The Song:

With a massive grassroots fanbase, an easy charisma, and a deep musicality, Connecticut’s Felly is the next East Coaster to blow. Skillfully negotiating the bass-heavy syncopation of the dancehall-flavored instrumental, Felly shows his versatility on “Wide Angle,” his latest single. Flashing a melodic rap-n-b flow, Felly declares his devotion to a woman who knows what she wants. Featuring an energetic guest appearance from Dancehall emcee Konshens, “Wide Angle” is a potent combination of dancefloor-friendly beats and ethereal soundscapes, ideally suited for the beach or the club. Premiered by Zane Lowe on Apple Music’s Beats 1, “Wide Angle” is the latest single from Wild Strawberries, Felly’s upcoming album.

The Background:

Born and raised in Trumbull, Connecticut, Christian Felner aka Felly grew up immersed in hip-hop music. Using passion as his guide, Felly taught himself how to make beats on a laptop in his parent’s basement. The aspiring rapper began to make a name for himself as a producer by selling said beats on YouTube. After relocating to Los Angeles, the rapper released two solo projects Waking Up to Sirens and Milk and Sugar. The projects featured Dreamville signee Ari Lennox and frequent collaborator, GYYPS. As his music caught more attention, Felly began working with more talented producers resulting in the release of his mixtape This Shit Comes in Waves. The mixtape’s success resulted in a 31+ city headlining tour and a SXSW appearance. Recently, Felly has relocated to New York City, where he has been gearing up for the release of his next album Wild Strawberries due out later summer 2017.
