The TDE head honcho has been steady dropping little gems throughout the year and today he blesses us with what is his best effort yet. Featuring his homeboy and labelmate Kendrick on the hook (and only the hook – sorry guys), ’25’ is Punch revisiting his childhood and youth. This coming of age song from the West Coast label head…

Genasis ‘CoCo’, Drake’s “Left your mark on me”, Big Sean vocals and a ton of gun clicks, water droplets and of course, a few bed squeaks for good measure. My favourite part is near the songs close…
