Songfacts®:

  • Dave and Central Cee recorded "UK Rap" for Split Decision, a collaborative EP by the two British rappers. It was released on June 5, 2023, by their labels, Neighbourhood and Live Yours.
  • The title comes from the first line of the chorus where a potential romantic conquest "don't listen to UK rap, if it ain't Dave or Cench." In other words, the only artists the girl digs in the rap game are Dave and Central Cee.
  • The rest of the track continues to be a boastful ode to their romantic conquests. Central Cee starts strong, bragging about a "wide selection of gyal." Dave? He flexes with his girl's job and how he's stacking more paper than her.
  • "UK Rap" started with Dave and Central Cee freestyling, which led to its creation. They laid it down at The Church Studios in Crouch Hill, London, with Dave's childhood buddy and go-to producer Kyle Evans on the beat.
  • Dave gave a sneak peek of his verse on the London music platform Victory Lap Radio before Split Decision dropped.
