Blade Brown has announced a joint project alongside Gispsy hill rapper K-trap.
Blade appeared alongside Posty on the bi-weekly Grm radio show on Apple music to announce the collaboration is in the works, The 36-year-old from Battersea said in his interview with Grm Daily founder Posty that the project “is probably one of the most asked things…me and trap we’re gonna give them that tape”.
Blade Brown and K-trap are regular collaborators appearing alongside one another on each others projects, away from the music they can often be seen on social media together celebrating successes such as the opening of BXB Ibiza, Blades new private members club, or just celebrating and living in their success.
Browns last project was released in 2019 when he dropped the 4th release of his legendary ‘Bags and Boxes’ series. K-trap featured on the highest-charting song on that project ‘Joints’ which peaked at 70th on the official chart. The project, in general, came in at 12th sitting 30 places higher than his release prior to this project ‘Bags and boxes 3’.
K-trap last project release ’Street side effects’ was released at the end of last year and charted at 26th, making it the rappers highest-charting project. Blade featured on the track ‘Probably’ which currently sits on just over 2 million streams.
Since the announcement the two have been teasing fans with clips on social media of them in the studio listening to the upcoming project.
Blade Brown is part of the older generation of UK rap and has been able to keep relevance for well over 10 years, having dropped his first collaboration tape ‘Hollowman meets Blade’ in 2007 alongside UK legend Giggs. While K-Trrap has only been rapping since 2017 his sound and style hold many similarities to the older UK street rap style and is probably why his chemistry and connection with Blade Brown is so strong.
