We all went into 2020 with high hopes, only to find out the new decade was bringing in many challenges. As a result, we’ve all had to grind harder, change our approach, and find a way to reach the goals we set out for ourselves.
However, it takes a great team to win. ‘On Gang’ is LA SABREE‘s ode to the squad, to everybody hustling with their day ones, doing whatever it takes to get up out the mud and into the limelight – with the hope that the struggle and hard work will pay off.
‘On Gang’ is available on all major streaming platforms. Check out the banger below…
South Wales native L E M F R E C K continues to carry the torch for his hometown, by delivering his single ‘U Gd?’
‘U Gd?’ finds the rapper treading a percussion-led backbeat uplifted by an overarching guitar riff. He sets the tone for the track ahead, then proceeds to inflect the steady instrumental with his slightly accented bars that he delivers with great confidence and caution.
Reflecting the lyrical inspiration behind the track; which complies a number of references from a turbulent romance to the daily grind, the music video for single shows L E M F R E C K roaming the streets at night, getting up to no good.
Growing up, he was heavily inspired by the exciting buzz and growth of UK urban scene. After the realisation of the vast under-representation of his country within the genre he decided to take matters into his own hand. Fuelled by the disparity he began to build on the musical foundations built while producing in a local church, where his father was the pastor.
Eager to explore and experience the scene first hand, the rapper remembers frequenting cities like Bristol and London to soak up the Pirate Radio culture. Now a fully formed producer, the artist takes on a new skill… the art of wordplay. Watch out for the L E M F R E C K, he has a lot more to deliver this year….
