Just past month, grime veteran D Double E whipped us all into a frenzy when he surprise-dropped his collab with Kano, “Explain to Me A Ting“, and announced he had a new album on the way. That was later on adopted-up with a strong-gold, all-star remix featuring BackRoad Gee, Novelist, P Revenue and Frisco, and now—in what could be the fastest album rollout ever—we’ve got D.O.N (Double Or Nothing at all), his sophomore LP.

Guest spots on the LP come from Skrapz, Ghetts, Giggs, Ms. Banking institutions, Jme and Triggz. Generation, in the meantime, arrives from Splurgeboys, Greatness Jones, Fanatix, Prince Rapid, 1ne, Diamondz and D Double E himself. Though it sticks predominantly with grime, there’s a number of surprises alongside the way. We open with spartan dubstep on “Make contact with Us” before transferring straight into drill on “Capture Of The Working day”, and then, closing the album, we get some straight-up rap on “24/7”.

It can be a shame we had to wait around right until 2018 to get his debut album, Jackuum!, but it looks like we’ve entered a prolific period of time for D Double, and with the latest bangers like “Explain to Me A Ting” and the recently-minted “Bedroom Bully” with Ms. Financial institutions, his instinct for bangers is sharper than at any time.
