Now I'm finding out it's the same person. I had also been listening to Ryan C. before I found Freddie Dredd.

    tik tok has always been something i really hated but it's exposure on instagram was what got me into freddie dredd. at first i thought that his music was pure doodoo as i kept hearin' the same damn, "damn son, these bitches want some" part which got annoying. honestly though, a quick google search and a link to his soundcloud changed my mind and i was soon to become a big fan of him and doomshop records. freddie is that one of the big influences and reasons in why i make beats and upload phonk music to soundcloud as it truly intrigued me with his gritty textured tracks and his underground roots. i'm thankful for the tik tok trend as it introduced me into a new wave of music that would then inspire my own productions. also yokai, keep up the work as it is always a pleasure to watch these documentaries and listen to the phonk you got to offer.

    I think Freddie is a good representation of a new era of rap fans that are diehard connoisseurs of the genre and aren't afraid to throw their hat in the ring even if its different from the mainstream norm. And like, I get a lot of ppl probably were surprised by his appearance (i first heard his music pitched down heavily and literally thought it was Pat lmao) but upon hearing his stuff unedited i was like Oh yeah this is a seasoned interent dude with eclectic tastes and honestly its just really cool to see someone like this be up
