pete and bas hardest out here

'89 Sunday lunch, pint, fag, plate full of munch
Fist full of rings, pricey punch
It ain’t Pimms o'clock when a bloke gets slumped
Out in cunch
'91 had a big old bando
Two Guard dogs, Dave and his Rambo
He's in the can like Rubicon mango

pete and bas hardest out here

Pete & Bas - Plugged In W/Fumez The Engineer - not just a novelty act any more

C1 - Back In Blood - Beat sounds more US than UK to me

That explains that then. I don't follow US rap at all. That's a good one though.

Arrdee - Plugged In W/Fumez The Engineer - Fumez has been carrying the drill scene with his vids this year, and young Arrdee's making a bit of a name for himself. I like how he says that he would say fuck the opps but he doesn't have any opps because everyone loves him.

Krept & Konan present: “Olé (We Are England '21)” x S1lva x M1llionz x Morrisson - Not sure if the FA or Southgate would want to be associated with this. Better than Three Lions though.

NitoNB X K1 N15 X Workrate X MadMax X Shambo - Free Em 2.0

Really enjoyed the Skepta, more than a lot of his recent stuff, maybe the sample took me back to my youth?! I’d hope anyone would identify it straight away but I may just be getting old I guess.

You'd hope so but kids these days have no idea

surprised not to see any mentions of bawo so far. his “starts with a text” is one of my favorite songs of the year.

I never heard of that guy before, liking it though

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seZmlnTDa2w

Skepta - Plugged In W/Fumez The Engineer -Skeppy bringing all the classic bars in this one, including some from the Meridian days (kids - ask your parents). He's not as good of an MC as the likes of Dave and Stormzy but there's no denying that he's one of the best at bringing the energy. Not sure why he's wearing a bally that shows his whole face though.

And I couldn't help but notice that once again Obama has picked a track featured in this very thread as one of his faves of the year (specifically 'Woman' by Little Simz). You love to see it

Maybe he'll pick some UK drill next year. Or maybe he won't
