We are delighted to announce Farma G’s debut solo album ‘How To Kill A Butterfly’ is scheduled for release January 31, 2025 on High Focus Records. An opus across 13-tracks, steeped in classic Task Force energies but also very much rooted in the now, ‘How To Kill A Butterfly’ ranks high on Farma’s illustrious discography… “I had hung up my microphone pretty soon after Task Force had finished recording MFTC5 in 2013. I still dabbled, and did features for anyone who asked but for the most part my time as an MC seemed to have passed. As the years rolled by I grew more focussed on producing and working with rappers from the UK and USA like Conway the Machine, Rome Streetz, Mach Hommy, ILL BILL and Vinnie Paz, however, I was unsatisfied. Something was missing… I have always been very competitive as a rapper, going by the old rules of ‘I’m better than you, I’m the king, I am the best’ and I began to have those feelings again. I wasn’t impressed by what I heard coming from the UK rap community so I dusted off the pen, bought a new writing pad and began to write again. At first it was just fragmented poetry and nonsensical words jumbled together, but slowly it began to come back to me. The concept behind ‘How To Kill A Butterfly’ is connected to my roots with Task Force and the end of that particular journey. Task Force fans will be familiar with tracks such as ‘Butterfly Concerto’, ‘Butterfly Reprise’ and ‘Butterfly Effect’. The title of my new album is symbolic of the end of an era and the rebirth of a new one. Throughout this album I have strived to establish a connection to a time and place that made me feel like I was alive and excited to write, thrilled to have people hear what I had cooked up and most of all proud to be able to say ‘I belong here’. I want people to hear this record for what it is…a Farma G record.. My connection to the past and all things that have come before this moment are always kept close enough for me to ground myself firmly in this scene but the future holds so many new and exciting twists and turns and this is the start of that journey. I am not trying to keep up, I’m trying to take it back; not ‘back in time’ but ‘back to where it belongs’… TRACKLIST: 01 - Cats and Dogs 02 - Bearskin Coats 03 - Junkyard 04 - Say It How You See It 05 - Classic Tech 06 - Here Come The Gods 07 - Peet 08 - In Between The Lines 09 - Found That Funny 10 - Angels 11 - Me Oh My 12 - Goat Shit (feat.
