ON THE COVER:
BRENT FAIYAZ

Indie R&B artist Brent Faiyaz has scored a stunning chart debut with WASTELAND (Lost Kids via Venice/Stem), the culmination of several years of artistic growth and a thoughtful launch by his management/label team. The Colture-repped artist, though posed in a straitjacket on the cover of our latest print edition, intends to steer clear of the madhouse that is HITS.
