SaRap Fresh Makes Impressive Return With New Hit “Lean On Me”
SaRap Fresh, the Florida-based artist known for creating a unique and stylish world through his rhymes, has just unveiled his latest musical masterpiece. Titled “Lean On Me”, this brand-new single, featuring Gauxstman (a prominent Charlotte artist on the rise who frequently collaborates with Premo Rice) and produced by Jake Johnson, is a captivating addition to SaRap Fresh’s expanding musical catalogue.
With a deep-rooted love for the art of hip-hop, SaRap Fresh’s passion for lyrics and melody is unmistakable. As an ’80s baby who discovered the hip-hop genre in the mid-’90s, he has been hooked ever since. His music resonates with those who appreciate authentic, heartfelt storytelling.
“Lean On Me” is a song that speaks to the resilience and inner strength needed to endure challenging times. SaRap Fresh states, “The spirit of the song is standing tall during tough times in the belief of your own greatness in hopes to inspire others.”
The creation of “Lean On Me” is a testament to SaRap Fresh’s dedication to his craft and the message he aims to convey. He shares, “I wrote ‘Lean On Me’ in the spring of 2020 during the height of Covid-19 when things were very uncertain. I would sit in my jeep every day for one hour and write to different beats. This time helped me hone my craft and inspired the first lyrics of my verse, ‘Lockdown it’s lockdown like sock door / Don’t come round.’”
The creative journey behind “Lean On Me” is as inspiring as the song itself. SaRap Fresh’s passion led him to reach out to Gauxstman for a feature. Gauxstman accepted the invitation, delivering an unforgettable verse that elevated the song.
SaRap Fresh’s perseverance, coupled with the talents of Gauxstman and the production skills of Jake Johnson, has resulted in a musical gem that took three years to come to fruition. “Lean On Me” is a testament to the power of artistry and collaboration, creating a sonic experience that is sure to captivate listeners and inspire them to stand tall in the face of adversity.

Aaron makes music about meaningful topics that rocks and grooves – and sometimes it even skanks on a rock steady beat!
His new song ‘Geeks’ has been released on all major music platforms on November 15th. It is an anthem for the heroes of the digital age: computer nerds, also known as geeks. It is driven by an off-beat ska guitar, a sticky bass line and a groovy brass section. The icing on the cake is a jazzy saxophone solo.
“I have always loved Ska, I even saw the Specials, the Selecter and Madness live in their heydays”, says Aaron. “I chose the topic although I am not a geek myself, but I have a lot of sympathy for them. Geeks are often frowned upon because they can be socially awkward, but they are the ones who are building a better world. So I think they deserve an anthem.”
The music video is mostly made up of typography, minimalistic ASCII graphics and heavily pixelated images – it surely looks geeky! Watch it here:
Aaron writes catchy songs that are made for people who like meaningful, uplifting topics and guitar-driven, hand-made sounds. His musical journey started young but it wasn’t until he discovered Bitcoin and became so invested in it that he used music to express his new found joy.
“It’s mostly rock music, with excursions into funk, soul and other styles I grew up with. In general, it’s guitar-driven and hand-made, often with a punkish energy and beatlesque harmonies. What all my songs have in common are meaningful lyrics about being in the here and now, about transforming disturbing emotions into wisdom, about being in the flow, things like that.” says Aaron in an interview.
“I have always been making music and writing songs, starting with a punk rock band when I was 15. However, I never saw it as a career. I played in several bands in my teenage years and my early twenties, but after my media studies in Berlin and Rio de Janeiro I focused on other things. I first worked in TV production and then founded one of the first Internet agencies in Germany. I discovered Bitcoin in 2011 and became fascinated by it. I wrote five books about it, made lots of promotional videos and educational series for Bitcoin and blockchain companies, and organised events. I even wrote some songs about Bitcoin, which became quite popular in the community, like my Reggaeton about the Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador. People always liked that my songs are catchy and provocative. It was by the end of 2023 that I decided to go full in on music. It’s what I enjoy the most, so now I want to fully follow my passion.”
Since May 2024, his songs have been streamed more than 250,000 times on Spotify and his music videos have been viewed more than 350,000 times on YouTube.
