Floco Torres to release new single from forthcoming mixtape
Akron-based rapper Floco Torres has just announced that he’ll release a new single next week ahead of a new mixtap.
Due out on Jan. 31, “Wish You Well Remix,” is a collaboration with fellow Northeast Ohio musicians Tommy Lehman, SmokeFace and Nathan-Paul. The single represents the first release from the forthcomingLehman and Torres began discussing a collaboration after running into each other at Frank's Place on Market. Lehman then invited Torres to join him onstage during Lehman’s EP release show in December of last year. Torres freestyled over the original song to a sold-out crowd at BLU Jazz.
After that, Torres reached back out to Lehman with the intention of writing a verse that fit the vibe of the song more so that it would fit on an upcoming mixtape release. “After the response we got at the show, I wanted to go back in on the record and really write something better tailored to how beautiful the song is,” says Torres in a press release. “I had already been toying with the idea of releasing a mixtape early in 2023, but I felt I didn’t have a song that really anchored the tape like I did in previous parts. The ‘Wish You Well’ instrumentation fits perfectly, and I get to collaborate with guys that I love what they do.
The releases come as Torres is preparing for a string of solo shows as well as performances with his band Free Black!, which performs on Feb. 10 at the Knight Stage at the Akron Civic Theatre in Akron supporting local singer-songwriter Angie Haze.
