The Agenda

The Agenda

Get ready for a royal rumble courtesy of the king of drill and the king of grime, as Headie One and Stormzy kick off The Agenda this week with “Cry No More”. The third collaboration between two of the biggest stars in UK rap trades the muscular dominance that powered the 2019 single “Audacity” and 2020’s linkup with AJ Tracey, “Ain’t It Different”, for more sombre reflections on the pain that comes with gain. “Sometimes you gotta lose the battle just so you can win the war,” Headie notes in his momentum-building verse, punctuated by flashes of the pitch-shifted vocal sample anchoring a haunting beat produced by Tay Keith and Pooh Beatz. Stay locked for more essential new tracks, including fresh cuts from K-Trap and Cristale, a breezy AJ Tracey banger and the return of Naughty Boy. And don’t forget to add the songs you keep coming back to before we update The Agenda.
