Upcoming Producer LF3 Uncovers Phenomenal Project The Flower Ceremony
Hip-hop producer LF3 has unveiled his stunning debut album, The Flower Ceremony. Having made his start in music as an audio engineer, the rising Florida native has since developed a love for producing and has cultivated a signature approach to music that takes inspiration from hip-hop to jazz and gospel and is built around a simple chord structure, vocal sampling, intricate double kick patterns and a heavy low-end presence.
With The Flower Ceremony, LF3 proves his world-class talent as a producer and musician. Featuring 11 dynamic and versatile productions, including standout track “Glory”, the project marks the birth of a star with a bright future ahead. Speaking further on the new release, LF3 says, “The Flower Ceremony at its root is a symbol of mental strength for me. The Flower Ceremony that I learned about when creating the album involved a wedding couple placing their roses in a vase. After that, everyone in attendance will be given a rose to add to the arrangement as a sign of their support.
“For my Flower Ceremony, my vase was only big enough for my flowers, because in creating The Flower Ceremony, I learned I was the only support I needed and instead of me receiving roses, it was time for me to present them.”
The Flower Ceremony is available to buy/stream now on all platforms.
Keep up to date with the latest from LF3:
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.
