Where to eat, drink and shop in Singapore according to rapper Fariz Jabba

A viral freestyle phenom, rapper Fariz Jabba blew up with 2018's 'Ape Sia', racking up millions of views before locking in with M03 Records and Def Jam SEA. He switches fluidly between English and Malay, infusing softness and swagger into bangers that feel unmistakably local. Whether he's remixing National Day classics like 'Dari Sini', headlining Levi's Road to FAM, or popping up at block parties and fashion drops, Jabba exudes an effortless sense of cool that makes him a standout in Singapore's music scene. For Jabba, home represents safety and comfort. 'Home is a place where I feel secure enough to express how I really feel without fear of judgement,' he reflects. 'Feeling at home means being surrounded by your close ones and sharing laughs or spending quality time.' The musician is a passionate champion for the local creative landscape, and is excited to witness a network of artists spread out across the globe, proudly representing the country he calls home. 'The future of our local creative scene is in great hands. From Yao to Syaz Smooth, Singaporean creatives are secretly making waves all over the world. I hope the country uplifts them more in echo channels as much as we can. To me, with their immense performing skills and insane work ethic, their breakthrough is an eventuality.' Here, the rapper shares favourite third spaces in Singapore—from the local eatery he'd rather gatekeep to under-the-radar stores, bars and neighbourhoods he keeps going back to.
