L-FRESH The LION Teases New Album With Latest Track 'Mother Tongue'

Aussie hip hop artist L-FRESH The LION has announced his long-awaited third album will drop next month, along with the release of a brand new song. 

SOUTH WEST is set for release on 17 July, while fans of the rapper can check out his new song, Mother Tongue, now. 

“Mother Tongue was written about my story with my native language, my mother tongue," FRESH said.

"As a kid, English wasn't the first language I spoke. It was Punjabi. My experiences of being born within two, sometimes competing, cultures meant I lost touch with my language. I lost my fluency because I was conditioned to think my language wasn’t cool.

"Mother Tongue explores my regret in letting my language go, and how I'm working now to relearn it so I can keep close to my roots."

SOUTH WEST is FRESH's first album since 2016's ARIA-nominated effort, Become.
