Known for his sharp social critique, Atlanta-based rapper and producer freespottie is proud to unveil his latest unfiltered single, “Clocks,” just in time for the introspective energy of autumn. The lead single from his upcoming album ‘Center Page Reflections‘, due out December 4 via EveryDejaVu Records, “Clocks” wraps a soulful, catchy hook in moody, lo-fi production as he laments societal pressure, the relentless grip of technology, and the importance of true self-ownership.
Originally from the East Coast, freespottie’s distinctive sound was shaped between upstate New Jersey and NYC, where he’d become immersed in a melting pot of cultures. He draws on inspiration from artists such as Curren$y, Quadron, and Boom Clap Bachelors, and Quincy Jones, collaborating on projects with like-minded artists and releasing solo efforts like 4 Loko and his 2021 project trifecta: WutDuzDisEvnMeen, Pleroma, and Burnt Out. He’s received acclaim for recent releases such as “Deja,” the international collaboration “Freespace” with SpaceCave, and the heartfelt “Fantasy” on outlets such as Roundhouse Music and DopeHipHop.
With a humanitarian disdain for fame and fortune, he’s earned a reputation as a subversive, vulnerable artist unafraid to grapple with the big picture. A lyrical exploration of self-perception and time as a personal manifesto, “Clocks” serves as a statement of rebellion, artfully rejecting society’s dystopian standards while imploring listeners to reflect on what it means to find freedom amid the cacophony of the modern world.
