Tha Feelstyle

aka Kas Futialo, Khaz The Field Style Operator, RIQ


Tha Feelstyle’s 2004 album Break It To Pieces was lauded by critics, though that in itself doesn’t guarantee chart success. The rapper behind the album, Kas Futialo, was always more focused on his true goal – to represent the Samoan community to the fullest.

As such, he fused his modern rap style with lyrics in Samoan and melodies picked up from the Pacific music he heard as a child, creating a fresh and unique style all his own.
