about

Azadi Records is proud to present ‘Anti-Freestyle’, the latest single by Tienas. Following the release of his critically acclaimed EP ‘For Sale?’, 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.

lyrics

Hook

Don't got no time, get off my line,
lemme remind, yuh yuh,
I wanna shine, cover your eyes, else you'll get Blind, yuh yuh,
Riding the wave, and I see sines, inside my mind, yuh yuh,
Looking for something that I'll never find but never mind, yuh yuh,

Verse

Don't ever play with my dough yo, I gotta motive and it's loco,
If you focus on my motif, I gotta big spirit like totoro,
Born and grew up in a dojo, all of my kicks punch to the floor yo,
And if you ever come to my show, don't dance,
Bitch you better hold still like a photo,
I'm on a rampage, every damn page is a transcript you know,
Ima savage when I fuckin flow, you ain't even half it, motherfucker's so…
Average with bad bitch depressed in their head and they rap about suicide doors,
We don't speak the same language don’t have the same idols you need to grow,
Do you know what I feel son, I'm the Ill one like kim Jung, dim sum, then some,
You might have thousands of fake fans but I'm happy with my ten's of real ones,
Cause they know, that I'm never gonna back down, yuh,
Till I'm selling out shows in glasgow, yuh,
Ain’t gonna put the fuckin glass down,
I know where I wanna gonna you can put the Map Down, yuh
Don't turn around and ask now, yuh,
Don't take another fuckin step now yuh
Spitting pesticides we kill all the rats,
The whole team coming for the damn crown, yuh,

Hook

Don't got no time, get off my line,
lemme remind, yuh yuh,
I wanna shine, cover your eyes, else you'll get Blind, yuh yuh,
Riding the wave, and I see sines, inside my mind, yuh yuh,
Looking for something that I'll never find but never mind, yuh yuh.
