Almere, The Netherlands – October 2025 – Dutch producer Halgurd (Allgood) is back with a powerful new collaboration alongside artist Kanimayo, delivering the standout single Freedom — a track that flawlessly blends old-school Hip-Hop, Lo-Fi, and Chill vibes. More than just a song, Freedom has quickly established itself as the kind of music that fits every setting: perfect for driving, running, working out, relaxing, or simply sparking fresh inspiration.
The synergy between Halgurd’s lush, detailed production and Kanimayo’s artistic presence makes Freedom a unique record that resonates across genres. It’s a track that uplifts, energizes, and inspires, while remaining grounded in the raw soul of Hip-Hop.
Building on the momentum of this release, Halgurd is preparing for his most ambitious project yet: the collaborative concept album Menu du Jour with rapper Ridicuul, dropping October 10, 2025 under the ChilledPunks label.
Inspired by the iconic Parisian restaurant Le Train Bleu, Menu du Jour is a playful yet carefully crafted body of work. The album artwork by Job Kind features Allgood as a waiter and Ridicuul as Mr. Bean, continuing the conceptual humor. Designed as a menu of music, the album presents eight tracks divided into “Main Menu” (lead tracks) and “Desserts” (instrumentals). With songs like Joie De Vivre, French Toast, French Kiss, and Jour Nonchalant, the project highlights Halgurd’s gift for creating immersive atmospheres while pushing Hip-Hop into fresh creative spaces.
