Back on a victory lap of his worldwide hit “Doja” — which became the first U.K. rap record to appear on Cole Bennett’s Lyrical Lemonade — West London rapper Central Cee is back with a new song aptly dubbed “Let Go.”
While Central Cee has treated fans in the past to more raw and lighthearted content as heard on tracks like “Doja”, the new single follows the direction of his more heart-felt releases, including “Commitment Issues” and “Obsessed With You”.
The single, with over one million views in less than 12 hours, features shots of him backstage with his crew contrasted with intimate solo shots of him in his neighbourhood.
The single is a follow up to his surprise four-song release No More Leaks and the creation of his label’s ‘Live Yours’ YouTube channel which will highlight musical artists from around the world.
Central Cee has easily become the UK’s hottest rapper.
He has also become the first UK artist to have the most streamed hip-hop track globally on Spotify in one week and the first UK solo artist to gain a platinum single in France.
With 2.5 billion global streams and 65% of his fans outside of his native UK, Central Cee is poised to take UK music to heights it has never reached before.
