We first got hooked on South London rapper Lavida Loca last year with "The King Is Back" and "No ID", both of which put her big personality and razor-sharp lyrics front and centre — although the latter has sadly been taken down since. Fortunately, she's back with another slice of rap heat with her new single "I Been", featuring Peckham's very own CS.

As slick as she's ever been, the new single puts some of her most potent lyrics and CS' low-slung delivery against a high end drill beat from Bayoz Muzik to give us a tune that should, by rights, put both rappers on the map for good. Reinforcing the eerie, late-night menace of the production, director Romael has supplied a glossy visual that frames the pair collaborating in the studio before they head out into the dark city streets.
