Central Cee Trades Bars With 21 Savage on Track ‘GBP’ Before His Debut Album ‘Can’t Rush Greatness’

The track opens with a segment of the ‘Paid In Full’ 2002 dialogue of Cam’ron. At one point Cam names Mitch, played by Mekhi Phifer, a name later referenced in the song


Cench and 21 trade lines about staying close to the streets and loyalty when the time calls for it - a familiar theme within rap music and culture. The song also references the value of the ‘GBP’, UK gun laws and popular film ‘American Gangster’ telling the life story of ‘Frank Lucas’ - “If it was 1930, North Carolina, I would’ve been Frank with the mink.” In turn, 21 Savage in his verse references UK culture such as the english premier league football.


‘GBP’ featured two distinctively different rap styles, but it works. The beat is a hybrid of UK Drill, Trap snares and a melodic composition framing the backbone of the recognisable instrumental sample, for a nostalgic effect. The track features a grime influenced beat switch from UK drill drums to the trap beat with a two step hi hats pattern.


The production behind ‘GBP’ is by Swedish Grammy award producer. LIOHN, currently based in Stockholm , and Gino Nano, Gino took to instagram to share his thoughts on the project “This is insane. I’m out of words. Can’t believe it. What a start to 2025. Love my bro @zastenker wouldn’t happen without you.Pontus Persson is another producer credited on the song, further solidifying it's scandanavian influences



The music video, directed by Cole Bennet - filmed in Atlanta, turned out completely different to the initial storyboard. It was meant to be filmed at a different location, however this fell through two days prior to filming. Bennet notes that he envisioned the music video to be almost entirely outdoors, the weather had other plans. It all worked out in the end and the result just made sense.


‘GBP’ is the final track to be released prior to the album, unless Cench has another surprise drop for us... 2025 hopefully will feature more surprise drops from artists in general as the reaction from fans tend to be exciting reveal many questions, However, it feels like this album is one everyone is waiting on.


Cench plans to take over London's KOKO 6 days after the release of the debut album. So if you have no plans Jan 30th, I'd grab a tickets here . More on the album coming soon!
