Rotterdam rapper Feis (Faisal Mssyeh) made himself heard in 2006, when he participated with U-Niq on his CD Rotterdam. In the following years Feis contributed to tracks by, among others, Winne, Kempi and Hef, but own material, although always announced, took a long time to come. In 2014 his debut Hard Van Buiten Gebroken Van Binnen, after the EP Gebouw Voor Dit was released earlier in the same year.
The title Hard Van Buiten Broken Van Binnen suggests that Feis wants to demonstrate that there is more to the image of street boys from Rotterdam-West. He does this with a deep voice, which can be raw and comes into its own with heavy beats, such as in Als Jezoekt. But Feis does not shy away from quieter tracks with a striking piano or saxophone (Excuses, Superman), in which he shows a more introspective side. The different sides of Feis and his music make Hard Van Buiten Gebroken Van Binnen a successful debut. (IV)more
