Feid is a Colombian singer-songwriter and producer.  He’s achieved success worldwide and has worked with artists such as Bad Bunny and Karol G.  The Latin Grammy nominee brought his FERXXOCALIPSIS Tour to the Delta Center on February 15.  I must admit that I had only heard of Feid, but was not well versed in his music.  That being said, I was told that I was in for an entertaining evening.  I was looking forward to seeing what the Urbana Latin music star was all about and what this tour looked like.  Turns out I was in for quite the evening.
