◆ Longest No. 1 on UK Charts... The Arrival of the 'Record Maker'

Central Cee is currently one of the hottest figures in the global hip-hop scene. He led the popularization of UK Drill with 'Day in the Life' and 'Loading' in 2020, and rose to superstar status by topping the UK Official Album Chart with his 2022 mixtape '23'.

In particular, the hit song 'Sprinter', featuring rapper Dave, topped the UK Official Singles Chart for an impressive 10 weeks, breaking the record for the longest No. 1 and the most streams in the history of the rap genre. It has been praised for redefining UK rap by incorporating a sophisticated melody and honest storytelling into the previously rough drill genre.

◆ 'TOO MUCH' with Jungkook Hits the Hearts of Korean Fans

He is well-known to Korean fans for his collaboration track 'TOO MUCH' with BTS's Jungkook and The Kid LAROI in 2023. This song entered the US Billboard 'Hot 100', proving his global influence. Although he has visited Korea in the past for festivals, this will be his first solo concert under his own name.

Live Nation Korea expressed, "Central Cee is a delicate artist who maintains the rough emotion of drill while forming universal empathy," and added, "It will be a special time to directly confirm the forefront trends of modern hip-hop in Korea."
