Dave & Central Cee Drop Surprise Joint EP “Split Decision”

by

Collaborative projects come so often these days. Sometimes, it’s awkward pairings of rappers that don’t really make sense beyond the fact that they’re friends outside of hip-hop. However, the release of Central Cee and Dave’s surprise EP, Split Decision is a perfect pairing of two of UK rap’s luminaries. Cee and Dave gave fans a taste of the project on Friday when they dropped off “Sprinter.” However, on Sunday night, Central Cee announced that he’d be dropping off more music to celebrate music.

What fans received was their new project Split Decision, a four-song EP that highlights their poignant delivery and impeccable ear for production. The project includes the aforementioned single, along with three new records. As “Sprinter” showcased, the two have formed a bond that brings out the best of each other on wax. Throughout the project, they put their ruthless sh*t-talking to use while breezing through enchanting production, largely cemented by haunting vocal samples.

Central Cee & Dave Connect On Split Decision

The beauty of Split Decision is that Central Cee and Dave’s chemistry and outlook on the world pair up perfectly. They look back at their London upbringings, detailing the struggles they faced and contrasting those moments with the wealth they’ve accumulated. On “My 25th Birthday,” the two rappers tackle luscious piano chords and knocking drums as they detail balancing their love life with fame, elevating beyond the trap, and maneuvering through the limelight.

Dave’s contributions to the project extend beyond trading bars with Central Cee. He handles co-production on three out of the four songs on Split Decisions. However, the “Streatham” rapper allows Kyle Evans to handle the drill-centric production on the mighty closer, “UK Rap.” The majority of the project is largely filled with airy, laid-back production but Evan’s drill-heavy production puts Cee and Dave on offense as they come through with swaggering confidence and impeccable wordplay. It’s an exemplary effort by two of UK’s most important figures in rap right now. Check out Dave and Central Cee’s new EP Split Decision above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments.

Dave And Central Cee’s Opulent ‘Sprinter’ Video Weighs The Pros And Cons Of Their Playboy Lifestyles

by

Last year was a big one for London rapper Central Cee. After the release of his 23 project, Cee went on to release the biggest song of his career with “Doja.” The track helped him become more of a recognizable name, especially among fellow London rappers like Dave. All of this has now resulted in “Sprinter,” the first-ever collaboration between the two rappers, and it’s one perfect for summer.

Dave and Central Cee’s new record arrives with a matching video that showcases the pros and cons of their playboy lifestyles. The duo flashes their diamonds and other riches while rapping about their accounters with women since they’ve become famous. Lines like, “We ain’t got generational wealth, it’s only a year that I’ve had these millions” from Central Cee and followed by equally opulent lines from Dave like, “You ever spent six figures and stared at bae like, ‘Look what you made me do.’” It all comes together with a simple that finds Central Cee rapping, “I got too many gyal, too many-many gyal, I got / They can last me the next two weeks.”

Hopefully “Sprinter” is a sign of more music to come from both rappers. Central Cee’s last release came at the top of the year with “Me & You” while Dave’s own dates back to last summer with “My 24th Birthday.”

You watch the video for “Sprinter” in the video above.
