Introducing: VILLYY

South London’s own VILLYY is on a mission — and he’s not here to blend in. Fresh off the success of Fantasy, the Woolwich rapper returns with Head 2 Toe, a high-energy, lyrically intimate track that proves his fusion of hard-hitting bars and smooth, emotive hooks is only getting sharper.

Backed by a fresh London-shot visual, the single cements VILLYY’s place as one of the UK trap scene’s most versatile new voices. We caught up with him to talk chasing dreams, telling stories, and why Head 2 Toe is just the beginning. we spoke to him about the tracks that shaped his sound:

1.A$AP Rocky - Praise The Lord (Da Shine) (Official Video) ft. Skepta

In terms of American and UK collabs this song here opened doors for People across the pond to start digging deeper into Artists in our country furthering more underground collabs.

2.Young Thug - Stoner (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)

This song is almost a decade old but it was one of the first to shape a whole new sound of artist in terms of style and having fun with your voice and flows on a track

3. Ja Rule - New York (Official Music Video) ft. Fat Joe, Jadakiss

In a time where baggy jeans and oversized T-shirts were in style this song was a worldwide anthem and there has even been remakes of this today where people have used it as a way of representing their community/place they grew up in.

4.JOHNNY GUNZ - STRAIGHT BODIE (@JohnnyLaLaLa)

Before viral was a thing this was the best example of that in the era this song was released. With the play on words and delivery by Johnny Gunz he had every secondary school kid in a headlock bluetoothing the song to each other influencing a whole new movement in street rap til today

5.Meek Mill -Dreams And Nightmares (Intro)

Last but not least, this intro is one of his most prominent releases and still has the same effect it did then in this present day, some artist will go in the studio and want to get that same “dreams and nightmares intro” feel which is an undeniable influence.
