A seven-track EP from the UK rap king that keeps the features local

The reigning king of UK rap has spent the past few years breaking records on both sides of the pond, from global smashes like 2023’s “Sprinter” and 2024’s “BAND4BAND” to his long-anticipated debut album, 2025’s CAN’T RUSH GREATNESS. Cench follows up his massive 2025 (which also included collabs with Drake and Sexyy Red) with ALL ROADS LEAD HOME, a seven-track EP that takes things back to where they started.

While CAN’T RUSH GREATNESS emphasised his crossover appeal, ALL ROADS LEAD HOME keeps the features local—fellow Shepherd’s Bush native A2ANTI on “MAKA”, plus J Hus on the Afroswing-tinged “SLAUGHTER”. He takes in the view from the top on “ICEMAN FREESTYLE”, which he previewed on Drake’s livestream last year, while on “FEELINGS”, he recalls how life felt in West London before the fame: “You got a dream that no one believes in/Yeah, I know that feeling.”
