Today Naarm/Melbourne's formidable punk/hip-hop hybrid MUDRAT BREAK FREE is a genre-bending mission statement for the album. The track kicks off with thrashing riffs and thumping vocals before shifting into half-time grooves that showcase MUDRAT's veteran MC skills. Serving as a thesis for the entire project, the song challenges listeners with a single question: are you ready to break free? The single is a testament to the full evolution of the MUDRAT project. After starting as a solo artist, MUDRAT cemented his sound by forming a cohesive band, THE MISCHIEF, featuring long-time collaborator Emile Battour (Ocean Grove) on drums, Noah Sole on bass, and Javier Langham (Dancing Water) on guitar. This synthesis has allowed the project to break free from the traditional artist/beat-maker dynamic, with MUDRAT effortlessly shifting between a charismatic punk frontman and a top-tier MC.
