AntsLive ends the year strong with ‘CBA Freestyle’

AntsLive closes out 2025 with a sharp reminder of why his name continues to ring across the UK underground. The North London rapper returns with ‘CBA Freestyle’, a quick-fire release that feels both effortless and intentional - a final statement before turning the page on an already impressive year.

Over the past 12 months, AntsLive has steadily carved out his own lane, pairing slick wordplay with a distinctive sound and visual identity that’s resonated deeply within the scene. From standout singles like ‘Billie Holiday’ to the high-energy ‘12 Car Convoy’, the end of 2025 has been defined by consistency, confidence and an ability to balance charisma with craft.

Produced by APG Go Krazy, the beat provides a stripped-back but dynamic foundation, allowing Ants to glide through his bars with ease. The accompanying visual adds another layer to the release. Shot by Samuel Yaw Adjaye (Swrv), the video captures Ants performing from the back of a moving truck through a South American favela. Raw, gritty and unfiltered, the setting mirrors the freestyle’s energy and reinforces the grounded authenticity that’s become a hallmark of his work.

As an end-of-year drop, ‘CBA Freestyle’ feels like a confident sign-off and if this release is anything to go by, 2026 is set to be another big chapter for one of the UK’s most exciting rising voices.
