ASHL3Y KING – FR33: My Personal Review
I recently had the chance to sit down with ASHL3Y KING for the Independent Artist Spotlight, and after hearing her heart, I knew she was bringing something special to the Christian Hip Hop scene. But once I pressed play on her latest single “FR33”—I realized this wasn’t just music—this was ministry.
From the jump, the beat on “FR33” caught my attention. It’s got this smooth, atmospheric vibe with just enough bounce to keep your head nodding. It’s laid-back but still hits hard, giving Ashl3y the perfect canvas to deliver a message that’s anything but soft. The production doesn’t overpower—it amplifies her words, letting the weight of her testimony shine through.
Right out the gate, Ashl3y sets the tone with:
“Jesus, wash my sins, feel the Holy Spirit, I’ve been born again.”
That opening line told me exactly where this track was headed—straight into a declaration of freedom through Christ.
What I really appreciate about Ashl3y is how authentic she is. During our interview, it was clear she’s not here to chase trends or fit into anyone’s box. And she confirms that in the song:
“I do this for real, not doing this for trends… you could test my spirit, I would never bend.”
That line hit different because you can feel that she’s been through something—and now, walking in her freedom, she’s bold enough to speak on it.
The beat stays steady and reflective as she flows about letting go of old habits and surrendering fully to God:
“Old habits, let ‘em go, I couldn’t take that pain no mo’, I rock Him now, road filled with that Holy Ghost.”
That’s the kind of lyric that speaks to anyone who’s ever battled with their past and found peace in Christ.
One of my favorite moments is when she talks about mindset transformation:
“Realized my old ways of thinking used to be trash.”
It’s raw, it’s honest, and it’s a reminder that true freedom starts in the mind—and Ashl3y isn’t afraid to be vulnerable about that journey.
Even as she acknowledges life’s ongoing struggles, there’s this steady confidence in God’s covering:
“Still go through some trials… God is pleased, my enemies, Father keep protecting me.”
It’s not a flex—it’s faith.
By the time “FR33” ended, I wasn’t just vibing to a dope beat—I was reflecting on my own walk. That’s what makes this track special. It’s more than catchy—it’s purposeful.
ASHL3Y KING is carving out her lane in CHH, bringing a sound that’s chill but filled with conviction. After connecting with her through the Spotlight and hearing “FR33”, I can confidently say she’s not just making noise—she’s making an impact.
If you haven’t checked out “FR33” yet, don’t sleep on it. This is the anthem for anyone who knows what it feels like to be bound—but even more, what it feels like to be set free.
