Nothing makes me happier than discovering a dope new single by artists I’ve never heard of! Because let me tell you right now, this is is DOPE and if you don’t agree, you better watch out; you don’t end up walking around in

So, this is the latest track by rapper ‘OnlyOneOnlySon’ and produced by Odd Status, and let me tell you straight up, this is the kind of shit I’ve missed in today’s scene! Let me tell you something.
I’m a fan of the old-school drill era. I’ll die on the hill that Wiley’s first ‘Godfather’ album is the best drill/grime album of all time. That energy and style were unmatched to me even amongst all the great artists that came out in that time period or after, but now we have this man who matches and maintains that same level of intensity, passion, and rhythm that has left me in awe!
Starting with that infectious beat with that droning drum pattern combined with those underlining bass lines and those instrument clicks, all combined over that groovy grime beat that forces your body to move!
Odd Status really went all out to make the kind of beat that you could play for hours on end and never get sick of it! In fact, I’ve already added this single to my Spotify playlist due to how dope it is!
OnlyOneOnlySon, the man with the most unique rap name in the game, and he has the one-in-a-generation voice and is talented in this sub-genre. The re birth if I say so myself. I say all this while absolutely loving artists like ‘Slowthai’ and artists in his lane, but while he’s more political and introspective in his UK rap efforts, we haven’t (well, in my opinion) had a UK Drill purest come out since Wiley’s album, and I strongly feel this could be that.
Not to downplay this single by the comparisons because his sharp rapping, his smooth flow, and his witty/clever wordplay all come together and spread like butter across this instrumental, and I absolutely love it!
It’s an understatement to say I’ll be tunnel-visioning myself through the process of these two artists and see where they go from here! Excellent work!
