Black Fuchsia Make A Huge Impression With New EP Continue

Published

on

In an exhilarating collision of talent, rapper DiLLY and DJ/Producer Monk converge once again to unleash the sonic force that is Black Fuchsia. Following the debut track “fauna” and the stellar EP Cotton in 2021, the dynamic duo from Knoxville, Tennessee, are back and ready to captivate the world with their new EP, Continue.

Black Fuchsia’s musical tapestry weaves a delicate yet powerful balance between the soft and hard edges of hip-hop, presenting a compelling exploration of rap’s diverse dimensions. Their sound, a fusion of dynamic flows, thought-provoking lyrics and confident deliveries, allows them to stand out in the crowd. The duo sidestep conventional beats, opting instead for a harmonious blend of deep-hitting drums and creative melodies that seamlessly meld into each other, crafting mixes that are both distinctive and meticulously polished.

Rooted in the unmistakable influence of New York, Black Fuchsia pay homage to iconic pioneers such as Cannibal Ox, Wu-Tang and The Alchemist. This infusion of heavy New York vibes stands as a testament to the duo’s dedication to honouring the genre’s rich roots.

The new EP, Continue, is a testament to Black Fuchsia’s commitment to the authentic fusion of traditional hip-hop elements with a contemporary twist. More than just music, their narrative is a reflective journey through street culture, innovation and the pulsating evolution of a dynamic genre. Continue includes the previously released single “Stay” and will resonate with fans of 38 Spesh, The God Fahim, Bruiser Wolf, The Alchemist and Fat Ray.

Speaking about the new EP, Black Fuchsia say, “While we never approached the project with any attempt to make something cohesive as a whole, the similarities between what were essentially all singles began to become increasingly more intentional. Continue highlights our comfort as a team, the inertia possible when we fully flesh out music together much like the acts we mirror. There’s a certain texture that’s vintage to rap, and when you hear it, we want you to think of us – really, just trying to lead the race.”

Continue is available to buy/stream now on all platforms. For a deeper dive into Black Fuchsia’s sonic universe, the project’s deluxe edition with the bonus track “Equatics” can be found exclusively on Bandcamp from December 1st.

Rapper 4t9 Sets The Tone For His Career With Powerful Debut Single “Freedom”

Published

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.
