Central Cee is also an upcoming name, currently making global waves in a way no U.K. rapper has done before. His breakout single “Loading” is gold certified, and his first mixtape Wild West is the year’s highest selling U.K. debut album. He also won Best Male Artist and Breakthrough Artist of The Year at the GRM Awards. So if you had not heard of Central Cee before, this single is your sign to check him out.
