M.Y78 drops “Has To Be You Freestyle”, a visceral, uncomplicated track bathed in the readiness of a city rooftop night transmission. This freestyle, based on an already virally popular rhythm in social media, encapsulates the spirit of both a dynamo and a soul-searcher between its street-wisdom urgency and lull-riffic meditations.
The song focuses on cinematic, often colourful imagery rather than clear storytelling: flashes of loyalty, a fight to survive and protect, and a dogged determination not to be moved or replaced. M.Y78’s delivery flows over the beat like a true freestyle, choosing character above polish and giving us a glimpse of the vibe and energy in the room at that time. It's colloquial when it needs to be and confrontational when it means something.
That infectious energy is clear in the beat; it serves as a propellant and an empty canvas, lending space for tone shifts of voice inflection and cadence to become just as weighty. The cut feels urgent, like a creative spark, and not as if it was destined for the radio. Its genius is in its casualness, allowing for multiple listens to unpack new layers.
In conclusion, “Has To Be You Freestyle” introduces M.Y78 as an artist comfortable with imperfections and frank imagery. It's not slick in the traditional sense, but it is genuine, fun, and exactly the sort of thing to build up some word-of-mouth hype. But for audiences keeping track of artists turning viral brush fires into real feelings, this one is worth paying close attention to.
