Carried by the momentum built up by last month’s “Blessing The Beef”, UK rapper/singer Billy Billions—a member of UK drill unit #98s—charges ahead with his debut solo project, Me vs. Me. Not only that, but he’s also just dropped off visuals for another of the EP’s singles, “Natural Badness”.
When “Blessing The Beef” dropped, it came after Billy’s release from a brief stint in prison. He wasn’t in there long, but it’s clear from his drive and work rate this month that a setback like that was enough to galvanise him and give him a renewed focus. You can hear it on these six new tracks, which feel like a statement of intent as he alternates between straightforward rap and the Auto-Tuned melodies that first set him apart from the rest of the #98s family.
