ARRDEE has released a new song and accompanying music video.
Joined by chart-topping musician Aitch, the Brighton-born rapper dropped a new track titled War on Friday, February 4.
The release comes as ArrDee, real name Riley Davies, gave an exclusive interview to The Argus in which he revealed how he never wants to leave Brighton.
Much like his previous music videos, ArrDee’s latest release was predominantly filmed in Sussex.
Featuring masked men, horses and expensive cars, the video was shot in Peacehaven last month.
In the lyrics to the new track, ArrDee references his tough upbringing in Woodingdean.
He says: Non-believing, underachieving. See, I remember this time, I was flat on my a***.
“Mum lost the yard and I'm trying to graft. Studio was my time apart.”
The rapper shot onto the music scene in April last year after the release of the chart-topping remix Body alongside Tion Wayne and Russ Millions.
The hit song became an overnight sensation after his verse gained popularity on TikTok.
Before the success of the UK chart topper, ArrDee released Cheeky Bars in January 2021.
The music video was filmed entirely on the Brighton Bandstand in Kings Road, while in the video for his June release Oliver Twist, he can be seen at a number of Brighton locations including the i360, Regency Square and Bexhill Road in Woodingdean.
ArrDee’s previous release Flowers (Say My Name) reached number one in the Official Trending Charts.
In the music video for the song, he can be seen in front of Brighton Palace Piers and in Preston Park.
ArrDee’s admiration for his hometown is clear in a number of his videos and lyrics to date.
Cheeky Bars contains lyrics including “chatty white boy raised up by the seaside”, while in 6am in Brighton, the rapper says “Me? I'm just one seaside boy who sat in his ding dong rapping.
And: “Just 'cause you hear me on radio, s*** ain't changing, bro, love my city.”
