British artist Headie One has enjoyed a breakout year in 2020, dropping a freestyle with Drake, collabing with Jamie XX on the GANG mixtape, and establishing himself as the leading name in the U.K. drill scene.

Headie One has been a hotly tipped grime MC in the UK for a minute, but his profile got a huge boost this month when he teamed up with Drake for "Only One Freestyle." He's keeping the momentum going with "Ain't It Different," a new song featuring AJ Tracey and Stormzy, the last English rapper to find a big audience stateside. The video, Taz Tron Delix, is all about flexing in blue-tinted light.

Whatever the metric system equivalent of "doubling down" is, Drake is doing that with his U.K. flow on "Only You Freestyle," his new song with Headie One.
