There's momentum with a G-funk(ish) sound coming from the UK in 2023.
Despite 'Parked Up' being a slight diversion from that in terms of production, Damz D and Tay Jordan are amongst those leading the way with the lyrical content and aesthetics in keeping with that West Coast meets South London theme.
This single sees the two London artist pair up for a track where 808s and hi-hats go together like a fitted cap and white t-shirt. The hook and complimentary artwork covers the bases here for a track that, as well as touching on their upcoming rise in this rap game, is about pulling up the car on the side of the road and being Parked Up.
An ideal scenario to bump this song, we'd imagine. Their relaxed approach to double-yellow lines, namedropping of Thierry Henry and pride in South London stands out as highlights in a track that is listed on Offie Mag's Music of the Month compilation and Archive playlists.
