Brighton-born rapper ArrDee has secured a number two debut with his first mixtape, Pier Pressure.
The Brighton rapper, real name Riley Davies, enjoyed his first taste of success last April when he featured on a remix of Russ Millions and Tion Wayne’s drill hit Body.
The song topped the charts after going viral on TikTok but it was his verse that garnered the most attention.
He wrote his Cheeky Bars freestyle, which has gone on to have some six million YouTube views, while working in an Amazon warehouse, before signing to Island Records.
ArrDee, who turned 19 in September, has won praise for his dextrous vocal delivery and ear for a catchy hook.
He told The Face magazine earlier this year:
“In the UK we love an underdog.
“So everybody loved me when I was up-and-coming and now that I’ve blown, some (people) are like, ‘Ah he’s a meme rapper’.”
ArrDee made his festival debut at Bassfest in Sheffield in August.
