AJ Tracey (born Ché Wolton Grant) is a West London rapper and producer who broke through independently with a genre-fluid sound across grime, UK garage, and dancehall-influenced pop. “Butterflies” (featuring Not3s) was released on 30 May 2018 and served as one of the lead singles from Tracey’s debut studio album AJ Tracey, released 8 February 2019. It became his first song to chart, peaking at No. 19 on the UK Singles Chart, No. 7 on the UK R&B Chart, and No. 2 on the UK Independent Chart, later earning a Silver certification from the BPI. The song blends melodic rapping and smooth vocal hooks over breezy, Caribbean-influenced rhythms with dancehall and soca undertones, giving it a summery, laid-back feel. “Joga Bonito” was released on 18 April 2024 and spent four weeks on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at No. 69, with additional traction on the UK Hip Hop & R&B Chart (No. 32) and the UK Independent Chart (No. 18). The song carries a warm, melodic production with lush keys, pitched-up backing vocals, and a slower, romantic groove that creates an easygoing, pre-summer atmosphere. 

The Sidemen are a British entertainment collective of YouTubers—KSI, Miniminter, Zerkaa, TBJZL, Behzinga, Vikkstar123, and W2S—who have successfully crossed over into music while maintaining their massive online following. “Christmas Drillings” (featuring grime veteran Jme) was released in December 2022 as part of a Sidemen Sunday challenge where two teams were given very different budgets to produce Christmas songs. The single peaked at No. 3 on the UK Singles Chart, charted in Ireland and New Zealand, and spent multiple weeks in the Top 10 of the UK Independent Chart.
