They aren't breaking up, but 1st, one half of the foundational Atlanta production set FKi, is beginning to branch out.

Earlier this week, 1st announced his first solo venture with the release of "For What It's Worth," a woozy track which he produced on his own and performs on, alongside Chicago singer NJOMZA. Today, he is back to share a video for that track (above) as well as details for what will be his debut solo project.

Titled First Time For Everything, the six-track project is slated to feature appearances from Bankroll Fresh, iLoveMakonnen, Post Malone (whom 1st is largely responsible for), Danny Seth, and more. "There’s hip-hop, R&B, alternative songs on it," 1st told The FADER in an email. "I got to work with my friends and grow musically and mentally through this project."

As for the "What It's Worth" video, it is sweet and simple: mostly close-ups of 1st and NJOMZA set against iTunes visualizer-style animations, but also a bodega hang. It was inspired by the song's lyrics, 1st explained. "The video is just really simple with cool visuals," he wrote. I tried to be normal, but that shit ain't work.

He added: "Gotta thank James DeFina and Sean at Mad Decent for helping to bring it to life."
