Talented Artist Jedbrii Releases “Play”
Jedbrii is a singer/rapper from Canberra, Australia. One of the most versatile artists out there, he started off making hip-hop but now dabbles in everything from funk, trap, drill and D&B to neo-soul, R&B and pop. The rising artist has brought together some of these styles on “Play” (feat. Johniepee). With Jedbrii’s smooth singing vocals fused with his impressive rap flow, the track has immense appeal and puts the spotlight on an artist with a huge future ahead.
Since arriving on the scene in 2018, Jedbrii has released a series of singles that have garnered attention, and “Play” will no doubt continue his growing momentum. Speaking further on the new single, Jedbrii says, “‘Play’ represents that feeling of undying love in which everything else just pales in comparison. The type of love that gives you tunnel vision but only because the connection was so strong that you can’t imagine anything else.
“I was in the midst of great heartache and loss over my ex, when I happened to stumble across a beat that just caused an immediate stream of what I was feeling into a song. I then got the Western Australian heavyweight Johniepee to do a verse, and it came together perfectly.”
“Play” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/jedbrii/play-feat-johniepee.

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.
