Free Nationals Unveil “Gangsta” Single ft. Anderson .Paak and A$AP Rocky

Free Nationals have released their first new music since 2020 with “Gangsta” featuring Anderson .Paak and A$AP Rocky. Infused with the funky retro-soul that brought the four-piece to prominence as Anderson .Paak’s live band, “Gangsta” showcases warm yet ominous grooves.

The accompanying video, directed by François Rousselet (known for work with Jack White, Pharrell, Snoop Dogg, The Rolling Stones), portrays the band, .Paak, and Rocky as children navigating a court case in a society governed by kids. The video was Produced by DIVISION with Post-Production by MONUMENTAL & SQUARE VFX and was executive produced by Jules de Chateleux.

To complement the release, they’ve introduced the Gangsta Kid AI generator, allowing users to transform their current photos into “kid gangsta” versions. Try the app here.

In anticipation of more music in 2024, the Free Nationals are set to return to Freeform’s Grown-ish for a follow-up episode following their 2023 appearance. Additionally, the group will grace the stage with Anderson .Paak at the New Orleans Jazz Festival in late April, followed by select Free Nationals shows featuring Gary Clark Jr.

All streaming for “Gangsta” ft. Anderson .Paak and ASAP Rocky can be enjoyed HERE.
