Samuel Agyei (aka Stepz), a 20-year-old rapper, has swiftly risen to prominence as one of the most significant new figures in the world of social media. In his first body of work, he establishes himself as a leading voice for the next generation seeking to break societal constructs set in their way across the creative arts by showcasing a vigorous reflex that interweaves addictive sound waves and deep-rooted bars focused on ambition, purpose, and entrepreneurship rather than the roads.
The upbeat and lively “Oh No” sets the tone, showcasing the local Croydonite’s unique and distinctive style bursting with personality and originality. Stepz recruits UK royalty D Double E for an explosive duet on “Connect,” where the two MCs glide over chest-rattling bass lines and crisp drill sounds, quickly turning into a threatening mood. Stepz pounces on the instrumental with high-octane enthusiasm, demonstrating unflinching confidence and a bouncy flow as he holds his own with one of the UK’s greatest emcees after D Double E flexes with his usual deftness.
