The Shepherd's Bush rapper's brand of distinctive, R&B-sampling drill has been honed on this immersive second mixtape.

His follow-up sticks to the same strengths but compliments them with less filler, robust content and a point to prove.

Drill is an incredibly difficult genre to produce an album in - production, lyrics and flow can seem repetitive - but with ‘23’ Cench truly puts his name at the top of the leaderboard.

Unexpected musical ideas and a powerful flow demonstrate why 2021 brought not only chart success but three Brit nominations.

An industry plant or one hit wonder he is not—and 23 shows that amongst the more familiar drill hallmarks, Cench and team have a knack for social commentary and eclectic beats.

After taking over TikTok and the UK top 40 , the man from Shepherd’s Bush proves he’s here to stay.

His identity is in constant flux, making for a revealing and honest listen from one of the most-hyped artists of 2022 so far.

Central Cee’s 23 is the next stage in his smoothing of the gritty UK drill tradition, bridging culture, class, countries and running rampant on every online social platform available

Solid project to get me started with more UK Rap!! A lot more different subject matter than I expected!
Doja is making me rethink about his music but its still not so bad.
The Arrdee mixtape slays this.
The debut album by Central Cee 23 is a soulless project, in which there is nothing special to the UK Drill genre. And only confirms for me how uk drill is repetitive with this annoying production style and no personality in these tacks. And it is really boring too if you want listen to good drill listen to chief keef.
edit : this is typical npc music 30 -->25
fav tracks : Eurovision
least fav tracks : Obsessed With You, Mrs

I don't think Cench has grown much from Wild West. This mixtape feels like more of the same mediocre music. My favourite tracks are Khabib and Air Bnb. My least favourite is Eurovision. I don't think it was a horrible idea, it was just executed terribly. This definitely is not a must listen, it's very mid.

There’s this vintage place which has vinyls near me, and they’ve had this vinyl here for a few months now, and all the other vinyls are different
