When people talk about FELIP’s love for Japanese culture, the first things that come to mind are anime, manga, music, and fashion. But what many don’t realize is that his admiration goes beyond entertainment and style — it also extends to cars, specifically the iconic JDM scene.
Recently, FELIP gave fans another glimpse into this passion through snaps from Carbonzone Unlimited, where he was spotted upgrading his very own Toyota Supra. The Supra is a legendary car in the Japanese automotive world, celebrated for its speed, power, and cultural influence. For FELIP, owning and personalizing such a car reflects not only his taste for performance and aesthetics but also his deep appreciation for Japan’s craftsmanship and engineering.
Just like in music and fashion, FELIP’s choices in cars show his versatility and distinct taste. He doesn’t just follow trends — he curates and creates his own statement. Whether he’s on stage, in the studio, or behind the wheel, FELIP carries with him a culture-driven passion that inspires his fans to embrace their individuality.
“ID” by SKY-HI feat. RYOKI, RYUKI, JIMMY, and FELIP
FELIP’s fascination with Japanese culture also bleeds into his artistry. This was first evident in his collaboration on “ID” by SKY-HI feat. RYOKI (BE:FIRST), RYUKI (MAZZEL), JIMMY (PSYCHIC FEVER), and FELIP — marking his very first Japanese collaboration. The track brings together powerhouse talents from across Asia, with FELIP humbly contributing his own raw energy and edge while blending seamlessly into SKY-HI’s dynamic production.
He later made a special appearance at SKY-HI’s DUNK in Japan early this year, January 2025, on his birthday — performing ID on stage as part of a powerful rap collaboration. It was a milestone moment that further showcased his growing connection with Japan’s music scene.

Beyond Japan: FELIP’s Dual Persona in Cars
Beyond his ties to Japan, FELIP has also shown love for other car cultures. In one of his Instagram stories, he revealed his two prized supercars — his Toyota Supra and a sleek Ford Mustang. The pairing perfectly mirrors his dual persona: the Supra representing his passion for Japanese performance cars, and the Mustang reflecting his bold, powerful edge rooted in American muscle.
Together, they capture FELIP’s global outlook — blending influences from East to West, just as he does in his music and artistry.
