On the 9th of June Codewalkers are back with a new single. 'Nothing 4 Free' is about dysfunctional relationships, in this case a guy who is threatened by the partner of a female friend. He’s not interested in her, and he’s not interested in getting beaten up because of her. Based around a syncopated guitar hook and combining live drums and bass with electronic elements, the rapped verses explode into huge choruses, the band joined by the soulful vocals of Becky Winfield for the first time on record.

The track follows on from the success of their last releases ‘Preternatural’ and 'Santa is a Pimp', which as well as receiving airplay on BBC 6 Music and BBC Radio Wales, the former was made Tom Robinson’s BBC6 Music Mixtape Pick of the Week. ‘Nothing 4 Free’ is accompanied by a live video performance of the track, filmed at Theatr Soar, Merthyr.
