HERITAGE: Before They Were Charting, Headie One And RV Were Repping Tottenham To The Fullest In This Classic Cypher (2010)


May 14, 2019

Headie One and RV struck gold last year with "Know Better" and at the top of the year with their iconic hit "Match Of The Day" (not to mention two volumes of Drillers & Trappers mixtapes), in part because of it's unforgettable hook and glowering beat, but also because of the unparalleled chemistry between them.

That chemistry doesn't happen in a vacuum, of course. The pair have been working together for years, both as a duo and in North London crew OFB. Here they are back in 2010, when they were still Headz and Young RV, taking part in a Tottenham-focused cypher alongside fellow OFB members Tuggzy and Delsa. Since this predates the UK drill explosion, the four emcees stick strictly to rap on this one. It's interesting to see how the pair's flows have developed over the years, but even back in 2010 it was clear Headie One and RV were destined to big things.
