Pink Siifu connects the two artists behind “La Quinta”: Fly Anakin made FlySiifu’s with him, while Real Bad Man produced Real Bad Flights. Now Anakin and Real Bad Man share the billing themselves, with an official video introducing “La Quinta” from their forthcoming album Bad Blade. The partnership brings Richmond’s Mutant Academy cofounder together with a producer whose recording operation grew out of a clothing brand. Adam Weissman launched Real Bad Man with illustrator Noah Butkus, initially planning records to accompany the clothing collections. Taking on production himself led to a relationship with Boldy James and the albums Real Bad Boldy and Killing Nothing. Anakin brings his own history of working closely with individual producers, including Foisey on Skinemaxxx. In a 2025 Style Weekly interview, he explained that his writing usually begins with a beat, which he lives with before words arrive. The published lyrics to “La Quinta” offer a glimpse of what enters that process. Boasts about his pen and references to travel give way to electricity bills, the cost of cooking and the need to feed his children. The verse places those domestic demands alongside the speaker’s claims to space in rap, making the business of writing inseparable from what it has to support.
