ALL FREEK-ED OUT OVER THIS NEW VIDEO #WALAKILMA

Dubai based Somali Artist Mustafa Ismail better known as "Freek" always knew what he wanted to do with the track "Wala Kilma", he told Re-Volt ".. I wanted to do remix for the track right after I finished recording - even before I release it- not sure why, but it was my instinct". He was always looking ahead. 

The Wala Kilma track gained lots of attraction when it dropped and eventually was posted on one of the biggest platforms for urban music in the UK "LinkUpTV". 

Last Year, Freek met and shot a video for British rapper "EYEZ"  and that's how the discussion began. "I had Eyez's verse since January." said Freek. 



Soon after that he bumped into British rapper Young Tribez in Dubai and they automatically formed a great bond and Freek asked if he also would like to jump on the track and it was a DIRECT GO-AHEAD. 

RE-VOLT managed to get a quote from Young Tribez on this beautiful experience " Easily the most fun feature I've done to date, from when we first chopped it up right until we finished the 3 Day video shoot. Not getting to hear each other's verses until the song was finished was nerve racking but exciting at the same time. Speaking to freek about the song from when I saw the original on YouTube, I could see he puts time and effort into his craft. I didn't understand what he was saying at the time but he was flowing sick and the beat was just fire!!! So him asking me to be on the remix was a pleasure. 
Living in the UAE for the last year I can see the music scene here vastly growing, and brother freek is making sure the scene is represented in a unique way I'm just glad to be a part of it!!!

Re-Volt Managed also to get a quote from EYEZ "Working with FREEK was an honour!! He is levels ahead of most people I have collaborated with and brings such a refreshing organic style! It's also sick that drill and rap is all over the world and FREEK is the best example of this.. I think freeks style with the wavy flows in Arabic is special and the way he has made a big introduction to the UK scene! Everyone is talking about him" British Rapper EYEZ told RE-VOLT 

I personally am so proud of this young man, I believe FREEK has an authenticity about him that will elevate him to lead the music scene in the UAE. His passion is beyond admirable and I truly believe in his talent. Words can't express how much this moment to me and to us living in the UAE. I feel Freek's music will surpass borders and when he gets on those international big stages, we will all hear the words " Wala Kilma.." being chanted by the crowd. 

The video was uploaded last night on "LinkUp TV" , watch it below, comment, share and show love...

Dubai Based Rapper Freek latest single "Wala Kilma" gaining attraction


Somali Dubai based rapper FREEK released his latest single entitled "Wala Kilma" end of March. The track which he has previously performed LIVE around couple of events in Dubai gained attraction quickly. 





The video was then reposted by LINKUP TV in the UK, one of the biggest platforms and the comments started coming giving attention to one of the artists that are truly making huge moves at the moment. 


Last but not least, FREEK just released a teaser of the remix he is planning to release with shout out from Radio Host "Charlie Sloth" whose show on BBC One Extra featured plenty of superstars. The remix of "Wala Kilma' will have two British MC's and also other guests that are not yet announced. 

This is about to really BLOW UP. This is huge on many levels and we truly happy for FREEK for gaining that much well deserved attention. He's one of the very few rappers in Dubai that actually performs in Arabic and he always comes from an authentic place with his hardcore lyrics and beats. 
Lets Go Freek

New Trap Music Video By Somali Rapper Freek | Wadha

Freek

Soaking in a tub filled with Laban
(Yoghurt) and humoring a crawling snake, Dubai-based Somali rapper Freek comes back with an original trap music video that tackles things in its rawest form. It is simple. It is utterly "WADHA"

Video directed by the incredible Omar Tartoob and the song was produced by the genius "RAYAN"

He's one of the very few "trap" artists I truly appreciate/enjoy listening to, only because I know he reps his reality whether that's positive or negative. 

I love the word-play he uses and visually its just DOPE! 

Enjoy this!
