Every now and then, a debut track comes along that feels less like an introduction and more like a declaration. Enter 4t9 – north London’s latest rap export – whose first single “Freedom” isn’t just a song, it’s a rallying cry. Rooted in drill but reaching beyond its conventions, the track showcases an artist laser-focused on growth, grit and grinding towards greatness.
From the opening bar, 4t9 commands attention with a voice that cuts through the beat like a blade. His delivery is steady and unshaken, carrying a quiet confidence that feels earned, not borrowed. Lines like “Sings to the birds like Gaston / Just a couple of words we ain’t gassed on” speak to his lyrical sharpness, while the repetition of “It’s been about freedom, it’s been about racks” hammers home the dual pursuit of independence and success. It’s not just about the money – it’s about what it represents: autonomy, self-worth and the ability to define your own lane.
What’s most compelling about “Freedom” is its balance. 4t9 brings intensity without aggression, introspection without melodrama. The beat is gritty, the flow is clean, and the vision is crystal clear. With a strong visual directed by ODXC to match, “Freedom” doesn’t just introduce 4t9 – it announces him as a voice to watch. He’s not chasing trends or clout; he’s chasing legacy. And if “Freedom” is any indication, he’s already on the right track.
