Fedd the God is a quickly rising artist to be on the lookout for. From Northside Pittsburgh, the talented rapper and songwriter has been going hard with putting out music, releasing fire visuals, and has been able to perform his music live in front of large crowds this year. In fact, Fedd The God just recently just finished a lineup of festivals this summer, including performing at Smoker’s Club Festival, Lyrical Lemonade Summer Festival, and opened up for Wiz Khalifa and Logic for their Vinyl Verse Tour this summer, which was his first official tour. Fedd The God is also set to perform at Rolling Loud New York in late September.
“What pushed me to just pursue [music] was more so it was the only thing that kept me happy … I seen myself doing it. I saw longevity,” Fedd The God tells RemixMag in an exclusive recent interview through Zoom.
Known for his Sense of Urgency EP which garnered an impressive two million streams and counting, the Pittsburgh native has also worked alongside Grammy Nominated recording artist Wiz Khalifa in songs such as “Activated” and “Yea Yup,” which single has garnered over two million streams and earned the lyricist a spot on Spotify’s global playlist New Music Friday.
“Literally Sense of Urgency, I made that mixtape in 3 days.” The 5-song EP includes head banging songs such as “Activated“, featuring Wiz Khalifa, and “Strip Club Jesus”, featuring fellow label mate, Juicy J. He says that he hopes to have future collabs with artists such as Lil Wayne, Linking Park, and Beyonce.
Now, the lyricist returns after a summer full of productivity with his latest release called, “Fortnite.” Fedd The God released this single while he was on tour, accompanied by an official visual. The video showcases the artist’s energetic and fun side, and are of course inspired by the Fortnite video game.
Believing in himself and building a buzz around his region has scored the determined rapper a deal with fellow Pittsburgh native, Wiz Khalifa’s Taylor Gang record label. He jokingly compares the feeling of being signed as being the “new quarterback for the Steelers.”
Aside from creating music, Fedd says he really enjoys performing live.
“That’s my favorite thing to do. I love rapping in the booth, but hitting that stage is where I come up out of it” he tells RemixdMag.
As for what Fedd The God has in store for the remainder of the year, he plans on releasing a new project as well as merging his love for music and video games together.
