Mali Jo$e Drops Captivating New EP SUNSEEKER

One of Australia’s most exciting young hip-hop artists, Mali Jo$e, is continuing his march towards the throne in 2022 after bursting on the scene back in 2019. Since then, he’s been going from strength to strength thanks to a series of impressive releases, including debut EP Hours b4 Sunrise (2021), that have seen him achieve a million streams on Spotify as an independent artist, and he has no plans of slowing down anytime soon. Keen to build on his momentum, he has just unveiled his sophomore EP, SUNSEEKER.
The project features the phenomenal “INTERVENTIONS” alongside Mick Jenkins, as well as the outstanding new single and EP title track “SUNSEEKER” alongside UK rapper Len. With its vibey production and Mali and Len’s smooth rap flows, it’s one of the EP’s highlights and captures just why Mali is a name to watch in the hip-hop scene and has a huge future ahead.
Speaking further on the new EP, Mali says, “Whatever light you follow in your life is the sun and the person you are is the seeker. I want the audience to live to my music and feel life as it is and how it could be, not how it shouldn’t be. This capsule of music reflects the journey. There’s no point anymore in saying things to stroke your ego just because you indulge in the genre of hip-hop. Bin asking myself a lot recently what am I saying, how am I saying it and is it even worth saying? I displayed that energy in track three, ‘tranquility’, and track five, ‘STOP BARKING’. This project is a stepping stone.”
The SUNSEEKER EP is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://gyro.to/SUNSEEKER.

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

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.
