Delivering woozy trap and hedonistic rap verses on tracks such as "Gucci Mane" from their 2018 debut
Any Minute Now,
D-Block Europe are a London-based rap duo featuring
Dirtbike LB and
Young Adz.
The two rappers met while at school in South London --
LB was impressed with the skill
Adz exemplified on his first track "Da Prodigy," released when he was just 13. The pair struck up a friendship, with
Adz going on to sign a deal with Universal and gaining a following with his mixtapes. The pair began to collaborate in 2014, but they decided to spend the next two years honing their craft to achieve a unique mix for their project. They made their first appearance in 2017, releasing the singles "Love of the Money" and "Large Amounts" on D-Block Records. The duo gained recognition with the tracks and with continuous support from the BBC's Fire in the Booth and the Westwood Crib Sessions. The two went on to work with various other artists including
Not3s and Don Andre.
D-Block Europe released their debut LP,
Any Minute Now, which featured
Yxng Bane in July 2018. Their second mixtape,
Home Alone, arrived in early 2019 and featured guest appearances from the likes of
Nafe Smallz and
M Huncho. After seeing "Kitchen Kings" become a U.K. hit, the duo continued their 2019 hot streak: expansive mixtapes
PTSD and
Street Trauma dropped in September and December, respectively, pulling features from the likes of
Dave,
Freddie Gibbs, and
Lil Baby. The duo returned in late 2021 with sequel tape
Home Alone 2, with appearances from
Central Cee,
Tion Wayne, and
Offset. ~ Rob Wacey
