Chicano Batman reveals five things you didn’t know about the track “Fly” and the creative behind its music video.
Chicano Batman: Hey, this is Chicano Batman, and these are five things you might not know about our song “Fly.”
One thing about “Fly” that you don’t know is that it was actually meant to be really slow — a lot slower than it is. In the studio, we ended up making it a lot faster. Our producer and also Eduardo were like, “Oh, we should speed it up.” And that’s what it is now, but we was just talking to them about, maybe, putting out a version that’s slower because it’s actually really dope.
No. 2: The dove in the music video is not CGI. This guy is a bird whisperer. It’s birds in his family — runs through his Salvadorian blood and he has a calling with animals.
Another thing that you might not know about “Fly” the music video: It was directed by these Argentinian sisters called the Giraffe Sisters. And they approached us with this amazing mood board that just had basically, like, Prince’s second album cover and was like, “Let’s make this album cover look into, like, a music video.” And it was just paying homage to artists like Funkadelic, Prince, Rick James. Yeah, we had a lot of fun with it, you know, very tongue in cheek and silly and it was a lot of fun to be on set for.
And then when we were in the studio actually making … after we tracked everything and it sounded, you know, banging and it was just huge coming from the speakers after we recorded it. I heard big background vocals kind of, like, very kind of just, you know, Funkadelic ’80s, you know, funk and that’s when I heard those big backup vocals. And shout out to Maya, who sang on it, and her crew, they killed it.
The bass has a reverb. Check any other Chicano Batman song. No other song has reverb on the bass but “Fly” because why not? There are no rules.Watch the full video above!

6lack reveals five things you didn’t know about him to Billboard!6lack: Hey, this is 6lack and these are five things that you may not know about me.
One thing that you may not know about me is I really, really love and enjoy road trips. Anytime that I can have a moment to pack my car up and go, whether it’s North California, South California, North Georgia, South Georgia — I love to get in my car and drive as far as I can drive.
Another thing that you may not know about me is — or you might know about me — solitude is, like, one of my most favorite things in the world. I can sit in silence for hours and hours and hours and just be at peace, so nothing is wrong with me. I’m not depressed. I’m not sad or anything, I just enjoy my space and I enjoy peace and quiet.
I prefer to work in the morning time. The 5 to 7 a.m. window is a really really creative window for me to work. I used to do late-night sessions, but now I prefer super early morning session.
When I was a kid, I had a big issue eating vegetables. It was, like, I could sit at the table for hours with my head like this and just be playing with my food, or I was just, like, spread it out and make it look like I ate it. Sometimes I’ll take it to the bathroom and scrape it in the toilet, scrape it in the trash, but it a serious … like, I’m just not rocking with these.
I hate a great portion of white substances, so milk. I hate it. Mayonnaise, I hate it. Vanilla ice cream, I hate it. Whipped cream, I hate it. Yeah, anything that’s, like, reminiscent of those, I don’t really rock with at all, but milk is at the top of the list. I really, really despise milk.Watch the full video above!
