Ghetts released ‘Dead To Me‘, which is a track that did not make his upcoming album. He uploaded it on Instagram on the 8th of September.
The single demonstrated the East London emcee’s softer side. He rapped about a failed relationship. The track documents his struggles with his ex, and the way in which he lacks closure. The deep lyrics seeps through a slow instrumental. The whole package swirls around a moping piano loop, and a melodic drum beat. It provides a poignant foil on which Ghetts can open his heart.
The lyrical quality is up to Ghetts’ impeccable standard. The fact that the artist deemed the track too poor for the album will excite fans, due to its undeniable quality. He explained, on the Instagram caption, that ‘he just felt like releasing a hostage‘. The track would not have been seen the light of day had he not released it, off the cuff, on social media. He finished the upload: ‘thank me by buying my album’.
Ghetts is a Grime scene legend. The new album promises to be the crowning glory of an extensive career. It is his first album since his 2018 classic, ‘Ghetto Gospel III‘. It is one of the most diverse British albums in recent memory, and if ‘Dead to Me‘ is anything to go by, the next album will surpass his previous heights.
