That "Nautilus" gets flipped again for the latest from the homie Skyzoo, "FGR (First Generation Rich)." Watch Sky and his accomplice prepare for the heist, below, in the Pacool directed visuals (song produced by Jahlil Beats). The cut will appear on Sky's upcoming mixtape, Theo Vs JJ (Dreams vs Reality), which will be streaming and iTunes downloadable on Wednesday. Sky's next LP, A Dream Deferred, will be out October 2nd via The Faculty/Duck Down Music Inc. Read Sky's breakdown of the track, after the jump, as well.





"The idea for #FGR came from me watching an Oprah Winfrey special on the Miami Heat's recent title win, and she askedDwyane Wade about his life now, as opposed to when he was a kid in Chicago. He went on to talk about being the first one in his family to have any type of "real money." In doing so, he used a slogan, "first generation rich." Oprah acknowledged said slogan, thus signaling that she'd known of/used the term as well when describing what that new found life turns into, and just like that it hit me. FGR. First Generation Rich. The idea of being the first one in your family, the first generation on your side, to make it."

"Produced by Roc Nation's Jahlil Beats, the track said everything I needed it to before I even began to write to it. The idea for the "Theo vs JJ" mixtape was to show the vast differences between highs and lows, living to win and winning to live, fortune and misfortune, FGR. So, shout out to #FGR and everyone who's ever felt that feeling within them, this one's for us."-Skyzoo
