Detroit up-and-comer Ty Farris is on a mission to infiltrate the borders of Michigan with his own brand of Hip Hop. As he prepare to unleash his debut LP, Room 39, he’s turning up the heat with his new track, “Maintain N Survive” featuring fellow Motor City rapper Nash. Produced by Trox, the track puts his storytelling abilities on display and easily draws the listener in to his tale of the war he faces simply trying to survive on the streets of Detroit.

“I was thumbing threw some Trox beat folders and came across the beat,” Farris tells DX. “The sound of it felt like it was time to go to war with the Russians. So I spun that feeling into describing the war that I dealt with growing up in Detroit and surviving. I wanted to make it easy to digest, but still be lyrical. So I was bouncing a little on it to showcase skills, but the objective was to paint the picture of surviving and the hook was the perfect summary of all the verses.”

Room 39 is scheduled for release at the top of the new year. Listen to the song above and cop it here.
