About the Song
FreeLance Free’s latest effort titled “Catch Up” is an ode to hard work and ambition. The song encourages all to put in the work necessary to achieve one’s goals but also to continually keep aiming higher every day. The song also addresses the need for humility in the midst of success; as no matter your level of achievement, there is always someone higher or something missing. “Catch Up” is the hustlers anthem for 2021.
“Catch Up” is produced by London, mix and mastered by the Loud Room Studios and GemstarPro. Visuals were shot by PJZ film and edited by Starpower Studio. The song is dedicated to the memory of Dokta Frabz, who worked closely with Freelance during his career and was the producer of “Eyen Ima” which featured MC Galaxy and Iceberg Slim.
