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

Aaron makes music about meaningful topics that rocks and grooves – and sometimes it even skanks on a rock steady beat!
His new song ‘Geeks’ has been released on all major music platforms on November 15th. It is an anthem for the heroes of the digital age: computer nerds, also known as geeks. It is driven by an off-beat ska guitar, a sticky bass line and a groovy brass section. The icing on the cake is a jazzy saxophone solo.
“I have always loved Ska, I even saw the Specials, the Selecter and Madness live in their heydays”, says Aaron. “I chose the topic although I am not a geek myself, but I have a lot of sympathy for them. Geeks are often frowned upon because they can be socially awkward, but they are the ones who are building a better world. So I think they deserve an anthem.”
The music video is mostly made up of typography, minimalistic ASCII graphics and heavily pixelated images – it surely looks geeky! Watch it here:
Aaron writes catchy songs that are made for people who like meaningful, uplifting topics and guitar-driven, hand-made sounds. His musical journey started young but it wasn’t until he discovered Bitcoin and became so invested in it that he used music to express his new found joy.
“It’s mostly rock music, with excursions into funk, soul and other styles I grew up with. In general, it’s guitar-driven and hand-made, often with a punkish energy and beatlesque harmonies. What all my songs have in common are meaningful lyrics about being in the here and now, about transforming disturbing emotions into wisdom, about being in the flow, things like that.” says Aaron in an interview.
“I have always been making music and writing songs, starting with a punk rock band when I was 15. However, I never saw it as a career. I played in several bands in my teenage years and my early twenties, but after my media studies in Berlin and Rio de Janeiro I focused on other things. I first worked in TV production and then founded one of the first Internet agencies in Germany. I discovered Bitcoin in 2011 and became fascinated by it. I wrote five books about it, made lots of promotional videos and educational series for Bitcoin and blockchain companies, and organised events. I even wrote some songs about Bitcoin, which became quite popular in the community, like my Reggaeton about the Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador. People always liked that my songs are catchy and provocative. It was by the end of 2023 that I decided to go full in on music. It’s what I enjoy the most, so now I want to fully follow my passion.”
Since May 2024, his songs have been streamed more than 250,000 times on Spotify and his music videos have been viewed more than 350,000 times on YouTube.
