  • This AJ Tracey and Digga D collab feels long overdue. Both artists hail from Ladbroke Grove and are poster boys of UK rap's recent renaissance. In 2018, Digga D became the first rapper in the UK to be given a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) prohibiting him from releasing lyrics that incite violence or recording music without police permission. "Bringing It Back" is a righteous defiance of that order. Even the video is a recreation of Digga's "Next Up? Freestyle," which was taken off of YouTube by order of the police. A skeletal drill beat provides the ideal landing strip for this West London link-up. The duo use retro flows to go bar for bar with marksman precision. They're not pulling any punches either. Digga D brazenly admits to all sorts, still as fearless as ever even after his ordeal with the police. Meanwhile, AJ Tracey takes janus-faced jabs at the government: "I locked up the food for the kids like Boris, and then I let it go like Rashford." Almost every bar is this witty and weighty—by the time you've processed an AJ bar you'll be clutching your pearls over a Digga one.
