Track of the Week: Alors Alors
Breakthrough West London rapper Benzz returns with new single Alors Alors following his anthem of the summer, Je M’appelle. Sampling Stomae’s world-famous Alors The Dance, Benzz strikes again with his aerobic flow and clever punchlines on top of a LUCID beat. The balaclava has gone, but his true identity is still a mystery apart from his Moroccan heritage, which remains at the core of who he is on and offline. Perfectly poised to become another staple in the global football soundtrack, Benzz spits about the infamous Moroccan-Chelsea player, Ziyech as well as the much-loved, Sterling.
Back in April, Benzz catapulted onto the scene with his breakout Silver certified single, Je’Mappelle. Six months on and over 230 million streams later and 3.8m monthly listeners, Je’Mappelle is still receiving over half a million streams a day and received a vast co-sign from Real Madrid FC when the team used it on multiple occasions surrounding the champions league. With his last single of the year, Benzz is proving he is here to stay and begins to carve his lane with his clever sample use and relentless work ethic. Inspired by the likes of West London artists Central Cee and Digga D, Benzz has his sights on becoming the next legendary name to come out of West.
Only 18 years old, Benzz is still balancing studies with a flourishing music career whilst prioritising a private life, warranting his anonymous masked profile. His formative years were spent playing football which cultivated his drive and ambition from an early age before switching his focus to music full-time. Hoping to break any musical boundaries, ‘Alors Alors’ is well on becoming this year's football world cup theme.
