Felix De Luca & Ghost Notes Come Together Creating Project , "Global"

Felix De Luca and Ghost Notes tap into a unique bag as their sound is only likened to certain other artists including Mach-Hommy and Mavi (to a great extent). Stylistically, artists in Felix de Luca’s vein don’t always get the shine hats deserved due to their non-flashy and low-key rap style— almost monotone —laid over hypnotic and trance-like samples and loops. With their niche sound, Felix De Luca and Ghost Notes combine talents on Global to create a standout album.

I’ve been so focused on finding music that breaks the monotony of the typical sounds and felt of the mainstream media. Global by Felix De Luca & Ghost Notes brings sonic authenticity and confidence that derives from the duo’s track record of working together.

Felix De Luca objectively has a style similar to poets and MCs like Boldy James, and Westside Gunn, even hearing hints of Earl or Mick Jenkins. While he similarly executes his cadences to the aforementioned acts, where Felix De Luca excels is the way he is able to unravel his intricate bars and storyteller with the best.

Most Recently Felix De Luca and Ghost Notes released Global, a project highlighted with songs like Don Cheadle, Rio de Janeiro, Manaka Hong, Issey Miyake, Bed of Cash, and Red Toe Iversons. He laces his storytelling bars with undertones of affluence to entrance listeners and fans into this rich state of mind…something like hypnosis, “My side chick dances on Tik Tok/ my main bi*** don’t like hip hop/ blood money trickle down to the wristwatch/ ___ drip down to the flip flops” exemplifies stylistically where this group gravitates and can truly make even the most broke feel as though they’re experiencing the eccentricities of being a high-roller. Similar to the “Griseldas” of the industry, Felix De Luca and Ghost Notes give their take on modernizing a seemingly legacy style.

Felix De Luca and Ghost Notes excel at combining their talents in their most recent project, forging a place for them not only on fans’ playlists but in the culture.
