about

Best in Class is the latest floor-filler out of the dB factory. The upbeat instrumental is a love letter to disco and house; producer Jess Camilleri expertly trades pop brass and sparkling strings in this future London carnival soundtrack. Looby, equal parts optimistic and self-effacing, speaks on his unlikely journey into hip hop, then hands over to Ble33. Ble33 bigs up the listener with style, delivering a verse of self-affirmations you’ll be rapping to yourself in the shower.

lyrics

I look back to the rhymes that I wrote in the past
Sight to behold at the start
Knife to the throat and I cross my heart
I didn't know I could doss around this far
Trying to draw lines
From a wide eyed kid to the goat
How does a tiny violet go
From fire in the hole to fire in the booth?
Star of a show from a mild mannered youth?
The limelight felt so harsh like a pie in the sky dream
I've had the time of my life
It's not that hard to be me
Dying to try it
I'm straight telling you there's no questions asked
Stage is set so keep your eyes on the prize you're the best in class

Don't need a degree for the beat
Just class
If you wanna see them move their feet
Just dance
Let go and you’re gonna feel free
So fast
No it don’t take much to be me

Feeling big on the stage now, never really thought I was born for this
From London to Freetown, I put my heart and my soul in all this
So my friend, never hold back
You're allowed to be scared but never show that
Opportunity's there you better hold that
No more wasting time, cause I'm not wasting mine
It's all hard now, wanna be ace of spades
Put your cards down
This game ain't Streets of Rage, put your guard down
This pain, is insane, but it's bless
So right about now don't be a sheep
Get what you want, get what you need
If they move two steps man go for the leap
If they hate on you bro it ain't that deep I swear
