As a girls' anthem with a darkly humorous message, mannequin rap duo FEMM’s acclaimed song 'Fxxk Boyz Get Money' found an audience with teens and influencers in the United States, quickly spreading around Europe, South America and Asia. FEMM’s debut album Femm-Isation brought Japanese female rap to a whole new audience, reaching the Top 10 of Billboard’s World Albums chart in the US.
In Britain, the Huffington Post highlighted FEMM in its '6 Acts to Watch in 2016' list and HMV included the duo in the Best Indie Albums section at its stores across the UK. Through these global activities, FEMM have blazed a trail as acclaimed female rap artists at home and abroad.
FEMM's love of internet culture made them frontrunners of trends that are now sweeping the world, receiving praise for their reinterpretation of 1980s and '90s J-pop through a vaporwave filter. In 2020, they released their six-song EP '404 Not Found', whose title refers to the error message that appears when a website cannot be found – alluding to FEMM’s brand-new sound that does not exist anywhere else, no matter how hard you look. With their dark vision and aggressive musicality that rides the forefront of the hyperpop boom, FEMM are attracting attention not only from FEMM fans (known as Agents) but from music fans and media around the world.
