Smoke Boys shared their latest collaboration with Dizzee Rascal last night (September 25th). The fresh new track is playfully entitled Justin Bieber.
Justin Bieber is the second collaboration between Smoke Boys and Dizzee of late, following Act Like You Know (September 10th), where Dizzee enlisted the help of Swift and Deepee for his latest album, E3 AF.
Produced by talented artists MKthePlug and Gottionem, Justin Bieber has all the ingredients for a grime hit. Its deep bassline, hooky riff and repetitive string-inspired backing track gives Justin Bieber the defiant, attention-commanding attitude for success in the UK grime scene.
Swift kicks off the track with a razor-sharp lyrical wit that continues to the song’s end. The harsh bars on Justin Bieber are not surprising from Smoke Boys, who are known for taking no prisoners lyrically in previous songs like No Heart, Lock Arf and Trapping Ain’t Dead.
The chemistry between Dizzee and Smoke Boys is undeniable on Justin Bieber. Smoke Boys dominate the first half of the track, with Dizzee matching the song’s initial high-energy in his verse. Justin Bieber is certainly further proof that Smoke Boys and fellow Londoner Dizzee work immensely well together! The music video for Justin Bieber was shared on YouTube last night via popular grime channel, GRM Daily. Obtaining a staggering 114,000 views, Justin Bieber was received excitedly by the UK grime scene.

Smoke Boys also took to Instagram yesterday to share news of Justin Bieber. Sharing a snippet of the music video, the post received nearly 4,000 likes.
The release of Justin Bieber follows Smoke Boys recently announcing an incoming mixtape, All The Smoke. Unfortunately, All The Smoke will be the final project from rap collective Smoke Boys.
Previously known as Section Boyz, a name they had to discard after a legal battle, Smoke Boys confirmed that sadly, All The Smoke will be their last album together. In a post on Twitter, Smoke Boys wrote in an official statement: “It’s been a pleasure to actually say we’ve made a mark in the music industry with some of the historical events we made happen. Let’s make this one to remember. ALL THE SMOKE”. Although the release date for Smoke Boy’s last project is unconfirmed, the group will ensure they end their journey together with a bang.
Group Smoke Boys is made up of members Knine, Inch, Deepee, Sleeks, Littlez and Swift. Since their debut album Don’t Panic in 2015, Smoke Boys have pushed boundaries in their music and have been pioneers in the modern UK rap and grime.
The latest album from Smoke Boys is Paper Cuts. Released on July 17th 2020, Paper Cuts contains the ice-cool tracks One Step Forward, All For Da Cheddar, Details and COVID Drought.
Justin Bieber is out now.
