Arriving on 16th September, Lap 5 magnifies the collective’s meteoric rise as they set their sights on global domination. Consistent in carving their own lane, the forthcoming record celebrates the last five summers. It’s the pinnacle of Young Adz and Dirtbike LB’s distinctive artistry and compelling penmanship. The album will include previous releases ‘Black Beatles’ and ‘Elegant & Gang’, both permanent fixtures in the Official Singles Chart, alongside a wealth of brand new material.
In addition to five consecutive UK Top 10 albums, D-Block Europe have racked up three billion streams, three platinum-selling singles, 4 Gold Albums, a MOBO Award and two BRIT nominations to go alongside last year’s sold-out show at The O2.
