FELIX! returned to Bad For The Community to share the latest chapter in his journey. After his breakout feature on Brent Faiyaz’s “Upset” propelled him from struggling to find stability to gaining recognition as an underground innovator, FELIX! reflects on the growth and challenges of the past year.
The conversation covered his full-circle collaboration with Saba, a project that came to fruition after reaching out to the artist years prior for guidance. FELIX! also opened up about his long-standing battle with depression, offering a candid look at the personal hurdles behind the music.
Beyond his own story, FELIX! weighed in on broader hip-hop trends. He explored why no rap songs charted on the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time since 1990, framing it as a potential positive for a genre that has become oversaturated. The discussion also delved into cultural dynamics in hip-hop, including the ongoing NBA YoungBoy vs. Lil Wayne debate, white artists’ presence in the scene, and FELIX!’s persistent conflicts with fellow Boston musicians.
Amid the reflection and commentary, FELIX! announced his highly anticipated upcoming album, Industry Plant, set to release on November 21st. His appearance on the podcast underscores both his artistic evolution and commitment to authenticity, blending experimental sounds with unfiltered insights into his personal and professional life.
