Kwan Lee Brings Mixtape Energy Back With “It’s Free” Freestyle

Have you ever dealt with someone who wasn't worth the trouble? Someone who believes they deserve more than they actually do? August was a successful month for KwanLeeTV. Following the excitement of his birthday, he released a much-anticipated freestyle titled Its Free. The track is inspired by his experiences in the trap and the stereotypes and unrealistic expectations that arise from it. Listening to the track, we definitely get an old-school summer vibe, reminiscent of Fabolous' Summertime Shootout, with a catchy hook, punchlines, and his signature bravado at the beginning and end. The song also gives off Pusha T vibes with its controlled delivery and confidence, not overwhelming the instrumental, making it feel deliberate. Lastly, he channels Lloyd Banks by delivering a concept that his audience wants to hear.

Ultimately, It’s Free showcases Kwan Lee's ability to rap authentically, focusing on personality, punchlines, and skill rather than current trends. Influences from Fabolous, Pusha T, and Lloyd Banks are evident, yet Kwan Lee maintains his unique identity.

With its old-school summer energy, controlled delivery and unapologetic confidence, It’s Free feels like a reminder that the art of the freestyle still has a place in hip-hop. Kwan Lee takes his experiences, observations and frustrations and turns them into a record that feels familiar without sounding forced. If August was any indication of the momentum surrounding KwanLeeTV, It’s Free may be less of a victory lap and more of a preview of what Kwan Lee has coming next.
