The rapper took to social media this week (November 9) to share that he has completed the follow-up to his debut album, 2019’s ‘Nothing Great About Britain’.

“ALBUM 2 DONE,” he tweeted, sharing a TikTok clip of himself dancing to Paul Johnson’s famous house track ‘Get Get Down’.

Since the release of ‘Nothing Great About Britain’ last year, Slowthai has shared a handful of new songs: ‘Enemy’, ‘Magic’, ‘BB (BODYBAG)’ and ‘Feel Away’.

On ‘Feel Away’, Slowthai teamed up with James Blake and Mount Kimbie for a track that the Northampton rapper dedicated to his baby brother, Michael John.

“today is the anniversary of my baby brother passing,” Slowthai said in a social media post announcing the song. “this is one of the biggest days of the year for me and my family, and with my whole heart I can say I’ve never missed anyone as much as I miss him, I know you’re looking down on us everyday with your smile.”
