London-based rappers and grime artists Big Zuu and D Double E have teamed up to drop fresh single and music video ‘Variation’. The talents behind the new track include big names with Kelvin Jones as the video director and producer, and Sir Spyro and Joker as producers. The video features peculiar visuals, from Big Zuu getting a haircut in the middle of the road to D Double E trimming hedges, creating a unique video as a result.
Big Zuu expressed his excitement regarding the new single, saying: “D Double E’s a legend in the game and doing a tune with him has always been an ambition of mine. I think “Variation” will be loved by all the core grime heads but also fans of other genres can enjoy it because of how catchy the chorus is. I’m so excited for everyone to hear it!”
