Freebody by Remsen

Toronto Music Archive

Remsen’s latest release titled “FREEBODY” is something new and fresh in the scene. Remsen’s style is refreshing in the sense that it brings elements of classic hip-hop and a newer generation of hip-hop. He is taking elements from popular sounds and morphing them all into his own. The instrumentals are consistent throughout with the powerful trumpets and drums covering the bass and Melody. The singer in the background of the track is either a sample of Remsen himself. That adds a little more spice to the mix and giving it a little bit more of that vintage sound. The flow is smooth and bouncy, the hook is catchy as well as powerful in lyrics and the message behind it. He states “coming from a city that defies to hate” and that couldn’t have been said any better. The track has a lot of moving parts, moments of high energy, and moments of lower built-up. This helps to build up and expend energy throughout the track to create an experience. “FREEBODY” is a great piece of work that showcases the progress of Remsen and what direction he is headed in. The quality and the artistry are getting better and better and “FREEBODY” is just the first step in the new direction.

Lyrics

I got a lot at stake,

So I gotta watch how I operate,

I come from a city that foster hate,

You gots to love it no blocking fate,

He talking like he got a lot to say,

No wasting time just watch the face,

I’m walking in with my associates,

I play for mine,

Just watch the game, OK

I’m in the back, enjoying my blessings,

I gotta laugh through all of the stressing,

I cannot deal with many suggestions,

Where they was at, through all of the lessons,

Shawty and rap, my only obsessions,

I’m on the map, she send a location,

Do not disturb in my studio session,

I’m going wild wild like west,

My brother like ty ty no tech,

My skully go sky high no less,

I’m letting my mind fly no jet,

I’m turning my ideas to a check,

Now I gotta run it up with the set,

I’m done with the monologue from the side,

I don’t even wanna talk that’s a bet,

These Niggas could along with the style,

She in the passenger nah I ain’t mad at her she fell in love with the drive,

Diamond from Africa somehow I manage to shine while staying alive,

Tired of waiting for times that never arrive I’m making it mine,

I tried the waiting in line,

Just me and my guys in the place,

Just look in my eyes MIA,

No It’s a smile on my face,

Like I was off the freebase,

I’m freebody, free base,

feed good the team straight,

Im finna take a flight to London to kick it EA,

Just me and my guys in the place,

Just look in my eyes MIA,

No It’s a smile on my face,

Like I was off the freebase,

I’m freebody, free base,

feed good the team straight,

Im finna take a flight to London to kick it EA,

Yeah, she hit Milan like she flew in from Italy,

I remember when these niggas would pity me,

Heard he was hating but turned to my mini-me,

Ion got enemies only amenities,

Out on the water it’s straight to hotel,

She ask me where is we going I won’t tell,

Only the flyest, she know me so well,

Never the type in my feelings on socials,

Flickup with demons and I never post em,

Pack in the mail so I’m going postal,

Hard in the paint put that boy on a poster,

Testing the boy I pull off tesarosa,

Burning the bread like a muhfucking toaster,

I heard the raps you niggas is so-so,

Tony Montana you niggas is sosa,

Cover my face in the photo,

My brudda velli inspired me that was back when I had no phone,

Now I make all of the calls with my niggas the hell is you telling me,

Story incredible went to the teller and said I need everything,

I had no pot to piss in,

told all my niggas just watch and listen,

I see they picking they sides and switching,

I made a way it was my decision,

Watching em close my timing different,

I’m on a roll and they vibe is switching,

They never make it in my position,

Yeah

Just me and my guys in the place,

Just look in my eyes MIA,

No It’s a smile on my face,

Like I was off the freebase,

I’m freebody, free base,

feed good the team straight,

Im finna take a flight to London to kick it EA,

Just me and my guys in the place,

Just look in my eyes MIA,

No It’s a smile on my face,

Like I was off the freebase,

I’m freebody, free base,

feed good the team straight,

Im finna take a flight to London to kick it EA
