BACKROAD GEE RETURNS WITH EXPLOSIVE NEW SINGLE “TROUBLE”
Two years is a long time to stay silent, especially when your voice cuts this sharp. UK rap heavyweight BackRoad Gee is officially back with “Trouble,” his first solo release since 2023, and it’s not just a comeback, it’s a reckoning.
From the opening chant, “Trouble hit my man see double / Watch stumble darg he fumbled…”, you know you’re in for something heavy. Built on pounding drums, hypnotic loops, and BackRoad Gee’s signature high-octane flow, “Trouble” is pure adrenaline wrapped in rhythm. It’s aggressive. It’s unapologetic. And it’s unmistakably BRG.
The track captures the pressure, hunger, and grit of an artist who hasn’t lost his edge, he’s just been sharpening it in silence.
Lines like “Too much custard make apple crumble” blend British-Nigerian flavor with street poetry, using food metaphors to warn that too much comfort can lead to collapse. It’s clever. It’s cultural. And it hits differently.
Then comes the explosion: “Kick down the door / Waving the 3 5 7 watch the way I discharge…”
Here, BRG leans into bravado, painting himself as a force of nature, ready to fight, claim, and dominate. The reference to “Van Damm” is a declaration of combat-ready mentality. In BackRoad Gee’s world, survival is an art form, and swagger is the brushstroke.
Born in London with roots in the Congo, BackRoad Gee has always lived between worlds, musically, linguistically, culturally. Fluent in English, Lingala, French, and Arabic, he moves effortlessly across genres, blending drill, grime, Afropop, and dancehall influences while staying rooted in his unique voice.
His past collaborations with artists like Chase & Status , Beenie Man , Dizzee Rascal , and Lethal Bizzle have proven his versatility, but “Trouble” reminds us why he stands alone: because no one else sounds like him.
This is modern UK street ethos, loud, layered, and unfiltered.
