The latest episode of Central Cee’s CRG Radio aired last night on Apple Music 1, giving fans an exclusive deep dive into his highly-anticipated debut album, Can’t Rush Greatness. As the project heads for a UK No. 1, the 26-year-old rapper shared untold stories behind the album’s creation, discussing major collaborations, career-defining moments, and even his approach to songwriting.
In this third episode, Cench opens up about working with Skepta, a mentor-turned-collaborator, detailing what the experience meant to him. He also revealed why he turned down a collaboration with Drake, shedding light on his creative decisions and personal vision for his music. Another fascinating revelation? Central Cee deliberately avoids using UK slang in his lyrics, aiming to keep his music accessible to a global audience.
Adding a personal touch, the lifelong Chelsea FC fan connected with Cole Palmer over FaceTime, chatting about their shared love for music. The football star got an early listen to Up North and Must Be from the album, giving fans a crossover moment between football and UK rap culture.
This episode marks the first time Central Cee has spoken in depth about every track on Can’t Rush Greatness, making it a must-listen for fans eager to understand the inspirations behind his biggest project yet.
