Although there was speculation that he would require open-heart surgery, Flee Lord clarified that his cardiovascular surgeon inserted a stent through his wrist to open the blocked artery. This restored healthy blood flow without the need for major surgery.

Open-heart surgery was discussed only as a contingency plan if the initial procedure failed. The stent placement was successful and he posted the visuals of it in his wrist.

Also, an echocardiogram showed there was no permanent damage to his heart, allowing him to begin recovery with standard physical therapy.

Flee Lord has also been mourning the loss of his father along with two close friends in a relatively short period of time. He has continued creating music, despite the losses.

The Far Rockaway native recently released his latest full-length album, Everything I Never Said, featuring songs including “Coinless” and “Floor Seats.” He also joined forces with Tiona Deniece for the collaborative project Mask & Glove.

Outside of recording, Flee Lord continues building LordMobb, the independent label and LLC he has developed into a platform for both established and emerging underground artists. The collective has become a staple of New York’s independent Hip-Hop scene.

For now, the biggest victory is making it through the harrowing experience of surviving a heart attack and avoiding open-heart surgery.
