Three cities, one sound.
"US Never Them" is a cut off 4 The High, the collaborative album between UFO Fev and Danish producer Machacha, released August 6, 2026. The configuration makes perfect sense: Fev from East Harlem, Eto from Rochester, Machacha from Copenhagen. Different corners of the map converging on the same aesthetic. The track kicks off the second act of the album, with both MCs preparing for war over a piano-driven boom bap beat.
UFO Fev is East Harlem to the core. Born and raised in the Thomas Jefferson Houses, inspired early by Big Pun, Jay-Z and Beanie Sigel, he has built a reputation as one of the most consistent street-rap voices to come out of uptown Manhattan. His catalog runs deep, from The Ghost of Albizu series through 4 The High and beyond. He raps like someone with something to prove and the technical ability to back it up.
Eto is the ideal feature here. The Rochester MC has been one of the most reliable names in the underground for years, his gravelly delivery and coke-rap imagery fitting Machacha's cinematic production like a glove. The Fev and Eto pairing works because both come from the same lineage of no-frills, bars-first East Coast rap. Rochester and Harlem are not far apart in spirit.
Machacha is the connective tissue. The Copenhagen producer has quietly become one of the most trusted names in international boom bap, with a catalog of collaborative albums that spans the underground on both sides of the Atlantic. His specialty is exactly what you hear on "US Never Them" — dusty, cool, cinematic beats that lean into their own atmosphere. A Danish producer scoring a Harlem and Rochester collaboration is the kind of borderless connection that only the underground makes happen.
