Bomfunk MC's: Freestyler

Bomfunk MC's song Freestyler has stood the test of time surprisingly well. At the beginning of the millennium, it was a massive hit, reaching top positions on European and Australian radio charts while also performing well in the U. S. Set in a Helsinki subway station and train, the music video remains iconic, with its eerie orange color scheme and the main character-a young boy with dreadlocks-still vividly remembered by many.

This song and its video marked the beginning of a new era, where the lifestyle of b-boys and flygirls, representing an energetic and dynamic hip-hop dance style, merged with the modern digital technology of the early 2000s, including the portable MD player. Watching the video a quarter of a century later, it still feels as fresh and entertaining as it did when it first premiered in 2000.

This song is one of the best ever created. The video holds up really really well even to this day! The special effects feel really fun rather than dated. An absolute bop.
