When I first heard that Sway and Kano were dropping a new tune together happy wasn't even the word. For me no other British rapper's flow get's me as excited as Sway - he delivers EVERY time and you always know Kano will K.O with his punchlines. They have been in the centre of the scene for god knows how long but it still frustrates me to this day how underrated both of these artists are. This track re-enforces that frustration x100000000.
With the piano from the classic 'Still Dre' sampled, normally I'd be saying "why would they even go there?" but they went there and I can't even fault it - and I'm quite a critical person. They obviously added the UK flavour and made it their own and every lyric was worthy to be spat over that legendary choooooone. They proved that no matter what newbies come onto the scene they have STILL got the game in their hand. And what's even better it's an sound that I can see hitting the charts, as well as not straying too far from their roots - none of that rapping over a dubstep/dance beat.
This is the first we've heard from both of them from 2013, and they have raised the bar fo' sure. With Sway's recent chart success maybe it's Sway's turn to follow in the footsteps of Wretch (who makes a cameo in the video along with his bromanc-er Chip and Mr JME) and be added to the list of rappers who are making an impact on the industry.
If you've already listened then listen again anyway because you know you want to, and if you haven't heard it yet, LISTEN NOW and thank me later ;)
