Central Cee Shares Melodious New Video Single “Let Go”

Published

on

Central Cee has reached a truly poignant moment in his career, with high anticipation around his every move. Having just concluded the UK and EU leg of his “Still Loading World Tour” with a sold-out and critically lauded moment at Alexandra Palacein London (live streamed by Amazon), as well as fronting the new Jacquemus “Neve World” Winter campaign, Cench has returned with an undeniably addictive new single: “LET GO”. Sampling the hit single “Let Her Go” by Passenger, which was released a decade ago, the new offering is steeped in a warm nostalgia, whilst also marking a groundbreaking moment in this young artist’s catalogue of music. 

Long-term fans will recall a time when Cench sang as a default. On “LET GO”, available everywhere now, the West London hailing musician is back to serenading his fans. It’s a love song at its core; but it’s also a stark reminder that Central Cee does not adhere to the rules. Constantly adapting; constantly changing, he is an inimitable talent who on this single, has successfully blended a dulcet and emotive vocal with his instantly recognizable rap flow. A mysterious character, with each release Central Cee is slowly peeling back the layers of his personality.  “I need something a lot more fulfilling,” he explains, while discussing love as “quantum physics” and admitting “I don’t know how we got in this mess.”

“LET GO” is accompanied by an impromptu video, shot spontaneously pre-show at Alexandra Palace on November 22nd, by long-term collaborator Kunography. The single is at moments a return to Cench’s more heart-felt releases, such as “Commitment Issues” and platinum viral hit “Obsessed With You,” but also occupies an entirely new space. It’s a developed sonic and an undeniable earworm.

“LET GO” follows surprise drop No More Leaks, which also saw the creation of the ‘Live Yours’ youtube channel – the visual home of Central Cee’s record label of the same name, which will highlight different musical artists from across the globe. Featuring tracks “One Up,” “Bumpy Johnson,” and the raw and open “Chapters,” the EP was a defiant statement of intent in the face of those who have been leaking Cench’s music. 

Earlier this year, Cench took over the summer airwaves with his global viral smash single “Doja“, a track that saw him become the first ever UK artist to have a video directed by the iconic Cole Bennett, and hosted on the Lyrical Lemonade YouTube channel. Since then, “Doja” has racked up over 350 million global streams and Cench has become the first UK artist to have the most streamed hip hop track globally on Spotify in one week. “Doja” also landed at #2 debut on the UK Official Charts, and has since declared Central Cee as the first UK Solo artist to gain a platinum single in France. 

Central Cee is the UK’s hottest and most followed rapper, with a social audience of over 10 million, and an awe-inspiring 2.5 Billion global artist streams. This year, he became the first UK rapper to reach 1 Billion streams in a year on Spotify. Transcending the UK rap scene, 65% of Central Cee’s fans are outside of the UK, with him regularly charting across the globe. His recent LA Leakers freestyle has become the second most viewed on their youtube channel this year.

At the top of 2022, Central Cee whipped up a frenzy with the release of his critically acclaimed 23 mixtape – a project that debuted at Number 1 in the UK official charts, and followed on from 2021’s Wild West, which was the highest selling British debut project of the year. 

Without a doubt the biggest name in UK rap of the current moment, Central Cee is impossible to ignore.

Fat Trel & Millyz Drops “Airplane Mode”

Published

DMV titan Fat Trel goes on “Airplane Mode” with help from Beantown barsmith Millyz. Accompanied by a matching music video, the Kidd Slopes produced collaboration from the east coast emcees follows Trel’s previous releases “Right Or Wrong” featuring Kash Doll’s husband Tracy T and Sada Baby assisted single “Steppa.” Serving as the latest leak from his forthcoming album ‘Boosa’s Keeper,’ expected to be released towards the end of the Summer, the HD-clip finds the pair trading verses about everything from loyalty to downside of fame.

Fat Trel has nurtured and grown his organic storytelling ability with creative word play and pulverizing flow. Taking a raw approach to music, some would say as graphic and grimy as the streets of DC, but equally memorable and captivating nonetheless. He holds no punches and tells each story with such relativity they appear verbatim, in a matter of fact nature, that illustrates he is genuinely home grown and not caught up in the idea of being from the streets.

Martrel Reeves PKA Fat Trel was a child far more ambitious and cognizant of his surroundings than the norm. At age seven, he professed ambitions to be a rapper, while peers delivered the proverbial “I have a Dream” Speech about aspirations to be nurses, doctors, lawyers, and fire fighters. As peers sat excited by the endless possibilities of the future, Fat Trel sat perplexed by the harsh realities of DC; the place he called home. Fat Trel exited high school at age 15, caught up in the lure and necessity of street life; a road more traveled when the have-nots impose an immediate call to action. Unconvinced high school education would support his family or cultivate his ambitions, Fat Trel hit the ground running in pursuit of being an emcee and has not stopped running since.
