Pa Salieu has released two new freestyles, ‘Epiphany’ and ‘Crash’.
The Gambian-born, Coventry-raised rapper explores themes of oppression, resilience, and self-discovery in the tracks.
He says: “While I was in jail, I realised how fortunate I was to always have my thoughts for company. My mind was my escape, and I fell in love with the pen and paper and that’s when I had an epiphany—I have a voice, a platform, and something meaningful to say.
“Growing up in a Pan-Africanist family, I was raised with a strong sense of history, and I know the power of words. Reading Tupac’s, The Rose That Grew from Concrete inspired me, especially the way he expressed himself through poetry. I love philosophy, history, culture, and I love humanity. Epiphany and Crash are raw reflections of that, taken directly from my jail notes.”
The freestyles follow Pa Salieu’s recent single ‘Belly’ and his collaboration with Arsenal on ‘Allergy’, which features on the EA FC 2025 soundtrack.
