After a quiet 2021 that saw him lock himself in the studio, the Bowraville baller is showing us the fruits of his labour in 2022…

And naturally, he’s taking no prisoners with his first release of the year, the surprise drop ‘5 FT FREESTYLE’ hitting you hard and fast with rhythmic precision and braggadocios lyrics.

The new tune sees Tasman experiment a bit on the energy front, the laid back beat striking a nice contrast with the high-energy bars as the ‘CONFIDENT’ rapper introduces you to his new alter-ego.

The accompanying visuals see Tasman rep his stomping grounds of Bowraville, the ‘ONE’ rapper performing the new tune in the various landmarks of the rural abode with the charisma and magnetism that’s won him so much acclaim so early on.

Speaking on the new single, Tasman explains “5FT FREESTYLE is a healthy ego, but an ego nonetheless. Not only is it my moment to throw the line and test the waters but it is also an introduction to my direct, strong, and abrasive personality in the form of a beaten-up character who is rough around the edges, cheeky, and slightly playful.

“This character is a part of a duality of personas which is built from my personal experiences, past, and current. It is an entirely new direction in my artistry which I am excited to reveal in due time.”

Along with the new single comes news of upcoming shows, with Keith announcing the dates of his upcoming COLOUR LIVE tour. From the Lansdowne Hotel in Sydney/Eora to Northcote Social Club in Melbourne/Naarm and an appearance at Blacktivism at Sidney Myer Music Bowl, it seems none of us on the East Coast will be safe from his slick bars and delivery.

Definitely a worthy way to start 2022. Be sure to buy/stream Tasman Keith’s new single ‘5 FT FREESTYLE’ here and cop tickets to his upcoming Aussie shows here.
