The post HAZEY Drops Impressive ‘Packs and Potions’ Remix ft. M1llionz, Digga D & Unknown T appeared first on FUXWITHIT.

When the beat first comes in, it sounds like a tailor-made Arrdee beat. Moments later you hear the horns play their melody which instantly makes you think of Aitch. The intertwined styles make this the perfect beat for both artists to do their thing over, in their own special way. As the beat drops straight into the first chorus, Arrdee’s first bar already has you feeling like it’s going to be a hit. The two go back and forth on the chorus as if they were always a duo, bouncing off each other seamlessly.

The verses however are where both artists really shine. Arrdee delivers a syncopated flow, with rhymes landing in places you don’t expect them. Shutting down haters who say ‘luck got him in the booth,’ he shows why he’s a regular Top 10 Artist. The moment Aitch’s verse starts, already it’s clear he’s here to steal the show. “Arms too long when I lift these reps, hard to moan when you live this blessed,” is just one of the bars that has you screwfacing. He really makes it his own with naughty lyrics and a touch of class that many artists simply don’t have. It just feels right when he raps. A truly brilliant collaboration, which hopefully is just the first of more from this duo.

Within the last four months, Arrdee has catapulted his success into the stratosphere. After his ‘Cheeky Bars’ freestyle, the hype grew stronger and just at the right time. Tion Wayne and Russ Millions recently dropped their newest collaboration ‘Body’ which fans knew was always going to have a remix filled with artists. Once again; cue Arrdee. His cheeky, slapstick lyrics of a proper English geezer, caught the hearts of the nation. Even Mia Khalifa and H3H3 Productions were caught singing “Have you seen the state of her body, if I beat it I ain’t wearing a Jonny!” – it’s been unworldly. At just 18 years of age, Arrdee is one of the hottest artists in the U.K. scene out of nowhere, all by being his cheeky self and letting it shine through in his lyrics. He’s the rapper of the moment, so here’s just three must listens to get you started.

6am In Brighton

Unashamedly repping his hometown in the best way possible. A freestyle to make his mark on the industry. “I’m just a seaside boy who sat in his ding dong rappin” and that’s exactly what this freestyle embodies. This is me. This is what I do. I’m here to stay. Arrdee’s wordplay throughout the tune has you smiling and that’s not easy to do. Fantastic track.

Plugged In

If this video doesn’t show you how much fun Arrdee is having with it, then you’ve not been watching. He’s not here to talk about a life he doesn’t live in criminal gangs, he’s here to rap about his cheeky, party lifestyle. A refreshing change some may say. “They can’t mold me into what they want, I ain’t playdo, I ain’t plastic, I ain’t gangster, this ain’t gang biz.” A freestyle that many can relate to and the numbers show.

Oliver Twist

One of the top comments on this track is, “I love the way he raps but I love his personality more,” and that pretty much sums up this breakthrough act. Hitting 1.3 million views on day 1, his latest single ‘Oliver Twist’ is more of the free-spirited character that, within just a few months, fans feel they know and love. A cracking beat with more fun lyrics makes this track a great follow-up release after the recent success of ‘Body’.

Like some other U.K. drill artists, OFB have been subject to having their music taken down from YouTube by request of the metropolitan police. The group’s current most active members are Bandokay and Double Lz, have been holding the name down and become the faces of OFB – but for Bandokay, YouTube removals are just a scratch of the effect the police have had on his life. Real name, Kemani Duggen, Bandokay is the son of Mark Duggan, who’s death by Police shooting led to the 2011 England Riots. A huge piece of history in the U.K. that leaves Bandokay wanting to pursue his music with OFB to an even greater degree to avoid an alternate life… and he’s done exactly that. OFB are reaching new heights with a huge following of fans that show up anywhere they go. Their ruthless, aggressive vocal flows of differing styles make their tracks rounded and full of punchlines, catchy lyrics and crowd chants. With a wide range of talent forming under the OFB name and regularly jumping in tracks together, the sky really is the limit for the Tottenham group. Here’s just three tracks to get you started…

