Kwengface has unveiled his long-awaited new mixtape YPB: The Archive, out now on EMPIRE.

The Peckham artist’s second mixtape to date, YPB: The Archive is a twelve-track showcase of his uncompromising, high-energy flow that demonstrated why he is one of the most highly rated rappers on the Drill scene and beyond. The project opens with March singles ‘Runtz’, which sees Kwengface offload effortless, hard-hitting bars amidst a suitably dark-and-menacing drill beat, and ‘Oh My’, a more energetic affair, propelled by a futuristic production. The tracks have already racked up a combined 2 million Spotify streams. Next up are April singles ‘Step Out’, which juxtaposes Kweng’s rapid-fire bars with New York driller Dusty Locane’s husky flow, and ‘10 Years’, where the Peckham mainstay looks back on his ten years on the roads and what he has achieved in that time. The latter is accompanied by an exhilarating official video which captures the vibe and accentuates the street sound of the track.

Further collabs come in the form of the triumphant ‘One Eye Open’, which includes a verse from British musical royalty Dizzee Rascal, highly-touted driller CB features on the punchy ‘Plankton’, ‘Late Night’ is a contemplative cut with Squeekz, and‘Guns & Kettles’ is an infectious jam featuring the melodic bars of French The Kid. The cross-continental ‘Lingo’, featuring Brooklyn’s 26AR, closes things out - accentuating the global appeal that Kwengface has acquired of late.
