Fev - 'Return Flight'

The devil is in the details. It has to sound right, look right and feel right. From those 3 key points, there are many branches as well. The total of them defines an artist and how that artist is received by the public. This is why so many capable artists miss the mark in one way or another. You miss a key detail and it doesn't work.

East Harlem representative Fev obsesses over the details. The public has known about his full length project 'Propaganda' for over 2 years but we've only been privy to bits and pieces of what's to come. 'Return Flight' is the latest look in the direction of 'Propaganda.' 8 tracks of new material clearly packed for brevity as only 3 of the tracks meet or exceed 3 minutes.

Though the run time is under 30 minutes, it's filled to the brim with Fev's attitude and flair. He's decidedly Harlem, well in control and DETAILED. He's better prepared and more refined than ever before for those who've been listening. For those new to his sound, he's going to be brash and exciting. "M.I.L.E." and "Pull Up" are two of the best examples of this.

The project is very well done for 98% of the play through. I really enjoy Fev's cadence and his ability to seamlessly hop between street and radio records. 'Return Flight' is definitely worth a download so hit the jump below and get it!

Fev - "One Way" feat. Red Inf

 

I've been waiting for Propaganda to release since I retired Flight 115 from my car. That was months ago but Fev has kept me at the edge of my seat with audio and/or video releases here and there. This new track just hit the web featuring Queens MC Red Inf. I'm hoping this is an official leak from Propaganda.

Far too many NY based artists are afraid to sound like NY these days. This song gives me the same feeling that I had when Nas released "Nasty". I just want to put on some all black Timberland boots and a ski mask and go intimidate somebody.

Check it out. Play it loud!

Rivals of Time Release Party

 

Last night I willed myself to get dressed and head out into the pouring rain and gale force wind. I hopped into my car and made my way south trying my best to not slide off the road into oblivion along the way.  The destination was Canal Room for the release of Rivals of Time clothing. I also wanted to catch Fev and Siya's performances.

I got downtown safely, parked quickly and after more fighting with the wind and rain I made it inside.  I was a little shocked but more so pleasantly surprised to see a packed house. Despite the horrible weather, people came out in numbers to support their friends. A beautiful start indeed.

The show got started quickly and Fev kicked things off with some of his newest material from the mixtape "3:10 to Prop". His sister, vocalist Brook Penning, threw her stamp on the performance as well and they put the venue in the mood to party.

Siya was next to grace the stage and, for the first time ever, she brought a live band with her.  The band was on point and Siya turned the heat up another notch with her performances. Featured artist Lyric provided her silky smooth vocals on "Fade Away" and "Middle Finger" and the crowd's heads nodded in approval.

I had a great time at the show but I didn't get to stay until the end. It's a good thing I left when I did. This morning it took me 2.5 hours to get to work. Had I not had the little sleep I did, it could have been a nightmare trying to stay awake on the road.

Fev - "Paradise Soda"

What the hell is Paradise Soda? I can honestly say, I have no idea.  What I can tell you is that this track is the seltzer of soda. No filler. Nothing sweet. Just hard carbonated water; and water is life.

Fev is on a rampage right now and is beautifully putting powerful imagery around his art form. Going forward, expect every new release to be accompanied by a visual leading up to the release of his next creative effort, "Propaganda".

Turn your speakers up and press play. Have a sip of Paradise Soda. Hip-Hop won't taste the same after this. I promise.

Fev - "Til I'm Dead" Video Premier

In June, I brought you the scoop on the Mile High Music "Flight 115" mixtape release party. Now, I bring you the first official video from the record! Fev has been working extremely hard on this project and the proof is in the product. Be on the lookout for Fev in the very near future right here in a full fledged interview exclusive.

Mile High Music presents Feva - Flight 115

There are a lot of hungry artists out there.  In this digital age, artists are figuring out how to promote their music and build fan bases without the help of major labels.  For rappers, it all starts with a "mixtape".  Mile High Music is claiming their slice of the pie with artist Feva's Flight 115.  I made my way out to club Hell's Kitchen last night to help him celebrate the release of the project.

After a day of giving the disc a genuine listen, I give it the seal of approval.  It's definitely worth your time to check this disc out.  Feva has some quality music.  Stand out tracks for me were "One Question", "Mid-Air" and "Mile High Club".  The whole disc is head nod material though.  You'll also be pleasantly surprised by featured artist Brook Penning.  Brook has a nice sultry sound similar to that of Keri Hilson.  Check the free download link below after pics from the party.
