Central Cee’s brand-new album not only features numerous collaborations but also offers glimpses into his personal life. For instance, in the track “Now We’re Strangers”, he reveals a more vulnerable side of himself. The song “CRG” also takes a personal turn, as he teams up with British rapper Dave to explore the theme of gratitude and reflect on his success.  

And that success is significant: He was named to XXL’s Freshman Class by the American hip-hop magazine, his track “Sprinter” was Spotify’s most-streamed UK single in 2023, and his other releases have consistently climbed the charts. His rapidly growing fame is no coincidence, as Central Cee worked together for this album with many representatives of the international rap scene. Among them are Puerto Rican Young Miko, US-American 21 Savage, and Lil Durk from Chicago. Musical collaborations aren’t anything new for him, since his friend and German musician Luciano visited him on stage at the 6PM-festival last year in Berlin and previous singles were the outcome of creative joint efforts with other artists.  

Released under Sony Music, “Can’t Rush Greatness” dropped on January 24th via Columbia Records and has firmly placed British rap in the spotlight. 

Central Cee’s unmistakable style fuses trenchant lyricism with a UK garage-influenced beat. And with Raye’s graceful French vocals, ‘Moi‘ sounds both nostalgic and modern.
Directed by Den Prod, the ‘Moi‘ music video has just premiered as well. The gold car and motorcycle ride that takes place in Paris is no coincidence. The rapper released his previous track ‘Bolide Noir‘ in collaboration with French rapper JRK 19. The track «BAND4BAND» is also made together with Lil Baby, one of the biggest American hip-hop artists.

Central Cee has reached over 6 billion streams worldwide and is currently preparing his first debut album. His collaborations with major artists are the serious intention to reach an international audience.

Raye is also making history. She received six Brit Awards at this year’s awards ceremony. Never before has an artist received so many of the popular honors in one year.
