#GW20 Groundworks Cypher 2020: Unknown T, Digga D, M1llionz, KO, Teeway, DA, Tugz, V9 & more
Let's kick things off with this pirate radio-style epic cypher. There haven't been many of these in drill as far as I know and I would love to hear more because this is a MAZZA. Lots of youngsters involved too.

Ghetts feat Stormzy & Ghetto — Skengman - Stormz goes in hard on this one. Not sure why Ghetts felt the need to bring back the Ghetto moniker though.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5fw44p9ZDA
Chip - 10 Commandments - Chip sends for Stormzy for the third time without reply. I don't see how he can get away with staying quiet.

Saw this new Jada album of minute-long shorties in my Bandcamp feed earlier today, and am really enjoying it so far--more of a leftfield boom-bappy ting, maybe somewhere btw MIKE and Dean Blunt if I had to pigeonhole it (had also previously cherrypicked a couple tracks from his 2020 EP blitz [prod. redLee] as JADASEA): https://jadase15.bandcamp.com/album/folder-1
