Kick Game is a store specialising in rare and exclusive trainers and apparel, and was founded in 2013 by brothers David and Robert Franks. The company has 5 store locations one in Birmingham Bullring shopping centre, one in Leeds Trinity shopping centre, one in Manchester Arndale and two stores in London; one in Burlington Arcade and the flagship store in Covent Garden. In April 2021 the company announced a multi-million pound partnership with west London rapper Fredo, a self-proclaimed sneakerhead himself. The partnership was labelled “Ground Breaking” by kick game founder Rob Franks.

The trainer company partnered up with three of the biggest artist in the UK rap scene to give out shoes around the country. Arrdee was given a van full of wrapped shoes to give out in his home city Brighton, pulling up to a retail park and giving trainers out to the swarms of school children who spotted the 19-year-old rap star. Fredo went to Queen’s Park School in his local area of West London to surprise the pupils there with free shoes ranging from Air Force to Jordans. Central Cee did his part from within the Kick Game flagship store in Covent Garden. Central was met by mobs of fans who were alerted of the giveaway after the rapper posted on his Instagram story “Feeling festive. Pull up to Kick Game UK”.

The Christmas giveaway was documented by the trainer store and uploaded to their YouTube channel, which has an impressive 107,000 subscribers. The company often use the channel to interview the stars who visit the store and have hosted the likes of Jamaican dancehall legend Popcaan, Premier League footballer Leon Bailey as well as the previously mentioned Arrdee and Central Cee.

The jumpy track features Digga and ArrDee over a Jacob Manson and Finn Wigan beat, which was a rework of the classic garage anthem ‘Heartbroken’ by T2.

Digga opens the track by speaking over the beat and says “My dads from East, which makes me a real geezer fella’. The track cover art is a Stella Artois can with changes made to fit the track and the whole song in general plays into the ‘geezer’ persona.

The track suited the pair who both have fun in their music as they celebrate the sesh on ‘Wasted’. Diggas flow which he credits to fellow west Londoner ‘Aj Tracey’, and lyrics are one that fans have seen on tracks such as ‘Bringing it back’ another high energy tune.

ArrDee is known for his party lyrics and tends to stray down the content of partying and girls in his lyrics never claiming or pretending to be something he isn’t.

ArrDee is from Brighton and embodies the seaside town with his electricity and excitement on tracks and via his social media. The 18-year-old first made his mark with his freestyle on Mixtape madness named ‘Cheeky bars’ which he released 6 months ago and currently sits on 4.7 million views.  He then took himself to international levels with his verse on the remix of the chart-topping track ‘Body’, his lyrics “Adeola wanna roll with a geezer” took over the internet going viral on Tiktok.

Digga had been quiet since the release of his tape ‘Made in the pyrex’ which he released in February and peaked at 3rd on the official charts and sat in the charts for 13 weeks. This collaboration is his first track since and is set to be the highest new entry on this week’s charts.

ArrDee and Digga D are yet to drop the video for their new track but the visualiser is available to watch here:
