“Freelance represents a lifestyle that I feel is trending amongst our generation more and more. It’s a lifestyle that allows you the freedom to take what you’re passionate about and create a career truly loving what you do. It’s a movement of entrepreneurs leaving the normative social influence in order to create their own possibilities around being authentic, fulfilled and empowering. So when people listen to our music we hope that they are inspired to realign themselves with their hopes and dreams and say “Yes” to them, because that’s how this album was created.” – Smithsoneon


"There is no separating black music from the black struggle. Art reflects life, it's only inevitable that our music will reflect our social issues. Music is God’s universal language. It has the incredible power to reunite and empower the African diaspora. We are greatly inspired by our ancestors and elders to continue the call to action for justice, musical integrity, pursuing your dreams, unity, love, higher vibrations and consciousness...but we want to do it OUR way!" - Ausar The Ambassador

Your Love (Single)

Harlem-based collective Freelance bring their hybridized, free-form musical aesthetic to their highly-anticipated album, ‘Yes Today’ due out May 11th, 2018 via Revive Music. ‘Yes Today’ is a collection of songs that speak to the evolution of Freelance and their myriad influences, from Earth Wind and Fire to the Robert Glasper Experiment. The genre-defying collective lends their progressive sound to the tasks of speaking truth to power, pushing the envelope with sonically forward production and capturing the energy of their electric live shows on record. The album penned by founding leaders, Smithsoneon (vocals) and Ausar The Ambassador (keyboards) is an urgent call to action that also features band members Craig Hill (saxophone), Yasser Tejeda (guitar), Justin Tyson (drums), and David "Dj" Ginyard (bass). With Yes Today, the brotherhood of musicians challenge listeners to take risks, embrace their passions and live for today -- not tomorrow, but today.
