‘Anti Freestyle’ – Tienas, Zero Chill

Following the release of his critically acclaimed EP ‘For Sale?’, Tienas released ‘Anti Freestyle’. The Mumbai-based musician has entered 2021 with a singular focus – to reclaim his rightful place at the top of the hip-hop game and lay waste to the many, many pretenders that have presented themselves as false idols to the wider population. With two albums under his belt – 2019’s expansive ‘O’ and its subversive, introspective follow-up ‘Season Pass’ – Tienas’ anger has resulted in a creative evolution that is surgical in its execution and absolute in its conviction. His previous single, titled Brian O’Conner’, was an early preview of the frenetic energy that will dominate the multi-faceted artist’s sonic aesthetic over the next few months. Aided by Zero Chill, one of India’s finest upcoming producers, ‘Anti-Freestyle’ is further evidence of Tienas’ mastery of the art of rapping – juxtaposing venomous punchlines with an innovative approach to wordplay and flow.
