Really excited for this one. Pre ordered and got my pre order on Merch as well. Since he's said it will be his final album, hoping it can be his best!

Love it. The track is well put together, Missy's feature is still growing on me but I think it can rise a bit further naturally and maybe with a TikTok boost as well.

Still waiting for this to grow on me tbh. It just sounds a bit too reserved for Digga. But nonetheless I'm happy it delivered his 7th Top 20. Looking forward to possibly Grey Tracky with Ivorian Doll coming out (if they get the sample cleared) and his debut album which is supposed to come this summer.

Potter Payper's Training Day 3 going Silver means a lot, that project touched me. Delighted for him. :)

Meanwhile I'm still waiting on the Central Cee x Dave collab ugh. Guess he is taking bridging the American gap serious.

I've listened to it a couple of times now and it's starting to grow on me. Overall I'm really interested to see what ArrDee does and goes with his sound now, one fairly successful mixtape down and what not.

This has grown on me, but it's still missing something in my opinion. Hopefully the next "single" will be better.

Slightly late to this but alas another great project again from Simz. Broken is one of my favourite UK rap songs of all time. The lyricism, production, harmonies just do wonders for my ear. The production from Inflo throughout the album was again brilliant. My other two favourite tracks are Silhouette and Angel. It breaks my heart that this didn't have anywhere near the same chart success as SIMBI, as it in my view is almost just as good.

"Who's babysitting tonight then?" :rolleyes:

"This was a massive hit on Tik Tok" :rolleyes:

What a shame that About Damn Time didn't win best international song.

Becky Hill thanking Polydor 2 sentences after giving credit to RAYE :lol: bless her though.

I guess Aitch is more deserving than Stormzy or Dave for the past year in the genre so I'm not mad.

I really wish some UK hip-hop/rap artists in particular would release exclusive extra music off the back of a decent hit single. But again I'm realistic about this being about supply and demand sadly. Physical consumption is not as high a trait in my favourite genre of music also. It's why I do make a thing of buying physical albums now that singles are gone.

Better than Let Go but not a patch on Mrs. I find it interesting and baffling he still has not dropped the collab with Fredo or Dave that he has in the bank. I'm sure Ybeez (Central Cee's manager) knows the importance of having a big hit like that before he drops his debut album later this year so why are they persisting with singles like this... beggars belief.

S Club Party and Reach were staples in my early childhood. Fingers crossed the former can achieve platinum one day!

Strandz's "Us Against the World" has been appearing quite a lot on my TikTok feed. I also read that Digga D could possibly be joining on a remix of that soon. Not a massive fan of the track generally and I don't think Digga would sound good on it anyway.

Aitch would work well with them I think! Same, it does appear they are giving this a good go. I genuinely think the project will sound great.

Buzzing to hear their lead single off this first album. I wonder if there will be any high profile features on the album too.

Another hit for Fredo, who hinted on his Instagram story recently that his upcoming album this year will be called "Tables Turns 2" which would be a sequel to his number 5 charting 2018 mixtape "Tables Turn".

Nines and Knucks certifications! :D All of Nines' 3 albums are now certified Gold.

Slightly late to this, but of all of them, I would agree Stormzy and FLO's remix of Hide & Seek was the best. I've been critical of Stormzy's overall third album sound and direction, but Hide & Seek is a wonderful track. One of his best ever actually. FLO fit in naturally to the melody and overall vibe so I was delighted to hear they would be collabing on this one. Look forward to more from them in 2023. Would love R&B to get a big UK revival this year.

"I pray when the fame and charting is over, I ain't gonna end back on Martin's sofa" That lyric really paints a picture of what life really was like for Headie and I imagine resonates with many other drill rappers in the scene. Really hope this single can get high into the chart.

Very late to this, but alas I predict: Nines to have his final top 3 album Fredo to have another top 5 album N Dubz to have a top 3 album Raye to have a top 3 album Headie One having a top 5 album Central Cee having number 1 single and number 1 debut album with it selling circa 60k first week. Chip to have another top 20 album/mixtape Russ Millions to have his debut mixtape achieve top 20 status Clavish to have another top 10 single J Hus to have a number 1 album Krept and Konan to have another top 20 album/mixtape Flo to have a top 20 single PinkPantheress to have a top 10 single Knucks to have a top 40 single Little Simz to have a top 40 single

Great track from Headie, this sound had a bit of a buzz on TikTok too.
