When we last spoke with FELIX!, he was fresh off his breakout feature on Brent Faiyaz’s “Upset” — a moment that helped take him from sleeping on couches to finding stability and success as an underground artist from Brockton, MA, known for his genre-bending and experimental sound.
Now, a year later, Felix is back on Bad For The Community to catch us up on everything that’s happened since. From his full-circle feature on Saba’s album (after first DM’ing Saba years ago for advice) to opening up about battling depression since his teens, Felix kept it real with us from start to finish.
We also touched on the current state of hip-hop, including the news of no rap songs charting on the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time since 1990 — and why that might actually be a good thing for an oversaturated genre. We chimed in on the NBA YoungBoy vs. Lil Wayne debate, white people’s space in hip-hop, and his seemingly never-ending beef with a certain Boston artist.
Felix also announced his upcoming album “Industry Plant” (dropping November 21). Tap in and enjoy the conversation!

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
