Song Title: Pump Fake 
Artist: vyle 
Producer(s): Shy Guy, Thomas Welch
Label: Newhive 
Release Date: 11/11/2015

A reference to Michael Jordan's famous technique and also a synonym of indecision, this collaboration with producers Shy Guy and Thomas Welch entitled "Pump Fake", is vyle's unbiased take on the current view of "what a rapper is" vs "what a rapper is expected to be", enveloped in postmodern slang and rap centric jewels. 

"Pump Fake" is also the first single from vyle's upcoming experiential album, 
"A Ü T O/M Ö T O R" and includes cover art by Nick Martin and Timothy Saccenti. 

The album will be released via multimedia publishing platform Newhive. The songs from the album will include immersive environments, engineered by Mary Scahill, and will feature a host of visual, vocal and production collaborators including Chapman, Neuport, Cities Aviv, Jeanette Hayes and many, many more. "Pump Fake" will be available everywhere 11/11/2015 via newhive.

Pump Fake (Prod. By Shy Guy & Thomas Welch)

ROADS is a room-scale gallery that was architecturally inspired by Chicago's Field Museum and The Met in New York City, with art from a longtime friend of mine, Jeanette Hayes. Her art touches on themes like technology, art history, pop culture, anime, and a lot of other things that remind me of growing up in Chicago. The track also features a verse by Haleek Maul from Barbados. The environment for PASSCODE is a depiction of modern love affected by technology in the city. There are also references to having your phone broken into, "sinking" apprehension, "water works", and privacy. AMERICAN DENIM is a song about a woman that leaves her normal life to join the entourage of traveling musicians. The environment embodies the "cold-shoulder" or "cold-hearted" mindset of people without regard for others. The scene also includes a 3D scan of NAR, modeled by AKLØ NYC. The ability to click-through to each environments definitely makes each setting feel like separate worlds in the same universe.
