Young, upcoming hip-hop prodigy vengeance!’s “Finally Free (Angelic Edition)” is so much more than an album—it’s a testament, a journey of resilience and triumph against the odds!

Just 19 years old, there is nothing the world hasn’t thrown at rap prodigy vengeance! But instead of weakening him, these challenges have, in a way, strengthened his resilience and fortitude, as he has used every painfully challenging experience as fuel to reach greater, unconquerable heights. This is the tale of a young man who has been disowned by his own family, survived a near-fatal drug overdose, been heartbroken over and over again, been incarcerated, and at once contemplated suicide but found his way back by deciding to step in a church and perhaps atone for his sins one last time—turns out, this was his one saving grace. Instead of looking at all these painful experiences with regret, anger, or remorse, vengeance! embraces this part of him that has clearly contributed to the young, decent gentleman he is turning out to be; one that is now focused on his art and dreams like never before, taking one day at a time and endeavoring to be better than he was yesterday.

Using this pain as his currency, “Finally Free: (Angelic Edition)” is so much more than just a hip-hop album—this is a testament, a journey of resilience and triumph. vengeance! does not just rap; he bleeds his heart out and bares his soul for the listener in the most vulnerable and raw way you could think of.

The track has 19 tracks, and he starts us off on a spiritual note with the contemplative jam “Psalm 25:14-18” capturing the essence of the Lord confiding in those who fear him, making his covenant known to them. As someone who previously did not believe, this jam holds a special meaning in vengeance!’s heart and details how he found Lord when he most needed him, and when he confided in him, he felt right at home. This is a heartfelt delivery that touches a listener on multiple fronts.

“Wake Up” has an underground vibe and is brimming with raw, heartfelt emotions of heartbreak. Featuring plummeting basslines, relentless percussion, and raw lyrics, both vengeance! and guest emcee Giuseppe leaves all the hurt and pain on that mic, finding solace that only music can provide!

“Almighty Zo” is the embodiment of raw emotion wrapped in a hypnotic, bass-heavy masterpiece. From the moment the beat drops, you’re immersed in an anthemic world with deep and atmospheric production, laced with haunting synths and 808s thumping like crazy. vengeance! delivers his signature bars with a commanding presence, his flow oozing confidence and dominance, backed by auto-tuned euphoria as he floats over the beat like a phantom in the night—mysterious, intoxicating, and impossible to ignore.

“Remedy” has a hypnotic beat that sticks in the mind and refuses to let go, and it is also unmistakably clean with a deep, introspective quality. “No Love For a Junkie (Interlude)” is melancholic, detailing vengeance!’s battles with addiction and how everyone evaded him like a plague, leaving him to his ruins. This track sees the artist adopt a laid-back, achingly poignant conversational tone over the darkly haunting soundscape.

Another dark art piece is “Relapsed,” a somber, haunting, and solemn track that details the relentlessly painful and trying journey of sobriety and relapsing all over again, captured in vengeance!’s own tone. As it flourishes, the song has a bit of a brighter tone and spark, reflecting this up-and-down journey of an addict fighting for his life to stay sober.

A track like “Switch Up / Geekin” has an intoxicating, emo-inspired vibe backed by heart-rending emotional release, and towards the end, you’ll love that beat switch as vengeance! keeps things a little more exciting for the person on the receiving end of this masterpiece.

There is so much to enjoy from “Finally Free: (Angelic Edition)” as vengeance! lays bare his soul with the hope that a listener facing a similar plight will find solace and feel less alone.

Also, this is as much his own remedy as it is for the listener because this is how he best expresses his emotions—putting pen to paper and rapping his soul out!
