“I’m still talkin’ my shit,” Richmond, Virginia rapper Fly Anakin stealthily asserts on his latest track “No Dough.” Indeed. The new single, which was produced by Madlib, announces Anakin’s debut studio album Frank that’s out March 11 on Lex Records. The forthcoming album—following a steady, prolific outflow of projects including last year’s Pixote and his second collaborative release with Pink Siifu, $mokebreak—features recently released singles “Ghost” and “Sean Price.”

“No Dough” is a concise, energized statement reflecting on childhood and the rapper’s own life-long fight for growth. It comes with a Skyler Vander Molen–directed visual that finds Anakin making a quick stop for some cash and whiskey shots.
