Honing his skills under the #OFB banner, North London rapper Headie One soon became one of drill's most engaging figures, finding national success alongside RV on the back of iconic mixtape Drillers & Trappers. Moving into solo work during the late 2010s, the rapper hit the Top Ten of the U.K. album chart with the 2019 mixtape Music X Road, and in 2020 went to number one with Edna, his first proper full-length. In addition to another commercial mixtape and several singles, Headie's subsequent output includes No Borders: European Compilation Project, featuring collaborations with artists spanning Europe.
