Uzi Freyja turns up the heat with “Medusa”

Uzi Freyja doesn’t make music, exactly; she conjures spells. And her new single, “Medusa,” has something loud, raw, and unrelenting. The emerging Cameroonian rapper collaborates with the French synth wave/EBM producer Carbon Killer for a sonorous jab that lands like a riot and lingers like a myth.

Blending electro-punk aggression and industrial rap grit, “Medusa” is full-force sonic g force above party rap. Think Arca’s glitchy unease, the political venom of Moor Mother, with a sprinkle of Doja Cat‘s flamboyant bite, all funneled through Uzi‘s electric voice. Her verses cut through Carbon Killer’s dystopian beats like a razor, demanding your attention with every bar. Music for the margins, stage, and underground, and it bites.

The track is a ritual and a rebellion. “Medusa” crams in a high-voltage blend of searing synths, mechanical drums, and Uzi‘s mumble-rap-inducing cadence at a hair’s breadth under four minutes. It’s confrontational. It’s magnetic. It doesn’t seek your attention but insists upon it. And lyrics that channel the fury and power of the mythical gorgon herself: Uzi flips the script on becoming a victim in the classic sense, turning the monster into the muse.

If ever this track was going to make a comeback, it’s now. With the thrilling news that Uzi Freyja will play every date of Noga Erez’s forthcoming European tour, “Medusa” is set to be heard by more ears than ever and rattle more stages. This is more than a song, and it’s an anthem for all who feel too loud, too different, too much. And in a world where that fire is much too frequently made to flicker, Uzi Freyja is here to fan the flames.

Raw, defiant, and singularly modern, “Medusa” is evidence that Uzi Freyja is not merely next when it comes to the future of rap; she is actively helping to build it from the ground up. Prepare to feel it in your bones.

Kalpee Honors Heritage and Heart on His Emotion-Rich New EP Dougla Boi

Kalpee is back with Dougla Boi, a beautiful new EP that is both personal and powerful. It gives listeners a close look at the layers of identity, heritage, and emotion that make him who he is. The Trinidad and Tobago artist is confident in his own space, which is rooted in New Calypso and polished with hints of dancehall, R&B, and afrobeats. In this space, genre bends, but emotion leads.

Named after the Trinidadian word for someone of mixed African and Indian heritage, Dougla Boi is honest, proud, and warm about the complexities of culture. Kalpee opens a window into the dualities that define him across six tracks, turning personal truth into universal resonance. The EP is just under 19 minutes long, but every second is carefully planned to take listeners on a journey through courage, joy, healing, and the quiet strength that comes from accepting all parts of yourself.

The first single, “Under,” stands out right away for its calming yet emotionally charged experience. Kalpee’s voice flows over a beat that sounds both new and old, fitting the EP’s theme of bringing cultures together. It’s one of the best examples of how he can mix soft and hard sounds, which is what makes his New Calypso sound so unique.

“Everybody,” which features Full Blown, is another excellent song that has already done very well. It has a happy vibe and an infectious bounce, making it one of the EP’s most replayable songs. “Everybody” captures the spirit of community and shared experience, which is what Kalpee means when he says that identity is not a box but a rhythm.
