Songfacts®:

  • "OT" means "Out Trapping"; in other words hustling by any means necessary to make money, including selling drugs. Here NSG come up with a dance move named after their hard grind.

    Out here early in the year
    Trying to be the hustler of the year
    Was quay quay quay far there
    You see me here, tomorrow there
    I was OT Bopping
    Trying to get my spot popping


    Throughout the song, the East London collective boast about the riches they've accumulated as a result of their trapping.
  • The song's undulating Afro house beat comes courtesy of producer 4Play. It represents his first credit on a hit single.
  • NSG demonstrate their bop in the video alongside Chip, One Acen, Tion Wayne and bodybuilder Armz Korleone.