As a member of one of the bigger U.K. drill gangs, ‘OFB – Original Farm Boys,’ Abra was seen on tracks alongside fellow members Headie One and Bando Kay from the get-go, but his ruthless solo freestyles that dropped in his debut year were what really grabbed people’s attention. Hailed as a classic now, Abra’s ‘Blackbox Freestyle’ was an early look into what the star had to offer, showcasing his unique style of lyricism and effortlessly scathing voice over the early versions of what would become ‘Robbery’. The second part of the ‘Blackbox Freestyle’ is where Abra really showcases how vast his lyrical talent is when he skates and glides over 2Pac’s ‘Letter 2 My Unborn’ instrumental.

At just 18, he was already proving that he could do so much more than sound aggressive on a drill beat. Whether it was Abs’ awareness of the volatility experienced in being a famous rapper, which he touches upon in his ‘Mad About Bars’ freestyle, stating “My question is, when the buzz decides to leave will they remember me?” or whether it was over different personal reasons, Abra was never ten toes deep in the music over the coming years… until 2020. In the past year, Abs has been on a streak of dropping hits, working with Charlie Sloth, Bugzy Malone, Gunna and more. Alongside the release of his debut album, he’s become an established feature artist, with everyone wanting what he brings to the table. Having worked on his craft for years, his style of silky smooth, deep tuneful vocals with gritty dark bouncy rap flows, fit the current U.K. market like a glove. Ab is back and he means business. Here’s just three of his huge recent hits.

Dumb Flex

Get It

Hopefully, this is the beginning of Abra Cadabra really shining. He has all the talent and makings of a superstar, the backing from top peers and now a debut album that’s rocked the airwaves. 2021 is destined to be a great year for the Tottenham artist, one that we can all hope is filled with more bangers.

Having grown up on his dad’s hip hop records from the age of 8, Central Cee’s vision has always been about setting a new tone with his music and he certainly has done that in the last year. When the pandemic hit in March last year, Central Cee began uploading freestyles in his car to his Instagram, touching on the struggles people were facing, including the U.K.’s National Health Service. Taking his skills in writing relatable lyrics to the new emerging melodic style of U.K. drill was the next step… and it really paid off. Two huge singles dropped in the months following in 2020, both racking up 8 million streams on Spotify alike. Building off his freestyles, new fans and raw talent, Central Cee has been on a spree of dropping hits since the end of last year and now has 2021 right in the palm of his hands. Here’s just a few of the tracks he’s dropped so far which are too hot to handle.

Day In The Life

No girls twerking. No expensive cars. Just Central Cee and his squad living a day in their lives, telling their story. Whether it’s the realness that you feel when watching the video or the catchy, bouncy flow that Central Cee is quickly making his own, this song will resonate with you somehow. This was only the first step for Central Cee into the limelight.

Loading

With one of the top comments on the video being “the happiest drill beat I’ve heard so far,” it’s clear that the Central Cee effect is working. Relatable lyrics on more melodic beats is definitely what’s in right now and this track is exactly that and more. A huge bop, with a swing based drill beat? What a combination.

Commitment Issues

Doing what he does best, this track tells a very honest story of something many can relate to. Central Cee relives what it feels like to love, but still find it difficult, told from the heart in a way that only he knows. That’s what makes Central Cee so likable and what makes these tracks stand out from the crowd. Taking U.K. drill and making it his own.

With ‘Commitment Issues’ dropping this past week as the latest in a long line of big hit singles for Cee, it would be no surprise to see a small EP or project on the horizon. However, right now with hits such as ‘Pinging (6 Figures)’ and ‘Loading’ still circling the radio waves & gaining a lot of attention to his name, we may see a few more bangers drop to solidify Cee first. Fine by us. Let’s see what Central Cee can really do in 2021.

