Brent Faiyaz has given fans a peek into his globe-trotting lifestyle — both the business and the pleasure — in the new visual for “Best Time.”
Directed by ISO Supremacy, the video is a combination from press runs, shows, parties and more as he croons about being the best time a girl has ever had.
“Say you goin’ where?/Ain’t nobody goin’ if we ain’t gon’ be there,” he says on the song. “Keep her on your arm ’cause she gon’ wanna stay/All the pretty girls wanna be gay!”
Get into the video below.
“Best Time” lives on Brent Faiyaz’s 2023 mixtape Larger Than Life. Clocking in at 14 songs, the project boasts features from A$AP Rocky, Missy Elliott, Babyface Ray, Coco Jones, and A$AP Ant, as well as Timbaland, who makes a cameo on the aptly-titled “Tim’s Intro.”
He previously released a steamy visual for “WY@” from the project, which starred actress Lupita Nyong’o.
Ahead of its Valentine’s Day premiere, the singer shared a preview of what to expect from the steamy visual – and fans were both excited and seething with jealousy upon seeing Nyong’o.
“Lupita, can you fight?” one woman wrote on his Instagram post of the clip. “ngl this had me cheesing and jelly at the same time,” another said, while someone else commented, “She smiling too hard for me…he ain’t said nun worth smiling for.”
Larger Than Life marked Brent’s first release since he signed an “unprecedented partnership” with Steve Stoute’s UnitedMasters last May.
The illustrated cover art, meanwhile, depicts a giant sneaker adorned with the logo of Brent’s NUWO clothing brand stomping a city street, sending several sports cars flying.

The tape followed 2017’s Sonder Son, 2018’s Lost, 2020’s Fuck the World, and 2022’s Wasteland.
The last of these took the Maryland native to new commercial and critical heights, peaking at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with 88,000 album-equivalent units in its first week.
In October, it was certified platinum by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America), commemorating at least one million sales in the U.S.
Wasteland, which received a 4.2 out of 5 score from HipHopDX and was named one of the year’s best R&B albums, boasted collaborations with heavyweights like Drake, Tyler, The Creator, Alicia Keys, The Neptunes, and No ID, among others.
