Dr. Fuller opens his latest musical chapter with the father-son collaboration “UPGRADE,” marking the next phase of his education-themed album series and setting the tone for listeners to improve themselves. The song was written by his son DA and is the lead single from his upcoming project The Syllabus – Junior Year.
The video for “UPGRADE,” which debuted online this week, pairs the duo’s back-and-forth verses with images that reflect themes of personal improvement. Their collaboration highlights the growing trend of multi-generational collaboration in hip-hop, where family dynamics increasingly influence creative output.
Dr. Fuller’s “Syllabus” series has built a following by positioning artists as musicians and mentors by combining inspirational themes with real-life guidance. With Junior Year, he continues this framework, giving listeners a new album designed to encourage discipline, ambition and practical growth. The Quarter Zips & Matcha reference is a recurring theme within their brand, embodying a lifestyle that prioritizes balance, improvement and financial awareness.

In this latest chapter, Dr. Fuller leans into the idea of education through experience, crafting a narrative that connects family, creativity, and financial literacy. UPGRADE marks the series’ transition into a more mature phase, setting the stage for an album rooted in growth and the pursuit of better results. The song bridges the gap between personal development and hip-hop expression, propelling Fuller’s mission forward while inviting listeners to climb with him.