Unknown P (who may or may not have beef with Unknown T) is not only laugh out loud funny, but also one of the best lyricists to drop a Daily Duppy from GRM Daily in 2020. Punchlines come quick to most comedians but to execute it in such a relevant way to the current U.K. drill scene, playing with the latest gossip as always, takes quite the skill. So much skill, that Atlantic Records recently signed Munya’s Unknown P character to the label, with a debut single released at the end of 2020. After a tough year for all, Munya brings light to the madness and a laugh to the music. Here’s just three of his must-see videos to get you started.

Daily Duppy

Arguably one of the best of 2020. The ultimate stage for a comic to deliver his punchlines, whilst they appear visually for the audience to see. Munya certainly took the opportunity to make it his own and show how good a lyricist he really is with lines like “the steaks are high cause I’m in the shard eating fillets” (playing on ‘The Shard’ Monument in London). Every line has a backstory and with each watch you catch another gem.

Ain’t It Different (Sketch)

As with many of the parodies Unknown P has created – the Headie One, AJ Tracey and Stormzy collab comes with originality and lyrics that you may even prefer to the original. To parody a Number 2 single and pull it off to such a degree is quite the achievement. Who else could say “Never been on quidditch pitches, but I’m always chasing snitches?” – Nobody.

Now 27 years old, Tion started his career around 10 years ago where he made a name for himself on YouTube with some early videos. 4 years later, the beginning of what would be a trio of EP’s began, Wayne’s World. As Tion’s fan base began to grow steadily, he found himself supporting heavy hitters like Rick Ross in 2016. Tion proves that it’s not about how quick you get there, but instead the talent needed to get to the top. In 2019, after nearly a decade of perseverance, Tion had his first entrance into the U.K. Singles Charts with NSG’s ‘Options’. Since then, it’s been an onslaught of top tier material including Track Of The Year at the GRM Awards with ‘I Dunno’.

His signature ‘Mmm-Mmm’ adlibs, his boppy flow techniques and his ability to write the catchiest of top lines, are all what make Tion a star in this new generation of rap music in the U.K. A truly exciting artist to be watching on their journey. Here’s just three tracks that will leave you wanting to check out his whole discography…

London

If you’re into your U.K. Drill then this really is a must listen. As the wave of this particular style of sound is changing to a more downtempo, rhythmic version of the raw U.K. rap we’ve grown to adore – Tion and M24 slide in with a smooth but deadly tune. This track really does prove that with Tion’s tone and flow structures, he can sound great on anything – arguably stealing the show yet again.

Come Over

Switching it up, a new age garage tune produced by Rudimental is arguably one of the most played pop songs in the U.K. in recent months. The feel good beat and fantastic vocal by Anne-Marie are joined by a smooth, effortless flow from our man Mr. T Wayne. Love it or hate it, it’s a solid track and one where Tion hold’s his own with some top name stars. Perhaps the start of many commercial features to come.

Deluded

The most recent EP, T Wayne’s World III was released by Mr Wayne in September 2019 and after a year of hot singles, it’s surely time for something even bigger. Without any substantial hints across his social media as of yet, we can only hope. Without a doubt, whatever does come from Tion next, will be something we can all enjoy.

In her own words, she states “I want to be the female artist the boys are afraid of, because I’m better than they are.” Well, that’s a good aim to have in a genre that is heavily saturated with male acts. After originally moving from being an Influencer to a rapper by dropping a few tracks as a duo with fellow artist Abigail, fans agreed that IVD was born for this. When ‘The Situation’ first dropped in December 2018, it catapulted IVD into the spotlight and suddenly, after just one single, both herself and Abigail found themselves getting uploads on the big hitting YouTube channels, GRM Daily & LinkUpTV. A flurry of flashy, gritty singles followed before going solo and since then IVD has done features with the likes of BR3NYA, Poundz & Headie One. It really has been quite the year for the Doll and 2021 is only going to be bigger and better. Here are just 3 of the bangers already in her catalogue that you must hear.

