4t9 Breaks Through With Purposeful Debut Single “Freedom”

If you’re looking for a new artist who brings both grit and intention to the mic, 4t9 might just be your next favorite discovery. The north London rapper launches his journey with “Freedom”, a debut single that doesn’t try to impress – it just does. Confident without being overdone, raw without losing clarity, “Freedom” is the kind of song that hits hardest when you’re in grind mode, focused, and pushing through whatever’s trying to slow you down.

Lyrically, 4t9 makes it clear that he’s not waiting on anyone’s validation. He raps with the poise of someone who’s been patient but now fully ready to take his shot: “Me and my Gs ain’t sleeping / Till we’re the best known.” There’s hunger here, but it’s controlled. Every bar feels measured, not just for flex but to fuel. The chorus, with its mix of references – “A little bit of Sade, a little bit of rap” – shows he’s not boxed in by genre or expectation. This isn’t drill for drill’s sake – it’s drill with perspective.

Paired with a clean, high-energy visual directed by ODXC, “Freedom” comes to life with a sense of urgency and self-belief. It’s not flashy, but it doesn’t need to be. 4t9’s presence carries the weight. This is an artist who knows what he wants to say and isn’t wasting any time saying it. For a debut, “Freedom” doesn’t just introduce 4t9 – it sets the pace. And if this is how he’s starting? The scene should pay attention.
