Ace Blizzy’s THOUGHTS IN A BLIZZARD – A Raw And Reflective Journey
Ace Blizzy’s latest EP, THOUGHTS IN A BLIZZARD, is a project that feels less like a typical hip-hop release and more like a raw, unfiltered journal. Ace, a rising artist known for blending jazzy boom bap with silky R&B, has put together a collection of tracks that are as introspective as they are compelling.
Featuring “PRAY4STORMS,” Ace sets the tone with gritty realism, laying bare his struggles and triumphs. The production is sleek yet understated, allowing his lyrics to take center stage. It’s clear that Ace Blizzy is not just rapping—he’s storytelling, painting vivid pictures of his experiences with each verse. The track’s motivational undercurrent is hard to miss, making it an anthem for anyone fighting their own battles.
But it’s not all stormy skies. There’s a sense of reflection throughout the EP, an exploration of personal growth. Tracks like “WEIGHT” showcase Ace’s ability to blend introspective lyrics with beats that hit just right, creating a listening experience that’s both thought-provoking and sonically satisfying.
Recorded with Dub Shakes in North Hollywood, the EP carries a cohesive sound that ties everything together, yet each track has its own unique flavor. Ace’s dedication to crafting music that resonates on a deeper level is evident, and it’s this authenticity that sets him apart from the crowd.
THOUGHTS IN A BLIZZARD is a project that demands to be felt, not just heard. Ace Blizzy is clearly an artist with something to say, and this EP is his platform. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to his music, this is a project worth diving into.

North London’s 4t9 isn’t just stepping into the UK rap scene – he’s kicking the door wide open with his debut single, “Freedom”. Blending hard-hitting drill beats with motivational lyricism, 4t9’s arrival feels bold, intentional, and impossible to ignore. While drill music often leans on themes of street life and bravado, “Freedom” carves out its own lane, focusing on self-belief, focus, and determination.
From the opening bars, 4t9’s delivery is sharp and direct. His tone carries a hunger that feels authentic, as he weaves between gritty observations and personal affirmations. The hook – “It’s been about freedom, it’s been about racks” – becomes a powerful mantra, embodying 4t9’s belief in chasing success on his own terms. There’s no reliance on empty bravado here; instead, 4t9 taps into the mindset of someone who’s faced challenges but refuses to let them define his path.
His verses showcase a knack for clever wordplay. Lines like “In Paris riding the metro / I’ve been wavy from the get-go / I still compete and I get gold / That’s the 9 on me like Crespo” highlight his ability to blend cultural references with sharp storytelling. He paints pictures of grind and grit, but it’s always laced with a forward-thinking attitude.
The track’s production matches this energy, with a brooding instrumental that balances dark, rolling basslines with crisp percussion. It’s the kind of beat that demands attention, creating the perfect backdrop for 4t9’s powerful delivery. Meanwhile, the track’s structure keeps momentum high, with the hook acting as a grounding point that ties the themes together.
Adding to the track’s impact is its visually striking music video, directed by ODXC. The visuals mirror the song’s intensity, capturing 4t9’s commanding presence as he delivers each bar with conviction. The sleek visuals, combined with the track’s unrelenting energy, make “Freedom” feel like a real statement piece.
With this debut release, 4t9 shows he’s not here to follow trends – he’s here to create his own lane. His blend of raw authenticity, sharp lyricism, and motivational energy makes this debut impossible to overlook. If “Freedom” is just the starting point, there’s no telling how far 4t9’s ambition will take him.
