UAE-based Somali artist Freek charts the highs and lows of his career on his latest single

UAE trap star Freek is bringing his own summer heat to the trap world with his latest single ‘Mia Mia.’

With a heavy Middle Eastern attitude thanks to the backing track and vocals that slip easily between English and Arabic, it’s a sure-fire summer slam.

The track thrillingly sums up Freek’s career to date, taking in the “highs and lows of my journey and where I was raised and the environment that shaped the person I am today” says Freek.

Unsurprisingly, the track has been picked up for a collaboration with Sneaker District in Abu Dhabi.

After being approached by Sneaker District, Freek and his team came up with the story and scenes before shooting the video in Abu Dhabi. Freek then put on a pair of Nike sneakers and shot the amazing video to ‘Mia Mia.’

And it’s not just Sneaker District who fell in love with the track, as the music was used in a recent ‘Fire In The Booth’ episode with hip hop kingpin Charlie Sloth.
