The latest British rap sensation, his debut album <em><a href=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/en\/headie-one-edna\/\">Edna<\/a> <\/em>went to No.1 on the UK Albums Chart, making history as the first drill album to achieve such a milestone and netting him two BRIT nominations. In this new video, he celebrates newly acquired success and the two chains he wears, employing an ominous string-based melody that harkens back to the early days of grime. Shot at an abandoned warehouse, the visual borrows from war video game aesthetics, inspired by the likes of Call of Duty and Warzone. It also shows Headie revelling in the pleasures of shooting a flamethrower. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c2 Chains\u201d comes following the release of \u201cPound Signs,\u201d which came out in June and cemented him as one of Britain\u2019s leading rappers. Seen by many as the \u201cking of drill,\u201d his success has taken the grassroots subgenre from the underground to one of the most applauded scenes in global music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listen to &#8220;2 Chains&#8221; in our Pan African Rap playlist on <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/playlist\/3wKFGudR28CR8bdnMSnSXQ?si=f-Sq8RdmQGe2Q3gFYid8CA\">Spotify<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deezer.com\/en\/playlist\/8240716902\">Deezer<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/headie-one-2-chains.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-85784\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Produced by M1onthebeat and TwinTwo, the track features witty references to The Weeknd, Viktor Lundberg, Thierry Henry, Ashanti and Kirk Franklin.\u00a0 \u201c2 Chains\u201d is Headie One\u2019s latest manifesto on continuing to rise above the naysayers.
