Shaun White and Big Ven - otherwise known as Fr3e - have teamed up with North London rapper Young Spray for their incredible new single 'Round Here'.
Following on the from the huge success of their previous singles 'Tribal Skank', 'I Got My Beads On' and 'Let Me Go', 'Round Here' is an anthemic tribute to the day-to-day lives of those living in any inner city urban environment across the world.
Musically, 'Round Here' is a rich blend of melancholic keys, infectious melodies and poignant vocals - all delivered without at any time sounding pretentious or contrived - meaning anyone and everyone can relate to it's message. The black and white video is a simple yet visually powerful reflection of London City, oozing slick production and portraying a subtle honesty in each and every frame.
The single is co-produced by Shaun White, who also wrote and sang the single’s hook. Shaun is currently working on a solo EP release, affirming the fact that FR3E have the ability to shine as individual artists in their own right, in synchronicity with their work as a collective duo.
When writing, Fr3e clearly try to create the unexpected, and have their sights firmly set on making music which can't be defined or restricted by one singular genre. “The UK funky, grime and hip-hop scenes have been great platforms for us, but we’re aiming for more than that," says Big Ven. "Yeah, we like Lil Wayne, Jay Z and Outkast, we loved Michael Jackson, but Kings of Leon are great. Popular music is in a good place now and that’s where we want our sound to take us.”
And if 'Round Here' is anything to go by, their sound is set to take them very far indeed.
