Since the start of 2023, every creative music artist and business owner has been applying straight pressure! To see the growth and unity among many talents across the DMV is such a beautiful feeling. Today introduce you to ItsFreeLife , who has been making tons of noise and is not stopping until he gets what he deserves. I had the chance to catch up ItsFreeLife and talk about his musical endeavors and his recent project, “ItsFreeLife: A True Story”.
