Feng Releases SUMMER AT CAMP LAKEPINE EP

U.K. rapper Feng has released his new Summer At Camp Lakepine EP. Out now, the seven-song set plays like a moment away from the spotlight, finding the rising star locked in with a single friend/producer, Lakepine, while sharing unguarded bars that feel like pages from a LA diary. Over brightly fuzzy beats fit for summer nights, Feng explores the ups and downs of love, lust, friendship, and fame, while his trademark romanticism shines through it all.

Standout track 'Coachella' is a glittery banger set to hard bass, crystalline keyboards, and chanted vocals, the song would sound right at home blaring from a festival stage. With inimitable sweetness, Feng pens an ode to his would-be 'desert Cinderella,' rapping, 'Flowers everywhere, glitter in your hair / You're so rare, you're a unicorn affair.' But the sing-song verse is for all of us: 'Yeah you came to party, it's why I came here too / Dance all night in our dirty shoes.'

Feng announced the EP one week ago by sharing the kaleidoscopic kiss-off 'Fake Friends.' That same night, he brought his renowned party-throwing skills to Venice Beach, where he performed the new songs to fans gathered on the sand. It was an especially fitting setting. That shows.

As Lakepine mixes up woozy synths, gleaming melodies, distorted drums, and hazy textures, Feng pours out his innermost thoughts, looking back at young love on '2023 Summer'; pitting the hedonistic highs and lonely lows of sudden stardom against each other across the beat switch on 'Diary,' and holding nothing back on the tale of romantic betrayal that is 'Vomit.', pitching in on 'Smile Through The Pain,' a glowing tribute to outsiders everywhere.

Summer At Camp Lakepine arrives as Feng continues to bring his breakout debut album Weekend Rockstar to festivals and clubs on both sides of the Atlantic. After selling out the North American leg of his Weekend Rockstar Tour, Feng launches the EU/U.K. portion on September 8. In between, he's continued his run of riotous festival appearances, springboarding off of an acclaimed Rolling Loud performance to conquer stages at Lyrical Lemonade Summer Smash, Germany's Splash!, Switzerland's Openair Frauenfeld, and Poland's Clout, where he commanded a huge crowd that stuck it out through a storm to party with him.

Among other recent milestones, Feng also covers HIGHSNOBIETY as part of their annual music week series. The cover story touches on the creation of Summer At Camp Lakepine and, more broadly, notes that 'Feng isn't chasing a scene, he's building his own colorful punk universe.' And after making a splash during Milan Fashion Week as part of an underground invasion that swept through the Gucci runway show, the 20-year-old rising star is the new face of Vans' 'Off The Wall' campaign — Feng spoke to HYPEBEAST about it.

Released in February, Weekend Rockstar is equally informed by the U.K. underground scene that Feng came up in and by alternative visions of pop that have reshaped radio around the world. With genre-melting aplomb, the colorful 13-song set channels the joyous messiness of youth, held down by the artist/producer's mellow delivery and guiding 'positive punk' energy as he navigates love, ambition, and success.

Weekend Rockstar was written, recorded, and mixed by Feng himself, with co-production by him and Bilal Hamdi. The album was preceded by singles like the breakout 'XOXO' alongside 'J*b' and 'Cali Crazy,' which capture Feng's recent transition from nine-to-five monotony to neon-streaked weekends. He also dropped the dreamlike video for 'Firework,' a bright song that embodies the heart of the album with lyrics like, 'Don't know what's coming for you, but I know it's something bright / You're like a firework, that's about to light.'

Feng entered the year leading The FADER's 'Artists to Watch in 2026' lineup and is also a member of their current GEN F class. Additionally, he landed on similar lists by Complex, Pigeons & Planes, and Ones to Watch, who wrote, 'Feng's music bleeds personality and charisma, somehow painting a picture of a young visionary who is both painstakingly polished and effortlessly brilliant.' Feng's also become known for his increasingly legendary throwback house parties, which have been the subject of vivid scene reports by Interview Magazine, DAZED, and Pitchfork.

About Feng

Born in Croydon, British-Filipino rapper and producer Feng is a frontrunner in the UK's underground rap scene, playing a crucial role in its now-global status. Feng garnered a cult fan base through early loosies like 'M.I.A' and 'Princess', woozy tour-de-forces in sub-two minute storytelling that touched on emotions far greater than their durations. Breakout mixtape What The Feng continued this traction, a smoky ode to growing up in a city, replete and party-ready beats that demonstrate Feng's skills as a producer.

On self-written, recorded, and produced debut Weekend Rockstar and new EP Summer At Camp Lakepine, which was written and recorded nomadically across LA with BandLab and wired earphones, Feng's world switched from Croydon to California. Both projects are inspired by Feng's time in America, where he runs a house party series that has helped to revive the culture in cities like LA, Orlando and New York. Feng, and often his parties, have been covered by Dazed, Pitchfork, and British Vogue.

The EP was announced with kaleidoscopic lead single 'Fake Friends', which came with a video which Feng creatively directed and edited. The rapper's strong creative vision, D.I.Y. ethos and ability to capture emotion have set Feng as a bright and distinct standout to his peers, earning co-signs from influences including Kid Cudi, and Skrillex. He's embarked on sold-out headline tours across America and Europe, and appeared at festivals such as Rolling Loud and Summer Smash.
