Capo Lee links with Young Franco on, 'FREE ROLE', a football anthem built around freedom, expression, and the kind of fearless energy that defines the best players on the planet right now.
The timing couldn’t be more natural. Capo Lee has long bridged the worlds of UK underground music and football culture, from his Chelsea FC collaboration featuring N’Golo Kanté, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Callum Hudson-Odoi, to campaigns with Adidas and a Red Bull endorsement that called him “one of the finest young spitters in grime.” ‘FREE ROLE’ is the record those worlds have been building toward.
Speaking on the track, Capo Lee said: “World Cup summers are their own thing. The whole country tunes in, the energy shifts and everyone’s got a team. I wanted to make a track that captured that feeling.”

Capo continues, “‘FREE ROLE’ is about freedom – doing what you want on the pitch, expressing yourself and playing without fear. It’s that Messi energy. The best players in the world aren’t overthinking it, they’re just playing their game. Young Franco’s been on an incredible run, and when we linked up the sound clicked straight away. We got in the studio and the record came together naturally.”
A staple voice across UK garage, grime, bass and house, Capo arrives here off the back of his strongest run yet: 70M+ streams worldwide, two tracks in Sammy Virji’s BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix, a Radio 1 C List addition, and his most recent feature on multi-platinum drum & bass duo Sigma’s 2026 release Back 2 Life. His name has become synonymous with crossover moments done right.
Young Franco, Queensland Music Award winner and producer of the A-League anthem, brings a sound that moves across borders the same way football does. Together they’ve made something that captures what this summer is actually about: no fear, no system, just play. That Messi energy. The visuals take cue from Nike’s iconic 360 The Cage, electric, completely free.
