'Independence Day is coming soon' tweeted Fredo alongside a searing freestyle that will heat up the months to come in anticipation of Freddy's next release.

He's not lying when he says he goes hard on this one, the rapper packs a mean punch on the track covering every aspect of the street lifestyle/upperclass living he combines in his music and way of life. Fresh off a million pound deal with Kick Game, Fredo is well on his way to becoming an industry mogul with his hand in many businesses.

Having released his second studio album this year 'Money Can't Buy Happiness', Fredo's bars blend lavish luxury with gritty gang tales and demonstrates the rapper's eagerness to highlight that money isn't everything. Now that he has more than he knows what to do with it, he can see that there are more important things in life to focus on.

As with all of his latest releases, the production on this freestyle is expertly crafted ensuring that Fredo's words are easily understood and float above it with ease. Haunting soundscapes sown into hard hitting 808s is a recipe for success when talking about watches, women and other worldly pleasures. Classic Fredo.

For people curious about The Sarz Academy, how would you describe it? The Sarz Academy is a creative hub for talented people and the way of letting people—becoming creatives, producers, artistes alike—have a chance at making decent music. Basically, what I’m doing is creating the things that I needed during my time, but I did not have. Because there are certain things that I would have doubled down on, certain things I would have invested in, if I had the knowledge. Because of creative people like me, I created the Academy to help guide them. Do creatives apply to The Sarz Academy or do they have to be scouted? They apply. If you get chosen, you go through a course of training, from music to the music business. As a private person, what would you say you like to do when you’re not producing or in the studio? Like what do you do outside of music? I like to call my friend Abby (also a member of his team) to go to the cinema to see a movie together. Movies are a big part of our frien
