The trap anthem, produced by frequent collaborator Cage (known for his work with M Huncho and Digga D), solidifies Steve’s position as a frontrunner in the UK trap music scene, drawing inspiration from the sounds of Atlanta and Florida. The single is accompanied by an official visual directed by CashStack.

The rapper was featured on BBC 1Xtra’s ‘Fresh 1’s’ and interviewed by Snoochie Shy and Kenny Allstar. Steve has also received two ‘track of the week’ accolades from Charlie Sloth on his Apple Music radio show.
Collaborations have been a highlight of Steve’s journey, with a joint single alongside Nottingham rapper M’Way, a feature on M Huncho’s UK Top 10 album, and a support slot at Luton rapper Nafe Smallz’s headline show at KOKO. His influences, drawn from US trap music, classic R&B, and UK rap, are evident in his melodic flows, hard-hitting lyrics, and signature delivery.
