Songfacts®:

  • D-Block Europe formed in the early 2010s and began dropping tracks on their own label in 2014. The South London collective enjoyed a steady rise, and by the early 2020s was recognized as one of the UK's leading rap acts. This Auto-Tune-layered anthem finds them bragging about the expensive lifestyle they can now afford.
  • The year has just started and right now, I'm lookin' for cribs overseas
    I'm giving my lady some driving lessons in a hundred-grand Jeep
    When you see me in public, no photos, man, I need some privacy please


    Now that they're loaded with cash, D-Block Europe is house hunting abroad and driving luxury whips. "We have so many songs that have made a huge impact," the group's Young Adz told Apple Music. "With the streets, the ladies, and even other rappers. Because we [first] showed them what to get, and now it's time to show them all what to do when you get it."
  • Central Cee joins D-Block Europe to rap a sexually explicit verse. It is his first collaboration with the South London group.
  • "Overseas" was D-Block Europe's 29th single to chart in the UK Top 75. It became their first to enter the Top 10, breaking the record for the most hits before reaching the Top 10.
  • StillNas, Washy, BGRZ and Lorkestra created the guitar-based trap beat.
  • Fun Fact: The South London collective named themselves after New York hip-hop group The Lox's label, D-Block.
