscape. Instead of simply putting together another aggressive drill record, Fivio blends street rap with gospel elements, creating a sound that feels both powerful and unexpected.
“SOLDIER” officially arrived on Friday, September 11, as part of a busy day for new music. The track was listed among the notable hip-hop releases scheduled to drop this week, alongside new music from artists including EST Gee, Rich The Kid & Gunna, Quavo & T.I., and others.
The timing also makes the release interesting because Fivio has already shown that he isn’t afraid to experiment with religious and choir-driven sounds. His previous connection with The Fire Choir goes back to “Chasin’,” another collaboration that brought the Brooklyn rapper together with the gospel group.
But “SOLDIER” feels like a different kind of moment.
The choir gives the record an almost church-service atmosphere while Fivio’s delivery keeps it firmly rooted in hip-hop. It’s the kind of combination that could have easily gone left, but instead creates a unique contrast between the darkness often associated with drill music and the uplifting sound of gospel.
And that’s exactly what makes the video worth watching.
Fivio has spent years building his reputation around Brooklyn drill, working with some of the biggest names in hip-hop and helping push the New York sound into the mainstream. His voice and delivery are instantly recognizable, but “SOLDIER” gives listeners a different side of the rapper.
The Fire Choir adds another layer to the record, bringing powerful group vocals that make the song feel bigger than a standard rap single.
The release has already started getting attention across hip-hop circles, with the song appearing on new-music release lists and fans sharing the track online.
Whether you’re a Fivio fan, a drill fan, or somebody who just likes hearing artists step outside their comfort zone, “SOLDIER” is definitely something to check out.
Fivio Foreign has made plenty of records about the streets, the pressure and the lifestyle that comes with them. This time, he’s bringing the choir with him.
And the result is one of the more unexpected Fivio Foreign releases we’ve heard.
“SOLDIER” featuring The Fire Choir is out now, along with the official music video.
