Jaden Smith's album Syre is due out this Friday and ahead of that, the rapper/singer/visionary has dropped off his latest single, "Falcon" featuring Atlanta's Raury. The young artists connect on a fusion of dance and acoustic and find a middle ground with both of their sounds.

"Falcon" is the latest single off of Jaden Smith's album and it's definitely a good indication of what he has in store for his upcoming project. Smith premiered the single on Beats1 earlier today where he discussed the song's creation.

"I can’t even go back to the first time that we've met because I feel like we’ve always just known about each other and we've always just been so appreciative of the work that each other does. I feel like one time, we just linked and really connected. Ever since then, we just knew like 'dude, you're my guy.' Like, me and Raury are super, super close and like, our vision for the future and for music is really, really similar.” he said.

Quotable Lyrics
I am not afraid to walk the lonely road
I'm so curious of where to go
who really cares?
We won't be there
