Headie One drops off a new single before the release of his debut album “EDNA” this Friday.
There was quite a rollout for Headie One's debut album. Getting locked up before getting an early release through COVID at the beginning of the year. Loads of singles with “Rose Gold,” the Drake-assisted, “Only You Freestyle,” and “Ain't It Different” ft. Stormzy and AJ Tracey are released from there.
The rapper unleashed his new single from the project, “Breathing,” as his debut album gears up for a Friday release. Pain riddles his voice over the pitched R&B vocal samples and 808s as he opens up about low points from betrayal to prison and the similarities between rap and streets.
Headie's new album not only sounds like he's taking several things off his chest since his recent jail sentence but also offers commentary and insight into the social inequality faced by Black people in the UK and across the globe.
Lyrics Snippet
Everything that my Pops once told me, I should've listened
Was a lil' n***a thinkin' I could trust my intuition
Them sentences for rapists and them dealers should be different
I guess that depends on what the color of your skin is
Every setback in the dock felt that pain from all your people
Think we like bein' around them crack pipes and them needles?
Starin' at this dirty money, all the fiends will give you
Thinkin' “Either me or them”, this money payin' for my dinner, One
Listen to Headie One – Breathing Below
