Milan is set to welcome one of the most enigmatic and incendiary artists in the international underground hip-hop scene: Freddie Dredd will perform his first-ever concert in Italy on Thursday, June 19, 2025, at Santeria Toscana 31 — a one-night-only event that promises to be unforgettable.

Born in 1997 and hailing from Oshawa, Ontario (Canada), Freddie Dredd has become a cult figure in the phonk scene — a genre rooted in Southern U.S. hip-hop, reimagined with lo-fi sounds, eerie samples, and dark atmospheres. His signature style blends elements of ‘90s rap, horrorcore, trap, and electronic music, wrapped in a raw, DIY aesthetic that has earned him icon status among the genre’s more alternative fans.

A mysterious and prolific artist, Freddie has built a global fanbase through his explosive presence on platforms like SoundCloud, YouTube, and TikTok, where tracks like Cha Cha, GTG, and Opaul have gone viral, driven by hypnotic beats and an attitude reminiscent of Three 6 Mafia with a vaporwave twist. Beyond his solo work, he’s also an active member of the Sixset collective, helping to redefine the boundaries of independent rap.

2024 marked a landmark year for Dredd, culminating in the release of his latest album, Freddie’s Inferno II — a highly anticipated sequel that cements his talent for fusing dark, aggressive soundscapes with raw lyricism and an ever-evolving live energy. Dropped last fall, the album was met with critical and fan acclaim alike, featuring tracks that swing between introspection and sonic brutality, along with collaborations from cult producers and MCs from across the global scene.
