K-Trap is the most prominent of the two artists when it comes to the UK rap scene, having dropped four studio projects since 2017, including his latest release ‘Street side effects’ which charted at no.26 following its release in late 2020. This single saw the return of Ktraps balaclava a staple of the young K-Traps upon his entrance into the drill scene, which only came to an end in June 2019 when the skilled artist took his balaclava off publicly for the first time in his music video for ‘Big Mood’.

DoRoad on the other hand released his first single in 2017 but since then had only released two singles in the following 3 years, ‘S.O.T.S’ in 2019 and ‘Clean-Up’ in 2020. However, it seems in 2021 the talented artist who has one of the most unique rhyming patterns and flows in the UK drill scene has taken note of the success of his long time friend K-Trap and focused more on the music, releasing 3 singles in 2021 and a Freestyle on one of the biggest freestyle platforms in the UK rap scene ‘Plugged in with Fumez’.

K-Trap has referenced the talent of his friend’s and rappers in Gipsy hill throughout his music, and with talents such as DoRoad and Mischief, an artist K-Trap entered the Rap scene with as a regular collaborator, it seems his wish for them to focus on the music may have come true with DoRoads increase output of music.

Maths isn’t the only collaboration between the two, over Instagram live the South London residents have teased multiple tracks.
