Hailing from East London, Braceman brings new life to the art form.
Relatable, witty lyricism with impossibly tight delivery alongside some
of London’s best musicians; ‘Freewheelin’ IS Hip Hop but not as you know it.

THANKS

I guess my first thanks has to go to you, the people who’ve bought this album. You have my utmost and most sincere thanks!

Barak Schmool, Aviv Cohen & Tom Clarke
Honestly, I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to repay all the effort and labour (and patience) you put in to this project with me. This album is as much yours as it mine. All of your respective talents, acquired and honed over years, brought to bear on this album have made for something I am so immensely proud of! It is an honour to call you partners, even more so to have you as friends. For life.

Contributing Artists and Musicians
Barak Schmool, Aviv Cohen, Appolonie, Mysdiggi, Flo Moore, Ben Brown, Tal Janes, Rob Mullarkey, Rhythms of the City, Greg Sanders, Ben Rodney, Yelfris Valdes…What a collection! I’ve had the pleasure of seeing, pretty much, all of you perform your art in person, you are all amazing musicians whom I wish only the best for in your future endeavour. Thank you for your contributions, the album would not be the same without you.

Studio 3 Arts/Liza Vallance
The space you gave me - and many like me - to explore, experiment and develop as an artist was something priceless. I will forever be grateful. Long live Studio 3 Arts and you, Mafia!

S.W.A.T Team
Family isn’t always blood. We’ve come an awful long way, all the way into adulthood and parenthood. We’re not in the ends anymore and we lost one along the way but we remain So Way Ahead a Them. The next one has ALL of us on it! Rest in Power Kevin Mukendi aka Flex.

Family
Thank you for all your support. Thank you for your lessons and for your example. Thank you for your love. Special thanks Christina Taylor! Who’d have thought recording videos off of MTV base onto VHS and sneak listening to your CDs would lead to this. I love you sis. Rest in Power Edvin Johnson.

LH
My final thanks goes to the inspiration for the title track… Muito amor, minha querida.
Braceman
