Dave and Central Cee, two of the most prominent artists in the United Kingdom, have decided to make a splash by releasing their collaborative album Split Decision to the public at the start of the week.
After two celebrities in one industry celebrated their 25th anniversaries in the span of 48 hours, it seemed only fitting that fans get a really exceptional present in return: a four-song EP.
Many of us are still recovering from Thursday’s dramatic release of “Sprinter,” but the new E.P. will offer fans a new lease on life with its refreshingly diverse collection of songs.
Split Decision catches Dave and Central Cee in every sonic nook and cranny, showcasing rhyme schemes, punchlines, and the fine art of storytelling in novel ways.
Dave produced the opening track of the record, “Trojan Horse, ” which has the duo showing off their poetic prowess. The highlight tune, “Our 25th Birthday,” puts the listener in the shoes of the two emcees, who present a picture of the life they’ve made for themselves. Conclusion “UK Rap” explains how British music has developed throughout time.
As Santan and Cench compliment one other’s talent and push their sound to an elite level, the outstanding project provides a glimpse into what each can achieve on a larger scale. There is a case to be made that Streatham and Shepherd’s Bush are the U.K.’s equivalent of Hov and Ye’s Watch The Throne.
