Felt is an underground hip-hop supergroup consisting of Slug (of Atmosphere) and Murs (of Living Legends). Formed in the early 2000s, the project serves as a creative outlet for two of the most influential figures in the independent rap scene.
Their sound identity is defined by a 'tribute' concept, where each album is named after a specific actress (Christina Ricci, Lisa Bonet, Rosie Perez), though the lyrical content rarely focuses on the subjects themselves. Instead, they use the framework to explore themes of fame, touring life, and personal growth. The duo's career arc is marked by collaborations with different elite producers for each installment: The Grouch for the first, Ant for the second, Aesop Rock for the third, and Ant again for the fourth. Critically, they are praised for their chemistry and for bridging the gap between the Minneapolis (Rhymesayers) and Los Angeles (Living Legends) underground scenes. They occupy a central position in the 'indie rap' boom of the 2000s, influencing a generation of rappers who prioritize storytelling and emotional vulnerability over mainstream tropes.
