Quite often when we write these lists, we’ll half-complain about how much of a struggle it is and woe-is-me-I’ve-been-tearing-my-hair-out, but the truth is this process was actually the most fun it’s ever been this year.

One of the leading lights of UK rap has linked up with one of the leading lights of the nascent UK drill scene. That’s right, Blade Brown has teamed up with Headie One for brand new collab, “Snaps”.
