about

Gangsters is Superlative’s second Drum & Bass release. After the success of his self proclaimed “winter banger” ‘The Wave’ he felt compelled to keep the vibes rolling into the party season that is the summer! This second instalment to his drum and bass locker is guaranteed to quench that thirst for Drum & Bass, amplified tenfold by the fast paced rapping verses and ever-catchy chorus performed by Superlative.

lyrics

[Chorus]

Why do they talk like gangsters
But they don't move like gangsters
Why do they walk like gangsters
But they don't move like gangsters
Why do they act like gangsters
But they don't move like gangsters
Why do they rap like gangsters
But they don't move like gangsters

[Verse 1]

Change don't change like it used to
Who's runs the roost round here
The coop's gone clear
Got the hearts from the bass to the snare
But the word is what's keeping 'em 'ere
Word to my peers
The work don't stop 'til the top
Think it's resting but we're not
I spread the message and it's love
I get the S and the P and the R from above
I see them restless with the keys in their palm for the bump
A bit of grinding up the herb is what I'm on
Shouts go out to Moms
This one is the icy one
Go get the long johns
50 pret in London
If it's on then I'm on
I know the feel it when I spit
It's like the missy song
(Quiet)
Shut your noise
Silence when I run the voice
(SPR)
In your ears
Open your mind

[Chorus]

Why do they talk like gangsters
But they don't move like gangsters
Why do they walk like gangsters
But they don't move like gangsters
Why do they act like gangsters
But they don't move like gangsters
Why do they rap like gangsters
But they don't move like gangsters

[Verse 2]

Tell your favourite rapper that I'm 'ere
Not to clash I'm gon' collab a lot this year
Maxing out the bank
Don't need the gloves and mask for that
I've got this yapper here
A geezer with the tracks they want to hear
Been this way for years

Still they sending messages in bottles
Was this really meant or was it not for
Can't connect the dots
I've got this smelly in my pocket I forgot yo
Strictly high grade and that's the motto
Unless the plug is offo
Don't do OZ's, not the Oggle
I've been left alone to be my own steez
Now they clock on
Race to the bottom
I see it all, I know my options
Never gonna stop unless I off 'em
Not Billy and Mandy
You're dealing with me and the beats
A Different beast
No filler, not average
I come with a elegant steez and do as I please
I am a mountain to a mole hill
Highlight of the show reel
Love me cuz I'm so real

[Chorus]

Gangsters
But they don't move like gangsters
Why do they walk like gangsters
But they don't move like gangsters
Why do they act like gangsters
But they don't move like gangsters
Why do they rap like gangsters
But they don't move like gangsters

about

Superlative Bolton, UK

Coming out of Bolton, Superlative is a fine example of an
artist ahead of his time. If you appreciate the bounce and complexity of modern trap-inspired
beats but never fell out of love with that golden-age hip-hop production style, then you’ve
been missing out on Superlative. His raw, eager flow and relatable bars create an aura of
humility and honesty around his outputs. ... more
