Ryan Mitchel Chassels, better known as Freddie Dredd, is a Canadian rapper and producer who was born in Oshawa, Ontario, on September 19, 1997. His hometown is Durham, Ontario.
Many of his songs are produced by himself, under the name “Ryan C.” Best known for blending gritty, lo-fi sounds, vintage samples, and intense—often dark—lyrics which often is similar to the style of $UICIDEBOY$, this genre would be considered to be labeled as Phonk, a subgenre of trap in which many of the sounds used in his tracks are reminiscent of the Memphis hip-hop mixtapes from the mid to late 90’s.
Despite this, Freddie’s style, albeit distinct, began gaining popularity at the beginning of 2019 as some of his songs became popular viral successes on the short-form mobile video platform, TikTok. Waltdisneysbum is the name of his official TikTok account.
Along with his solo work, Freddie frequently teams up with other underground hip-hop artists including Slim Guerilla, Baker, and RAMIREZ. Also, he participates actively with SIXSET and Doomshop Records.
Freddie’s Inferno, his most recent album, was released on August 11, 2022.
