WE WANT ANU GROOVE!


Up and Coming artist, ANU has a new single out! This Brooklyn raised songstress is leading the charge of individuality in black music. ANU is a singer and songwriter from NYC; whose words and choice of music to accompany her are impeccable. Her music is R&B, yet has an island vibe as well. “I’m Coming Out” is her latest release of three others this year. I’d also recommend checking out her songs, “Abyss” and my personal favorite, “As We Dance“.
When asked to describe her inspiration behind her new song, she had this to say….
“I’m Coming Out” was inspired by the message and title of its namesake song by my idol and iconic muse Diana Ross. Her song “I’m Coming Out” impacted me because of its message and I wanted to have the same influence. I wanted to create a song that reflected my personal story of feeling like I wasn’t allowed to shine and be authentically me by my family and the relationships I had been in at the time. At the same time making it known this is no longer a state of being I’m choosing to maintain, “I’m Coming Out”, like it or not.“
“The audience I hope to impact is anyone who’s ever felt not seen, not heard, and not allowed to shine because of other people’s limited beliefs and fears. It’s an anthem of self-acceptance, self-love, and empowerment. Putting people on notice, you can either accept me for who I am or move along.”
“I wrote the lyrics, originally to a melody that reminded me of one of CeCe Peniston’s songs. As part of my writing process, I will often go and look for beats that match what’s in my head. I was perusing beats and found this amazing beat by producer Omar Zulfi. The rest is history. The final mix was produced by Dolla Beatknocka Griffin from Beatknocka Studios in Brooklyn, NYC.“

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.
