"Feel Free" is the second single by the British rapper Kano from his second studio album London Town, after "This Is the Girl". The song features Blur and Gorillaz member Damon Albarn. The single reached #12 on the UK R&B singles chart but failed to reach the UK Top 75 Chart.

Music video

The music video is black and white. It is set in the past, in three places: the streets of London, in a London cab and in a church with a children's choir. (The choir is from Kano's old school, where his mother still teaches.) In the cab, the video shows the London Eye. At one point in the cab, the lyrics interpolate the hook from Nas' song "Made You Look"; where Nas says, "They shootin'! Aw made you look / You a slave to a page in my rhyme book", Kano changes to, "But I like to see them shut the McD's / Cuz, they shootin'! Nah made you look / You a slave to a page in the cheque book".

Kano performed the song at Electric Proms at London's Jazz Café on 27 October and appeaed on the BBC 2 new music show Sounds and on T4 in Channel 4.[1]
