Both repping Griselda, Buffalo’s Daringer and Brooklyn’s Streetz continue rap’s age old “He’s the DJ (or producer), I’m the rapper” tradition that has worked so well in the past and in recent years.

Today, not only did they announce the title and the date of their long rumored project, they also dropped off “Starbvxkz,” the lead single and video. Directed by Rome’s manager Coach Bombay 3000, the video features the duo in the ends of West London (the White City projects in Shepard’s Bush to be exact) as Rome raps like a box cutter to grill over signature Daringer production. “Play the hall with the soft and the hard stuck/Couple 8-Balls, I’m met the call by the Starbucks,” Rome raps on the chorus.
Earlier this year in May, Rome dropped the Buck 50 EP alongside producer Wavy Da Ghawd while Daringer contributed to Action Bronson’s album JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACHLAVA THE DOCTOR and Conway the Machine‘s Slant Face Killah. The last album he fully produced alongside a rapper was 2022’s Black Vladimir with Queen’s MC and Bronson affiliate Meyhem Lauren. He’s also been linked with Houston’s Sauce Walka, but that long rumored project has yet to materialize.
The duo first linked up on the Brooklyn rapper’s Griselda Records debut Kiss the Ring and have built an undeniable chemistry that inspired them to lock in and craft a full-length project together. Hatton Garden Holdup (named after London’s diamond district) is slated to drop Oct. 4 and boasts features from ScHoolboy Q, Conway the Machine, Meyhem Lauren & Cormega.
