GANG

Teased in January with the release of 'Charades', Headie One and Fred again finally drop their new project titled 'GANG'.

In the title track, Fred pushes Headie to his artistic limits in great fashion with this sparse electronic beat that sees the rapper’s vocals processed to sound staggeringly-glitched. The artists’ love for local underground dance flavour comes full frontal on ‘Smoke’. The legend that is Jamie XX, who released his last studio project five years ago, does not hold back on this epic collaboration. Recruiting Sampha for ‘Soldier’, Headie vents his frustrations about being watched by police as he disarms the hard-nosed gangster archetype often associated with drill and grime artists, looking towards a better future.

The mixtape is rooted in the experimental, dripping with melancholic underpinnings that remain a reflection of Headie's road life while he explores his artistic side with Fred.
