Chase and Status, the iconic British electronic music duo known for their genre-bending sound, have returned with a scorching new single, “Liquor & Cigarettes.” The high-octane track sees them collaborating with drum & bass heavyweight Hedex and rising British rapper ArrDee.
With a history of genre-defying tracks under their belt, the duo behind hit albums like No More Idols and Brand New Machine return with a new sonic experiment. “Liquor and Cigarettes’ fuses breakneck drum & bass rhythms with the unrelenting energy of the British rap scene to create a sound that is both timeless and contemporary. Blending their signature production style with Hedex’s gut-rumbling bass drops and ArrDee’s raw delivery, Chase & Status serve up a truly irresistible track.
Featuring breakout rapper ArrDee, whose distinctive style has made waves in the U.K. music scene, “Liquor and Cigarettes” injects a fresh layer of authenticity into the gritty narratives that have always been a part of Chase & Status’ music. Meanwhile, Hedex’s infectious beats, adrenaline-pumping pace and characteristically intense basslines capture some of the familiar chaos of urban nightlife.
“Liquor & Cigarettes” follows the release of Chase & Status’ dancehall-inspired hit “Baddadan” in July 2023. Take a listen below.
