London rapper Fredo has a lot to say. So much so that the three-minute beat his producer originally sent him for the first song of his new album, Unfinished Business, didn’t cut it. Not even close. Finding himself with more and more to get off his chest, “I kept having to go back and tell him to extend it, over and over again,” he chuckles.
My Story, the final version of the song, ends up clocking in at a staggering nine-and-a-half minutes, and is an astonishing reintroduction from one of the UK rap scene’s brightest stars. “I’m sorry if you’re missing me,” he raps in its opening bars. “If you want to know why I’m missing, listen to me please.”
