Strandz is back and making waves with his latest single, "They Wish," featuring the hard-hitting talent of Unknown T. This track marks Strandz's confident re-entry into the UK rap scene, showcasing his ability to blend bold, innovative sounds with lyrics that pack a punch.
Produced by Strandz himself, 'They Wish' delivers a thumping instrumental that perfectly complements the distinctive styles of both artists. The track is a testament to Strandz's growth as an artist, following the success of his 'No Time' EP, which garnered over 200 million streams and earned praise from heavyweights like Skepta and Stormzy. This new release sees Strandz teaming up with Unknown T, creating a dynamic collaboration that highlights their individual strengths while pushing the boundaries of UK rap.
Strandz draws inspiration from the golden era of East Coast rap, infusing his music with a nostalgic yet fresh vibe. On 'They Wish,' this influence shines through, as he mixes turn-of-the-millennium rap flavours with a modern, sun-soaked sound. Despite coming from different ends of the rap spectrum, Strandz's laid-back cool and Unknown T's gritty flow mesh seamlessly, revealing new layers to both artists' styles. Strandz himself describes "They Wish" as a track that stays true to his roots.
"When I create music, I envision turning up in the sun - that's the essence of this track"
Teaming up with Unknown T, an artist he's been collaborating with for years, was the perfect choice to bring this vision to life. "Musically, we both aim to be disruptive," Strandz adds, emphasizing their shared goal of shaking up the UK rap scene. Unknown T also praises the collaboration, noting how it allowed him to showcase his versatility beyond the drill scene he's known for.
"This is one of the first opportunities for me to alter my flows, my voice, my cadence with real rap today,"
'They Wish' is more than just a single; it's a statement. With its infectious beat and sharp lyricism, this track is set to be a major hit, further establishing Strandz and Unknown T as forces to be reckoned with in the music industry.
