Slayr and SoFaygo have teamed up on a new track called "Try and Fail," the latest preview of Slayr's upcoming project AN+. HotNewHipHop published the single on August 18, 2026, filing it under the outlet's own "Underground Rap" genre tag for the artist.
The song blends fantasy-tinged production with autotuned vocals from both rappers, a combination HotNewHipHop writer Alexander Cole called a natural fit for Slayr's style of taking underground sounds and making them accessible to a wider audience. Slayr was recently named to the XXL Freshman List, a signal that his run of independent releases is drawing bigger attention.
"Try and Fail" is the newest piece of Slayr's rollout for AN+, following a stretch that has included the EP Avant Nova, released in July, and singles like "1AM Freestyle" from earlier this summer. SoFaygo's guest verse continues a run of high-profile features for the Atlanta artist, who has built a reputation for melodic, genre-blurring rap.
The track arrives with its own set of quotable lines already picked out by HotNewHipHop's review, among them Slayr's opening verse: "I wish I could give you the recipe," a hook the outlet singled out as representative of the song's fantasy-laced hooks.
A release date for AN+ has not been confirmed. In the meantime, "Try and Fail" adds to a busy week of new hip-hop singles that fans can follow on the release calendar.
