Earlier this year, Yaniza released her third studio album, “New Day.” The project was met with a ton of acclaim. Yaniza is now back with a new jam, “Paris.” The Acoustic Pop artist switches it up a bit with a more somber, yet soothing sound.

“Paris” is a Folk/Singer-Songwriter record. The song is based on the world’s oldest topic: life. “Paris” delves into the unpredictability of life and about embracing that unpredictability. In the first verse, Yaniza touches on the titular situation. “The first verse is about how my friend and I were planning to go to Paris for spring break, and it got cancelled a week before we were supposed to leave.” Yaniza continues, “that week turned out to be the start of the quarantine in 2020.” The rest of the single details various instances in Yaniza’s life where life’s unforeseeability was exemplified. Yaniza stated: “After the first verse, I wrote the rest of the song thinking about situations where I thought one thing was going to happen, then ‘life had other plans,’ and something different ended up happening. I like to think of the unpredictability of life as full of surprises!”

Although the uncertainty can be daunting, “Paris” does a great way of capturing that feeling, but also provides a hopeful and beautiful, almost angelic, tone. The track was produced by Harper James of the group, Eighty Ninety. Harper James also played a role in the writing of “Paris,” alongside fellow artist, Will Shish. “Paris” is a song that can be listened to at any time and anywhere. So, press play on “Paris” and let Yaniza take you away.

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.
