New Album: No Safety Net

August 13, 2025

Fellowman returns after a 4-year sabbatical with No Safety Net, an album of fierce protest rap in the Immortal Technique/dead prez tradition, written mostly over a weekend & recorded in a single day. With raw production largely by the artist himself, with assists from Poe Mack, GriffMcFly, XLondabeat & Kimchi, the album hits hard with ripped-from-the-headlines subject matter.

Walking Tours was an album/site-specific art installation by Charlottesville, Virginia hiphop artist Fellowman. The project sought to link the experience of listening to its songs with the tangible locations that inspired or are otherwise significant to them.

The installation consisted of eight different QR codes posted in various locations in greater Charlottesville. Scanning the codes with a smartphone took listeners to private links for each of the album’s songs. As of August 23rd, 2021, the only way to hear the full album was to visit each of the sites & scan the codes one by one.

The 8 songs of Walking Tours are all narratives in the hiphop storytelling tradition, specific to the Charlottesville area & focusing on systemic inequities arising from its racial & class tensions. 

Encouraging listeners to travel on foot reinforces one of the album’s themes: the gulf between those accustomed to viewing the city from the sidewalk, & those who view it through the window of a car.

On September 10, 2021, Fellowman released the album to the general public in digital & cassette form.
