by Fred Again.. returns with Victory Lap Three, now featuring Skepta, PlaqueBoyMax, Denzel Curry, and Indian hip-hop artist Hanumankind. The latest version now available on YouTube and making its way to streaming platforms, adds a new layer to one of Fred’s most talked-about releases of 2025. This third edition introduces fresh energy just days ahead of Fred’s first live shows of the year.
Hanumankind’s involvement was hinted at a few weeks ago, following the release of Victory Lap Two. His verse had quietly appeared at the end of that version, prompting fan speculation and Reddit threads trying to identify the new voice. The new version confirms his role outright. His entry begins with: “Paper in my pocket…” “I need that fuel inside my rocket…” “Blast out! Baby you can see me in the cockpit...” A sharp, confident delivery that fits seamlessly into the high-pressure rhythm Fred Again.. is known for.
From Victory Lap’s Livestream to Remix Series
The Victory Lap rollout has been anything but conventional. It all started when Fred Again.. debuted the original track during a livestream from New York alongside Skepta and PlaqueBoyMax. As the trio performed live on Twitch, Fred dropped the location for a secret rave in Brooklyn. Within hours, the streets outside the Paramount were gridlocked, fans sprinting, traffic blaring, the building nearly vibrating with anticipation.
The original, anchored by a powerful sample of Doechii and Rico Nasty’s “Swamp B*tches,” fused Fred’s cinematic production with Skepta’s direct grime flow and Max’s unruly presence. Even without promotion, the drop generated viral buzz, making it feel more like a street-level flashpoint than a typical digital release. Then came July 9, 2025. Enter Victory Lap Two, where Denzel Curry dropped in like a match to gasoline. His lines—“turnin’ heads like The Exorcist”, rode the beat and rearranged its spine. This version kept the bones of the original but burned hotter, thanks to Curry’s razor-cut cadence and emotional undercurrent. Fred teased the track via Twitch and Instagram, calling it an “organic” remix spurred on by fan demand.
But something else stirred at the tail end of that track. Now comes, Victory Lap Three, adding Hanumankind and completing Fred Again..’s track arc. His cross-continental presence has made waves beyond India’s hip-hop scene. His inclusion aligns perfectly with Fred’s tour plans for the second half of 2025.
Global Tour and Live Frenzy Awaits
Fred Again.. kicks off his 2025 live performances this July in Asia, beginning with back-to-back sold-out shows at Pasir Panjang Power Station in Singapore (July 18–19). From there, he travels to Bangkok on July 21, Seoul on July 23, and wraps the Asia leg at Fuji Rock Festival in Japan on July 25.
In September, he heads to Europe for a special five-date run in Italy with electronic duo PARISI. These will be his only European shows of the year, with performances scheduled in Milan, Verona, Naples, Rome, and Fasano. Fred plans to bring the full Victory Lap experience to each stop, incorporating unreleased edits, spontaneous remixes, and potentially new versions exclusive to the tour.
As his global tour begins, fans will witness Victory Lap evolve in real time. Whether it’s a fresh verse, a live-only edit, or an unexpected twist mid-set, Fred Again.. is turning this project into a live, ongoing series that is gaining momentum with every stage. It’s fun to imagine what could unfold if Hanumankind joined Fred Again.. on stage live.
