FANA returns with fourth full-length album, ‘FANAbyss’

FANA’s fourth full-length album, ‘FANAbyss, is about his panic disorder. The LP was produced by Humbert, Psycoban, Kimparkchella, G-Slow, and more.

Veteran rapper FANA released his debut album in 2005. Four years later, he dropped his first LP and followed it up with his second in 2013. His third LP, ‘FANACONDA‘, came out in April 2017. Now, a good year later, he has returned with his fourth LP, ‘FANAbyss‘.

2. a difficult situation that brings trouble or destruction

The six tracks on this album are FANA’s memoirs of his panic disorder. The rapper describes varied emotions he felt during the attacks. FANA’s long-time colleagues Humbert, Psycoban, Kimparkchella, and G-Slow produced the tracks.

“In an ice-cold water tank
I’m like a fish. [It’s] An obscure
time or place
I wait for something there
A total wreck, a living corpse
The tumor of hope”
-Watertank

By the way, FANA has performed track number six, ‘Guiding Star’, at many live events before. YouTube has a number of videos of it, like this one at UGLY by The Ugly Junction in May 2017.

“The guiding stars will shine in [the] dark
Those times when you’re hurt
When you want to forget a nightmare
When there’s no today to live
Shut your eyes tight
and embrace the universe”
-Guiding Star

You can find FANA’s new LP on YouTube (see below) and on iTunes/Apple Music.
