UFO Fev & Vanderslice "Enigma of Dali" (Album Stream)

Harlem emcee UFO Fev and Phoenixville-based producer Vanderslice team up for a collaborative album, 'Enigma of Dalì,' that blends surrealist art vibes with raw street rap for one of the year’s most immediately engaging releases. Both artists continue to shine on this LP after dropping a number of impressive projects in 2020. For Fev, it was a period of incredible consistency as he put out 'Fresh Air,' 'From El Barrio, With Love,' and 'The Ghost of Albizu,' produced entirely by Statik Selektah, Termanology, and Big Ghost Ltd, respectively. As for Vanderslice, he’s coming off the release of the 'Trendsetter' EP, which paired some of his dopest beats with the likes of G Perico and Ty Farris, among others, and recently handled production for OT The Real’s latest single, “Kensington Beach” featuring the legendary Beanie Sigel. With 'Enigma of Dalì,' we’re seeing two like-minded artists push themselves even further as they embody the experimentalism of Spanish Surrealist Salvador Dalì. “He became my muse, and someone whom I began to study,” Fev explains. “In my free time, I’d watch his interviews and would begin to pen lyrics. Subconsciously, I was writing from the point of view of someone misunderstood, very much like Dalì was.” This is another really solid project! Listen below... and props to the homie Matt Diamond over at Coalmine Records. 

UFO Fev & Frank The Butcher "The Thrill" (EP Stream)

UFO Fev follows up his phenomenal release with Big Ghost, The Ghost of Albizu, with this latest 6-track EP produced by Frank The Butcher entitled The Thrill. This is some gritty New York City hip-hop here boasting "intricate story telling and production led by a one man orchestra," says their album-blurb. Born in East Harlem, growing up in Thomas Jefferson Houses, UFO Fev was inspired by his favorite rappers like Big Pun, Jay-Z and Beanie Siegel. He's been rather prolific in recent years, so hit the archives for other dope releases and props to Frank The Butcher, who has a handful of dope mixtapes in the archives, as well. Listen to Fev and Frank The Butcher's The Thrill EP below...

Big Ghost Ltd x UFO Fev "The Ghost of Albizu" (Album Stream)

I can't resist, I gotta let the homie, Big Ghost, say it in his own words (again): "Yall already kno I don’t like to “sell” shit or “convince” mfs to support.. What we do over here is “present” n “offer”... or more accurately “bless” mfs witta opportunity to be a part of some shit that can truly have a monumental impact on how they navigate thru the turmoil n the chaos of this thing we call life... PARTICULARLY in what can only accurately be described as possibly the most trash year of this entire century/millenium so far. So while we most likely gon look back on this period of time in human history as some real hot garbage years that happened to reach its absolute f#ckery zenith in the year 2020 (God willin)...hopefully we can look back n say AT LEAST SOME FIRE DROPPED THAT YEAR. That brings us to the album at hand nahmean. Thats right I said ALBUM.. not mixtape or project or “tape”...This shit is a true ALBUM album. Every song serves a separate purpose n the shit still all clicks together like Duplo blocks. I aint gon hype shit too much but its basically like the Puerto Rican Thriller or Purple Rain. So dont sleep. Produced by Big Ghost Ltd. All songs written & performed by the Big UFO. All zigga ziggas performed by the illustrious DJ Grouch. All instrumentation by the infamous Hector Puente Colon Jr & The Santiago Men’s Basketball Philharmonic Orchestra. Vinyl is on the way!" - Big Ghost. Big fan of both of these artists. Listen...

UFO Fev & Termanology "From El Barrio, With Love" (EP)

East Harlem's UFO Fev is back with another one! This time around, he links with the good homie Termanology and keeps it consistent with another 7-track EP entitled, From El Barrio, With Love. The description of the EP shares, "El Barrio's own born and bred wordsmith UFO Fev, hooks up with the Lawrence, Mass' legend Termanology for From El Barrio, With Love. Taking the helm of production on this offering, Term provides UFO Fev with a landscape of pure organic boom bap which allows the emcee to deliver in pocket. From El Barrio, With Love, is UFO & Term's first collaborative effort, with Fev coming off of his Fresh Air release with Statik Selektah, this is surely one for the record books. Latinos STAND UP!!!" Definitely one of my favorite 'new' artists, check it...

UFO Fev & Statik Selektah "Fresh Air" (Album Stream)

East Harlem's own UFO Fev hooks up with the legendary DJ/Producer Statik Selektah for his latest release, “Fresh Air”. Entirely produced by Statik Selktah, “Fresh Air” combines smooth, soulful driven loops to which Statik is best known for. Accompanied by UFO Fev's slick verses, the listener can visualize the sharp wordplay provided by the NYCHA-raised emcee. In a time of repetition, “Fresh Air” is just that: Fresh Air!

UFO Fev & DJ J Hart "Émigrés" (EP Stream)

Emigre: a person who has left their own country to settle in another. This defines DJ J Hart, a French native who left his homeland in search of the purest form of hip hop NYC has to offer. After packing his equipment and hitting the road, Hart's journey led him to Spanish Harlem, NYC. Home of UFO Fev. The legendary Fat Joe has called him "the Spanish Nas," which is a heavy shadow. UFO Fev has been bubbling up the ranks as an emcee, now linking with J Hart to craft a fresh raw sound that captures the heartbeat of the underground as well as hints of Fev's charisma with cuts like, "Mr. Officer" & "Running It". Émigrés is a short, but really dope body of work. Listen to it below...

UFO Fev "Camouflage EP" (EP Stream)

East Harlem emcee UFO Fev connects with Talahassee, FL native BackPack Beatz for their first effort, the Camouflage EP. Filled with smooth bravado and slapping beats, the 7-track EP is making a wave with the banging lead single, "Mister Nice Guy." In 2016, the Harlem MC released two quality projects, the joint Taxes EP with producer Rich Lou and Area 51-inspired Blue Room Sessions. With shows in NYC and the records landing on radio and some of your favorite playlists, I expect a lot of the labels to come calling - if they haven't already? Listen to Fev's lyrical Camouflage EP below...

Fev "Around My Way" (Album Stream)

Around My Way is the collaborative album from Bronx MC Fev and producer Elemnt. This joint came out of nowhere to me, I don't know much about Fev, but I'm diggin' the bars and ear for production. The project is 14 tracks and roughly 40 minutes long, shared from Fev's soundcloud page as a single track. Not optimum for a listening experience, but fortunately there are no real skips on this dope effort, which also features Brook Penning, Jose Santiago, 1Shot Dealz & Red Inf. Keep an ear to the street for this one as I'm sure we can expect a lot more from Fev. (Updated: UFO Fev. Hit the tags).
