Fella Words by Julia Beverly Photo by Terrence Tyson
ATHLETES TRACY MCGRADY, AMARE STOUDEMIRE, AND RAY LEWIS HAIL FROM FLORIDA’S POLK COUNTY, BUT ASIDE FROM THE REGIONAL SUCCESS OF LOCAL RAP GROUP OHB’S “PARALYZED,” THE AREA HAS YET TO SEE A RAPPER BREAK THROUGH. FELLA GAINED A REPUTATION AS AN UP-ANDCOMING RAPPER WHILE SERVING A TWO YEAR SENTENCE AT BREVARD CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION. HE LANDED A DEAL WITH BIG GATES RECORDS SOON AFTER HIS RELEASE, BUT NOW THAT THE DEAL HAS GONE SOUR, HOPES TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS ON HIS OWN.
