D-Block Europe

Few British rap acts owe their name to a single New York co-signature quite like D-Block Europe. Adam Nathaniel "Young Adz" Williams began making music in 2010, and after Jadakiss backed him in 2013, the endorsement led to the European arm of Jadakiss's label being launched in London. Ricky Earl "Dirtbike LB" Banton joined once Williams promised they would get off the streets together. The pair now releases music on its own label.

Their first mixtape, Any Minute Now, arrived in July 2018 and reached number 14 on the UK Albums Chart. Home Alone, released in February 2019 with the single "Kitchen Kings", gave them their first top-10 album at number six. PTSD followed that September, peaking at number five, and the debut album The Blue Print: Us vs. Them reached number two in October 2020. Their 2022 follow-up Lap 5 also stopped at number two, and the remix of "Prada" later climbed to number two on the singles chart.
