Rappers Feloneye And King Staccz Team Up For Infectious New Single “Rockstar”

Published

on

Feloneye is a Berlin-based rapper and singer whose records and collaborations inimitably fuse hip-hop, pop and trap. He passionately examines his hustle, sharing the pain and ecstasy of relationships, street tales and overcoming hardships while incorporating inspiring credos. His sound? A slick, echoed voice bent into half-rapped, half-sung shapes. Feloneye sings with an instinctive feel for melodic hooks and imbues his work with his pulsating energy, as can be heard on brand-new release “Rockstar”. 

With “Rockstar”, Feloneye releases his biggest collaboration yet alongside rapper King Staccz, who boasts over 35 million Spotify streams. The song stands out immediately with their impressive rap flows and lyricism as they no doubt look set for another hit. Described by the pair as a smart take on the hedonistic lifestyle of a baller, the track invites the listener to also go and enjoy the high life and arrives alongside equally impressive visuals filmed in New York City. 

Elaborating further, Feloneye says, “My inspiration on this track is an example of my life ­– like I’m a rockstar but I don‘t want to grow up. Been traveling all around the world living that life. I was in the studio with producer Pablo, and he opened up the sample that was orchestrated by rizzo8, who is an RIAA Platinum sample maker. We were really feeling the vibe so Pablo and I came up with the melody, then I wrote the hook, laid down the verse, and he was like, ‘yo my mate Staccz in New York would sound crazy on this one.’ That’s how the feature came into existence. Upon coming to New York, we went crazy shooting the video – it’s a whole movie. Staccz gave us the whole New York experience!”

King Staccz adds, “The music video was really exciting. We went to the Brooklyn Bridge. Cars were flying by in the dark. The lights were hitting. It was nothing but vibes only. From the jump when I was first sent the song to record on it, I was like, ‘this is a hit!’” “Rockstar” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://bfan.link/rockstar-12.

Marz Starlife Makes A Striking First Impression With Healing

Published

Every once in a while, a debut comes along that doesn’t just introduce an artist – it reveals a soul. Marz Starlife’s first EP, Healing, is exactly that. It’s raw, it’s heartfelt, and it doesn’t pretend to have everything figured out. Instead, it leans into the messiness of real life – the mistakes, the heartbreak, the isolation – and tries to make sense of it all through music. Born in Jamaica, raised in the UK, and now back on the island, Marz brings a cross-cultural perspective to his storytelling, but at the heart of Healing is something deeply human: the need to reckon with the past in order to move forward.

Across the project’s standout tracks, Marz doesn’t hold back. In Bad Memories, he opens up about years lost to incarceration, fractured relationships, and the weight of regret. “Spent four birthdays locked up, baby remember me please,” he raps, in a tone that’s both matter-of-fact and aching. The production stays subdued and moody, letting the lyrics breathe. There’s no glorification of the streets here, only reflection. He admits to being young and caught up in the chase for fast money, but he also shows growth, making it clear that he’s not the same person he once was. It’s a track that lingers, not because it tries to be flashy, but because it feels real.

The title track, Healing, is where everything clicks. Marz taps into something almost spiritual as he raps, “I turn pain into power, darkness to light.” The song is layered with poetic lines and subtle emotional shifts, balancing toughness with tenderness. There’s a determination to rise above, even when the scars still sting. He reflects on his upbringing, his time in the streets, and the inner battles he continues to fight. “No shrink can understand how I’m feeling,” he says, and honestly, it’s hard not to believe him. The pain here is too specific, too lived-in. But instead of letting it swallow him, he uses it to fuel something greater.

What’s refreshing about Healing is that it doesn’t try to fit neatly into any one genre or narrative. Marz blends elements of UK hip-hop, Jamaican rhythm, and emotional rap into something that feels uniquely his own. He’s not here to be the loudest or the flashiest; he’s here to be honest. And in a world full of over-produced, over-polished music, that honesty stands out.

With Healing, Marz Starlife has given us more than a debut; he’s given us a mirror into his journey, and maybe even our own. Whether you’ve lived through similar struggles or are just someone who appreciates music with depth and heart, this EP is worth your time. It’s a reminder that healing isn’t linear, but it’s possible, and that sometimes telling your story is the most powerful thing you can do.