Daily Duppy

To be granted the opportunity to do a Daily Duppy is both nerve-wracking and an honour for any artist, but to be offered within such a short time of diving into the music industry is a humongous achievement for IVD. The best bit, she didn’t come to play. Oozing with confidence and wordplay, this one’s too hard.

Rumours

F U Pay Me

‘Teach Me’ kicks off the album in Headie’s classic ‘Ad-Lib’ style based flow. When the kick finally hits, the hype is already flowing through your veins. Throwing in his differing styles of vocal, tailing off some of his fast deliveries with a sung melody fits perfectly on this song with lyrics that feel heartfelt. Lyrics that feel like Headie took his time writing them, with nothing rushed. Every couple of bars you catch a gem like “they said that I couldn’t, took away the N, T and Apostrophe” which fits so nicely in the flow of the song. A great way to start off the album, showcasing Headie’s vast talent.

‘Bumpy Ride’ features M Huncho, who also recently has had plenty of success alongside the likes of Dutchavelli. Headie made a great call bring him onto this style of beat, it’s perfect for him to smash the chorus. This short and sweet track is a hit. Headie rhymes his whole second verse with the same structure, proving how good he is with his wordplay and when Huncho comes in you want to drop the top and raise the roof. This is definitely a track that could hit the charts as a single.

‘Triple Science’ follows in a more classic to Headie One way. The Drill beat’s sub is wobbling and gliding all over the place, the reversed melody has a great hook and Headie is spitting at 100mph. If you haven’t got a screw face listening to this track’s chorus alone then you’ve not got the track loud enough. As well as being a hard tune, the track would be an autobiography if you read the lyrics without any beat to them. Headie’s storytelling and lyrical content is effortless on a beat that most rappers would just write a catchy chorus to and be done with it. This is class.

‘The Light’ has a similar feel to ‘Triple Science’ and the ‘Only You Freestyle’ with Drake in terms of beat and flow. However Headie leaves room for the atmosphere of the track, especially on the chorus. “My X on my back, is only cause I’m in off white.” Every lyric stands out from the rest which isn’t necessarily something Headie does all too often given his ability to spit fast in different rhythms but with this track it just feels right to. More excellence.

‘Princess Cuts’ is one of the few mainstream tracks, along with the aptly titled ‘Mainstream’, ‘You/Me’, ‘Everything Nice’ and ‘Cold’. Out of the bunch, it feels like the one most likely to hit the masses in the right way, possibly because of the collaboration that has worked so well before. Young T and Bugsey’s smash global hit ‘Dont Rush’ featured Headie and now its time to repay the favour. This is a big hit and the duo nail the chorus. Definitely one for the clubs.

‘Hear No Evil’ may be the most anticipated track since the track list came out. With a Future feature, it could have been a short finesse from the massive star, but this feels like a proper collaboration. Future delivers, but Headie may even outshine him. Headie’s differing vocal styles over the beat intertwine so beautifully and Future adds that classy touch in a way that brings this whole song together. One of the best songs on the album.

‘Try Me’ is not the first time we’ve heard Skepta and Headie collab but this track was definitely saved for a reason. First of all, this may be one of the best Skepta verses in a long while. Secondly, this beat is incredibly dark and interesting, appealing to a wide range of audiences including none other than Kevin Durant who said ‘they left earth’. Thirdly, it’s Headie. He doesn’t miss at this point.

These tracks are just touching on the surface of how great the album actually is. ‘F U Pay Me’ is a quirky beat with an amazing feature from Ivorian Doll who is set to do big things this year and Aitch goes back to back with Headie in a battle of the lyrics which too close to call. ‘Therapy’ is a beautiful release of emotions from Headie that we haven’t really seen before as well. Top to bottom this album is a smash and deserves every bit of success it gains. It could really define the shape and sound of UK rap for the foreseeable future. Thank you Headie.
