31 years ago Fredro Starr landed a lead role as Bamboo in his first featured film titled, Strapped. Locations for the film would vary as director Forest Whitaker would capture the early 90’s New York in its essence.

One location for the film would be the Thomas Jefferson Houses. Where an unlikely child & his grandmother stood watching as Fredro made his way through their neighborhood. Capturing this moment in the film as the child stands in the park watching.

Fast forward to 2024, that child has now grown to be Jefferson’s own UFO Fev. Named by Black Rob and connected to the Bronx Legend Fat Joe, UFO Fev now carves his own lane and reconnects with the actor/producer/artist that was filming his scenes that August day.

Strapped, the new album from UFO Fev, produced entirely by Fredro Starr, is as raw as the film. The connection between rhymes and sharp production makes the project cohesive and easy to enjoy.
