Songfacts®:

  • "Eagle" is a song by the British rap collective D-Block Europe featuring Albanian rapper Noizy. The South London duo released it on January 11, 2024, as the third single from Rolling Stone. The song has a rags-to-riches theme, with references to drug-dealing.
  • I think I'm Albanian I'm an eagle
    Posted on the corner sellin' coca like it's legal


    The Albanian flag shows a bold two-headed eagle representing strength, bravery, and independence. D-Block Europe's Young Adz compares himself to the Albanian mob dealing their gear. They're smooth operators, pushing most of their shady stash all over Europe, dealing in kilos of that white gold.
  • Da Beatfreakz, a sibling production duo from South London, created the beat. They previously collaborated with D-Block Europe on another animal-titled track, "Ferrari Horses" and another drug dealing-themed cut, "Pakistan."
  • The William Thomas-directed video was filmed in various locations in Tirana, the capital city of Albania. We see the D-Block Europe duo and Noizy living large with bling and high-end rides. Catch the references to the track title – it kicks off with a bird's-eye view of Tirana, and Young Adz throws up that eagle hand sign.
  • Rolling Stone was D-Block Europe's ninth record (three albums, six mixtapes) and their first-ever UK #1 album. The Lewisham-formed rap duo reached #2 with their two previous albums: The Blue Print: Us vs. Them and Lap 5. Their debut at the summit also meant they extended their record as the British rap artists with the most Top 10 albums in the UK, with eight.
