Y2Rio$ x JUAN THE FATHER take love to new heights with “Flight For 2”

Y2Rio$ links with celebrated producer JUAN THE FATHER for his new single, “Flight For 2,” a smooth and Neptunes-esque cruise on the trip that love takes us on, both up and down. Turning to the emotional candor and playful sensibilities of his teenage hip-hop crushes, from Tyler, the Creator to Mac Miller, Y2Rio$ revisits music that led him to fall in love with the genre.

JUAN THE FATHER featuring Y2Rio$ Sounds like Nostalgia in the Mix, an explorative track between two very aligned artists. Juan's intimate lyricism effortlessly weaves itself into three and a half minutes of sonic mastery from this production powerhouse. This is the joint effort that feels both nostalgic and fresh at the same time. “Flight For 2” embodies the thrill and fragility of young love, delivering it over beats reminiscent of early-2000s hip-hop while staying in a modern, buoyant soundscape.

Another layer of personality comes courtesy of the cover art, a creation from Y2Rio$’s best friend and visual artist, Taroboii, that perfectly summarizes the song’s light yet intimate tone. It’s an aesthetic that augments the track's cinematic quality, insisting that listeners do more than hear it, feel it unfold.

To me, this song is inspired by all those love-related hip-hop songs i vibed to during my adolescent years, Y2Rio$ says. So I wanted to create something honest, playful, and timeless all at once. With “Flight For 2,” they are doing exactly that, offering a love letter to the sounds and influences that defined them, and a modern anthem for anyone traversing the elation of connection.
