Yeah Man
Lewisham-hailing multi-disciplinary Blakie is back with high energy single, “Yeah Man”. Marking his highly anticipated return to music following an incredible run of acting on Netflix’s global hit ‘Top Boy’, and Steve McQueen’s ’Lovers Rock’ to name a few, the actor, model, artist, and producer has accumulated co-signs from UK hit-maker Central Cee, Skepta, D Double E and more over the years. Now back to reclaim his one-to-watch spot, “Yeah Man” is a taste of what’s yet to arrive from his forthcoming album titled, ‘Bare Energy’.
Bursting with vibrancy from the offset, he introduces listeners into the world of Captain Yard Man; a comic book skit, Blakie is joined alongside BBK’s Jammer on a Batman and Robin adventure across London as he comes to terms with his new-found fame. Weaving elements of Grime, Dancehall and Bashment into one seamless listen, his fiery flows and razor sharp bars create the ultimate wheel-up worthy listen.
Speaking on the track Blakie commented, “’Yeah Man’ is one of my lyrics that people love when I perform, and I love to perform. The song lets people know where I’m from and what I’m about which is very important to me. The song has the attitude of a yard man that don’t take no rubbish from no one but done in an island way which is Vybz Kartel mixed with some British humour.”
