Ana Kiri Unloads New Song in Support of the Ukraine
Thanksgiving weekend is a time for family and pondering our roots. Ana Kiri returns with the perfect song for the occasion. “Beat of Freedom” is a vulnerable, inspirational song by Ukrainian born and raised, Ana Kiri. The single has an epic sound reminiscent of “Hall of Fame” by The Script, which utilizes Pop, Rock, and Soul to drive its impactful nature, and preach hope and peace. The song itself is an Easter egg to its overall message – its length is 3 minutes and 33 seconds long. “333” is an angel number and stands for the Holy Trinity, symbolizing hope.
Although Ana Kiri is now based in Miami, she will forever be a proud Ukrainian. With the upheaval and war going on in the Ukraine, Ana Kiri felt it necessary to release a track dedicated to showing the world what it means to be Ukrainian, and the relentless spirit and fight Ukrainians have. The war has brought much destruction, devastation, and pain. But, “Beat of Freedom” is less so a sad song, but a song that accentuates the strength in us all and provides listeners with the message to never give up.
“Beat of Freedom” is a powerful and uplifting patriotic music piece about the struggles of the Ukraine. “Freedom or death – that is the core spirit of every Ukrainian.” Ana Kiri continues: “It was true for us in the Orange Revolution. It was true for us during the Maidan Revolution, and it is the same for us today. We know who we are, and we have an absolute right to exist. The heartbeat of Ukrainians is the ‘beat of freedom.’ Without freedom, our hearts will just stop. Freedom is our truth. It is our spirit, and who we are. We are Cossacks!”
The anthem was penned by Ana Kiri with some assistance from Jack R. Hardman. Ana Kiri also threw on her producer hat and co-produced “Beat of Freedom” alongside gifted producers Jaki Nelson and Luke Villemur. The lyric video was created by the ultra-talented Claudia Sobradillo. At the direction of Ana Kiri, the lyric video is more than just that. Ana Kiri used Ukrainian vyshyvanka embroidery, which is the nation’s code. Ana Kiri states: “Ukrainians believe that the embroidered shirt is a talisman against all the evil that can happen in human life. Each vyshyvanka symbol represents a different message, but each vyshyvanka encodes happiness, destiny, life, and will in the ornament.”
“Beat of Freedom” is a change of pace from Ana Kiri’s traditionally more poppy, electronic style of music, but it is just as masterful as her typical discography. The record is one that resonates with all listeners and puts a righteous feeling in everyone’s pit of their stomach. Press play and feel free to belt out “Beat of Freedom” anywhere and everywhere.

Kingdom Kome drops new videos for Arepa Y Manteca LP
Miami, FL Lyricist & Veteran MC Kingdom Kome goes to Colombia to fill his sweet tooth in a new double video and single(s) drop for “Mantecon” and “Arepa Mantecon.” The video (was filmed by Franco Imagemaker and Edited by David Sakolsky of Gusto Gold Productions)was shot on location in Medellin, which is also the home turf of producer The Equation Beats.
This is the first drop from the forthcoming full-length collaboration between the two entitled Arepa Y Manteca. Named for a traditional Colombian delicacy, according to Argentinian born Kingdom Kome “we decided to keep the project real paisa, which means countryman. This includes most of the album collaborators Colombian Raw, AjaxLo & CTraffik.”
Other album guests will include Che Uno, Sunez Allah and ParaNoize and the result is ominous instrumentals and grimy beats clashing with disrespectful lyrics in two languages.
Watch the official video for “Mantecon/Arepa Mantecon” here:
The genesis of this album grew out of a track that The Equation Beats produced for the duo project of Kingdom Kome & Che Uno known as Los Chicos Criollos featuring Crimeapple.

Based on the strength of that song, Kingdom Kome and The Equation Beats kept it moving and lo and behold Arepa Y Manteca is on the way! In addition to the recent full-length drop D10S Sucio of Los Chicos Criollos, Kingdom Kome is also promoting Dirty Linens, a fully collaborative project with Brockton, MA’s G Fam Black.
