Feng

Presented by Öctöpus How can less than 16 minutes of music across 10 tracks spark such an underground earthquake?

19-year-old English rapper Feng doesn't quite have an answer when reflecting on his first project, What The Feng—a dense, impactful album born from the burgeoning British underground scene, teeming with drill and trap variations.

Unlike most current releases, his latest album Weekend Rockstar relies on a tight circle of producers—led by Bilal Hamdi and Feng himself—prioritizing consistency over abundance. What distinguishes Feng lies not only in his atypical rise but also his message.

In a scene emphasizing vanity, his alternative music emanates altruism and positive momentum. Optimism without excessive moralizing, partly forged by his personal convictions.
