Otega brings in Freescool for a new record called “Craving,” and this collaboration introduces a fresh dynamic to what has already been a busy 2026 for him.
Freescool isn’t the most obvious name on a mainstream radar yet, but that’s exactly what makes this pairing interesting. Otega has always had a good ear for finding artists who complement his energy without trying to match his established fanbase, and this link-up follows that same instinct.
“Craving” sits in that middle space between want and restraint, the feeling of being drawn toward something or someone you can’t fully shake. It’s emotional territory Otega knows well. Songs like “Memories,” “Pictures,” and “Yori Yori” have already shown he can carry that kind of weight naturally, and “Craving” adds another dimension to that same thread running through his recent work.
Freescool holds his own throughout, bringing an energy that feels complementary rather than contrasting. Neither artist overshadows the other, which is the mark of a collab that was thought through rather than thrown together quickly.
What stands out most is how consistent Otega has been across completely different moods this year. From the reflective sadness of “Pictures” to the playfulness of “Sit On My Face” to the laid-back haze of “Indica” and now the emotional pull of “Craving,” he keeps showing range without losing his identity in the process.
Stream “Craving” and see where it lands for you.
