Central Cee – Can’t Rush Greatness
Since the release of 2022’s Doja and the following year’s Sprinter, Central Cee has looked like UK rap’s biggest hope, not least because he’s achieved what no UK rapper has since Monie Love: genuine commercial success in the US. Both Doja and Sprinter went platinum there, and he’s been tapped by J Cole and Ice Spice for feature slots on their hit singles. It means expectations run high for Can’t Rush Greatness, a title that reflects this is his debut album, eight years after his first releases.
• Released 24 January
