A boundary-pushing group that mixed hip-hop with electronic and avant-garde sounds in Japan's underground scene.
For a good sense of FEEM's range, try 'Dead Wrong' for their harder side and 'The Real Thing' for something more melodic. Both show what made their Tokyo underground sound distinctive.
FEEM's music documents a specific moment in Tokyo's underground hip-hop culture when artists were willing to get raw and experimental. Songs like 'Dead Wrong' show their hard-hitting side, while 'Astroboy' features guest appearances that expand their sound. They maintained their right to express themselves through music despite criticism, which gives their work an authentic edge.
FEEM formed in Tokyo around 2008, coming up through the city's underground hip-hop scene. They released their self-titled debut album in 2012, which captured their eclectic approach to mixing hip-hop with electronic and avant-garde elements. The group built a cult following with their boundary-pushing work, though their explicit content kept them somewhat outside the mainstream.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
