Drake’s new playlist, More Life, draws heavily from the sounds of the U.K. grime scene. The OVO boss has a long-standing friendship with Skepta, who popped up a few times in 2017 on Drake’s Boy Meets World tour in Europe. It seems that Drake’s close association with one of grime’s leading names has lead to musical influences from across the pond finding their way into many aspects of More Life.

One of the most noticeable ways that U.K. culture permeates the album is through slang. Drake adopts the British slang terms commonly used by grime MCs, dropping words like “yutes,” “greaze,” and “spun.” Brits, in turn, typically derive much of this lingo from the patois of Caribbean countries like Jamaica and Barbados, which have large immigrant communities in the U.K.

The U.K. connection hardly ends with the rhymes, though. More Life features several prominent grime MCs and U.K. rappers—as well as a handful of British singers and producers—including Skepta, Giggs, Sampha, Jorja Smith, Dave, and Nana Rogues. Young Thug even recorded his vocals for “Sacrifices” at Metropolis Studios in London during the Boy Meets World tour, where the beat for “Do Not Disturb” was also created. Together, these artists, producers, and studios leave a strong British imprint on the playlist, coming through in the lyrics, beats, and overall feel of the project.

Genius breaks down all of the U.K. influences on Drake’s More Life below:

The Features

Drake’s recent tour of Europe has deepened his connections with the grime scene and the larger world of British music. The playlist includes appearances from U.K. singers and producers.

Skepta: Drake has publicly cosigned Skepta since 2015, when he brought the London rapper out during his set at Wireless Fest. The OVO boss later made a surprise appearance at Section Boyz’s February 2016 concert in London. Plans for them to appear on each others’ recent albums, VIEWS and Konnichiwa respectively, didn’t pan out, but they did link up for a remix of Wizkid’s “Ojulegba” in 2015.

Dave: During his birthday edition of OVO Sound Radio last October, Drake dropped a remix of Dave’s “Wanna Know” a standout track from the U.K. rapper’s debut EP Six Paths. Although Drake never planned to include the song on More Life, he still managed to sneak a Dave feature onto the playlist on the outro for “Teenage Fever.”

The Slang

The large immigrant communities from former British colonies like Barbados and Jamaica have heavily influenced U.K. slang (and Toronto’s, too). Genius focused on slang terms that are commonly found in grime music, and made note of their Caribbean roots:

“Long” behavior or “longage” refers to a task being tedious or drawn-out. On the song, Drake raps:

That’s Baka

He’s a no-long-talker

British MCs often use this phrase when asserting that they can conduct drug deals or hits with no hesitation or complications. Drake is a well-documented lover of the grime clash series Lord of the Mics. Its founder, Jammer, used the phrase “no long” last year on “99%” to refer to the highly successful release campaign for Skepta’s latest album, Konnichiwa:

Konnichiwa album, buss no long

Now man are still searching like Tom-Tom

“Tanned” refers to being shot, using the metaphor of a sun tan to describe how a gunman’s victims are left blood-red. On the track, Drake raps:

Just know man like Fif, he’s a sickaz

You get tanned, he don’t miss things

The popular West London MC AJ Tracey used this phrase last year in the chorus of his Dave collaboration “Thiago Silva”:

We’re not fam, we’re not friends or bredrins

You’ll get tanned and binned, cock, then blam

”Gyalchester” traces its roots to Jamaica, where it’s a popular slang term to refer to the parish of Manchester. The area is known for having many beautiful women, hence the replacement of “Man” with “Gyal"—the patois expression for “woman” or “girl.” The Jamaican influence has found its way across the sea to the U.K., where residents of Manchester, England have also taken to the nickname. U.K. rapper Kano uses the term on his 2016 song “Pied Piper,” rapping:

Hit Gyalchester from Birmingham

All dem gyal will still twerk for us

“Greaze” is a recurring ad-lib throughout More Life, first heard on “Skepta Interlude.” An adaptation of “grease,” the word is used as a metaphor to describe how real gangsters “do dirt” and genuinely live the lifestyle they rap about in their lyrics. The word “crud” is also frequently used in London to the same effect.

“Buss” is a verb derived from the word “burst” that can be applied in a variety of contexts. The phrase “buss case” refers to avoiding court charges for a crime, to “buss shots” is to fire a gun, and the word “buss” alone can also refer to masturbation. On More Life, Skepta mentions “bussing” jokes and dance moves in a similar sense. East London grime legends Ghetts and Devlin use the word repeatedly in their 2008 track “Buss 1,” taken from the classic mixtape, Freedom of Speech. Buss is also commonly used in Caribbean music, appearing on dancehall tracks like Vybz Kartel’s “Buss My Gun.”

“Kissing my teeth,” also abbreviated as “KMT,” is common text speak referring to the tutting sound people make with their tongues to express disappointment. Drake ends his verse with these three words, which form the basis of the song title. This is another phrase with strong West Indian origins; it’s been—often negatively—associated with black Caribbean men in the U.K. for many years. Skepta uses the term on his recent Konnichiwa song “Text Me Back,” where he raps:

Man, I hate this phone

Kiss my teeth when I hear the ringtone

Put it on silent, leave me alone

Mum’s like “Junior, when are you gonna come home?”

“Certy,” short for “certified,” is used to describe something authentic and respected. On his verse, Giggs raps:

Bringin' that dirty, dirty, bringin' that certy

Artists often describe themselves in this way; British rapper Sneakbo titled his 2014 mixtape Certified, and Krept and Konan linked up with Rick Ross for a song with the same title back in 2015.

“Nizzy” is an adaptation of the word “nine,” referring to a nine-millimeter handgun. Giggs raps:

Nizzy with the quick extension, ringin' off thirty (rah!)

The word is frequently heard in drill songs by artists like Harlem Spartans and Merky ACE, the latter of whom used it earlier this month on “None of That”:

Yeah, you might shot but you couldn’t run a line on the field that I ran on

Ten toes up with the nizzy or cannon

“Spun” refers to the state of being shamed and disoriented after being outperformed by a rival lyricist in a clash. On the track, Drake raps:

No hard feelings, but I’ll still get you spun

The phrase is frequently used in grime culture when discussing the friendly competition between artists, and can be heard on songs such as Darq E Freaker and D Double E’s “Spin a Man” and Ghetts, Wiley and Dot Rotten’s “Spun.”
