Funky Feeling Wes Felton

I Love Wes Felton’s Funky Feeling. Wes Felton is without question, one the coolest alternative neosoul Artists to come out of DC. I’ve often wondered, what is it that keeps him trapped on the underground scene? Does he lack the tenacity of Common or booking power of the Roots to build a following outside of DC? I haven’t a clue. Like Raheem Devahn, Meshell Ndegeocello, Mya and JC Chauvez, he should climb from the obscurity of the underground to a nationally recognized musician. For more than 15 years Wes Felton has been on the DC indie neo soul underground scene making great music, opening for neo soul artists whose tours stop in DC like Eryka Badu, the Roots and Omar at the 9:30 Club. Yet there has been little traction. With the use of a creative college PR team Wes Felton could be as well known as the Black eye peas, however, the lack of national media buzz has trapped him on the DC underground scene. When he ever take that Leap? Only time will tell. Until then, check out that Funky Feeling below.
