The chorus, with its infectious refrain of “Pretty girls from the south wow,” is an instant anthem, destined to be shouted from car windows and blasted at block parties all summer long. It’s a celebration of femininity in all its forms, from the natural beauties who radiate confidence without makeup to the glamorous divas who know how to work a room with just a smile.
But “PGFTS” isn’t just about surface-level beauty; it’s also a tribute to the strength and resilience of Southern women. SlickBoy Nae’s verses are peppered with nods to the grit and determination that define these women, from the way they handle adversity with grace to the way they hold their own in a world that often tries to silence them.
Overall, “PGFTS” is a love letter to the South and all the women who call it home. With its infectious beats, catchy hooks, and undeniable swagger, it’s the perfect soundtrack for those hot summer nights when the air is thick with anticipation and anything is possible. So pour yourself a glass of sweet tea, kick back, and press play below:
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.
