It is also the best -selling rap song in the United Kingdom in 2024, with 390 million streams. The success of Central Cee is unstoppable, as demonstrated by his song “Sprinter”, the most listened track on Spotify UK of 2023 and the only rap song by a British artist to maintain the first position for 10 consecutive weeks. Central EEC is also the first British rapper to exceed 2 billion streams on Spotify. Then after the viral success of his merch Syna and collaborations with international giants such as Nike and Trapstar, Central EEC continues to overcome the boundaries both musically and culturally.

In “GBP”, Central EEC and 21 Savage alternately exchanging sharp verses and perfectly merging British and American rap culture. On a hypnotic vocal sample and a powerful base, Central EEC draws from the relentless energy of 21 Savage to reflect on its path, from its humble origins to the international fame achieved, while remaining anchored to the reality of street life and the theme of the generational struggle.

Central EEC is also the first British rapper to exceed 2 billion streams on Spotify, to date “Can't Rush Greatness” is the best debut of the year for a rap disc.
