Talking about the album, 8ky explains,
“I absolutely have a spiritual connection to this album. It’s the beginning of a movement. Fxck Yeah is when you hit that ultimate feeling of pure, honest joy! When you just can’t help yourself, the only thing left to do is say ‘Fxck Yeah!’ It’s that feeling you want to achieve in every aspect of your life. I wanna do something for the people, I wanna help and it’s in my heart to help.” He further continues, “Every aspect of what I’m trying to do is all 8ky and the Fxck Yeah movement. From the live shows to social media…all will be delivered with the ‘Fxck Yeah’ message of fully embracing the moment.”
This album shows 8ky’s growth these last few years, embracing a more spiritual mindset and life. On the journey with him and on this album include Grammy Latin nominated rapper Sensato, as well as Big Bad’s own K.G. Superstar, Chacho Jones, Shev and Kitty K.
