Sense Offence – Free Speech (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO) (Video)
“The New Zealand rapper “Sense Offence” strikes in the scene, with his clever “Free Speech”. As its title reveals; it’s a fierce reaction against the destructive system, against a world that wants us to be speechless, silent and unable to use our mind. Words of deep meaning by a real artist.”

This a bar-heavy rap written over a classic boom bap beat about the suppression of free speech (especially for artists) and the political polarization that is driving division and hate between people.
Sense Offence is a New Zealand hip-hop artist and genre fluid rapper.
His music covers topics such as mental health, drug addiction, relationship difficulties and suicide, tackling these heavy topics with a brutal realism about their realities balanced with a strong belief that recovery is possible and offering encouragement to anyone battling these demons to keep fighting.
He is an extremely versatile artist often incorporating elements from different genres and a highly technical rapper with a mastery of complex flow patterns, strong delivery, powerful story telling and intricate multi-syllabic rhyme schemes.
