FLY ABOVE IT is the first single from the upcoming REINCARNATED EP.

The music video was shot in New York city serving as an homage to L-FRESH's love and gratitude for Hip Hop. It was directed and edited by Joseph Parmanand.

The song captures L-FRESH at his most uplifting—staying true to his brand—as he reflects on his journey. He speaks candidly about personal and professional challenges, finding strength in remembering who he is and what he has overcome. With themes of optimism and resilience, the track is inspired by his family and their unwavering belief in him.

Self-produced and mixed, this single marks the beginning of the next chapter in L-FRESH’s storied career. He debuted tracks from the EP at the Aussie BBQ for Summerstage in New York, representing Australia in the 50 Years of Hip Hop celebrations, before performing them on his headline tour of Canada.

FLY ABOVE IT is the first of a series of consistent releases from the five-track EP. The catalyst for REINCARNATED was a series of personal losses, including the passing of his grandfather and close friend and collaborator, Michael McGlynn. “Creatively, I wanted to refresh everything,” L-FRESH reflects. “I wanted to return with a renewed focus and mindset. Reincarnation, for me, meant saying goodbye to the past and accepting whatever is meant to come next.”

VERSE 1:

Loyalty’s held in high regard but very few keep it

I hold it close to my chest like a best kept secret

Trust lost in the wind and hope is in the ether

Disappointment can be your very best teacher

Yeah, what you know about it? I seen dreams shattered

Been battered, visions once clear became clouded

With no role models to tell me how to go about it

I’m my own biggest believer but also my biggest doubter

Speeding through lanes in the middle of the day

With tears streaming down my face and affirmations shouted

To drown out all the fear I let inside

I close my eyes, yeah, let my faith be the loudest

Redirected my focus, roads rerouted

Uh, I’m way past ten thousand hours

The man in the reflection is the one I’m most proud of

Many times I could have quit but I never stayed down ‘cause

CHORUS:

I can see the peak, I’m reaching for the summit

Ain’t hit my potential yet but I can feel it coming

Everything they said I couldn’t do, man I done it

There’s a fire in my belly, yeah it’s in my stomach

Only way I know how to be is to keep it honest

It’s family first, I wouldn’t trade them in for dollars

Their belief in me is the wings I need to succeed

So when I reach the peak I know I’ma fly above it

Yeah, I’ma fly above it

I’ma fly above it

Yeah, yeah

Yeah said I’ma fly above it

VERSE 2:

Yeah, said I’ma fly above it

It ain’t work if you love it

Yeah, if sky’s the limit I’ma touch it

Grew up seeing my parents give more than a hundred

They was undervalued and underappreciated

But despite the odds stacked against them they went and made it

Now their son is underrated, history repeated

You can underestimate me but my resolve is undefeated

No loyalty when money is involved

I done seen a lot of friendly shoulders turn cold

Yeah, a lot of stories untold

I write them down and maybe one day I’ll let the letters unfold

You could be strongest but if surrounded by hyenas

Nightmares will become reality for the dreamer 

Patience is hard for those who never had to wait

Turning your back on a lion is your biggest mistake

CHORUS:

I can see the peak, I’m reaching for the summit

Ain’t hit my potential yet but I can feel it coming

Everything they said I couldn’t do, man I done it

There’s a fire in my belly, yeah it’s in my stomach

Only way I know how to be is to keep it honest

It’s family first, I wouldn’t trade them in for dollars

Their belief in me is the wings I need to succeed

So when I reach the peak I know I’ma fly above it

Yeah I’ma fly above it

Said I’ma fly above it

Yeah, check it

Yeah, said I’ma fly above it

Yeah I’ma fly above it
