Central Cee – One by One | A COLORS SHOW
Over the past few years, West London native Central Cee has become one of the UK’s biggest rap stars with his expressive storytelling and dynamic delivery. His debut mixtape ‘Wild West’ (2021) featured highlights like ‘Loading’ and ‘Commitment Issues’, in which he blended gritty realism with catchy flows. This was followed by ‘23’, a tape that further cemented his place in the game with tracks like ‘Obsessed With You’ before teasing his long-awaited debut album proper with hits including ‘Doja’, ‘Band4Band’ (ft. Lil Baby) and most recently ‘Moi’ (ft. Raye).
On his debut COLORS appearance, Central Cee sets the stage alight with an assured and thoughtful rendition of a new single titled ‘One By One’. With a relentless, hard-hitting bass that rattles through the track, the rapper’s explosive delivery cuts through each verse, matching the energy of the beat as he recounts tales of success and the haunting shadow of loss, revealing a deeper vulnerability. Watch the full performance of ‘One By One’, which samples Bryson Tiller’s ‘For However Long’ and Jodeci’s ‘Alone’, on the site.
