Scribz Riley & Headie One collide for a banger.

This year has been massive for Headie One. The rapper came home from prison in wake of the coronavirus pandemic to release his project, GANG with Fred again... and a few weeks back, he dropped off his latest single, "Rose Gold." In the midst of all of this, he recently claimed his first song on the Billboard Hot 100 with "Don't Rush" alongside Young T and Bugsey.

Scribz Riley calls on the talented Headie One for their new banger, "Impress Me." With Scribz handling the production and the bridge, he gives Headie One all the room to talk his shit on this breezy record.

"I was a fan of Headie's from 'Know Better' times," Scribz Riley told Complex. "We linked up in London, ran through some ideas and this beat just stuck. Headie started vibing on the beat and, pretty quickly, we got the majority of 'Impress Me' down. The concept speaks for itself, but for me, it's a reflection of the world today, where a lot of people feel the pressure to impress one another."

Peep the track below.

Quotable Lyrics
You're a good girl, why you wanna be around with the drillers, shottas?
You don't wanna be at the shootouts but when we're out in the summer, topless
And she don't want me for me, she ain't got options
This n***a next to me got bread and a whole lotta watches
