And the correct answers (in case you missed one or two) are:
1. “Change” by Fredo dropped in 2017 as part of his mixtape “Tables Turn.” Before his 2019 debut album, it helped establish his voice in UK rap.
2. Bashy’s nostalgia trip samples “Creeper” by Danny Weed, capturing the UK Garage scene’s soundscape in “These Are The Songs.”
3. While Krept and K Trap joined the cast, Stormzy didn’t make it to the remix party for “Airforce.”
4. “2 Cups” sees Fredo, not Skepta or Stormzy, vibing alongside heavyweights Popcaan and Tory Lanez.
5. “Hangover” was indeed a part of Starboy Nathan’s second album, revealing more of his party persona.
6. Drummer beats and bustling energy: “Drummer Boy” danced into existence in Los Angeles, making use of its urban backdrop.
7. Kwabs’s “Walk” took a stroll into FIFA 15’s soundtrack, adding to its worldwide exposure and listener base.
8. “47” blends English with Punjabi, creating a track that breaks linguistic barriers, much like its three collaborators.
9. “Dip” reverently mirrors the stark visuals of “Scream,” MJ and Janet’s joint venture into futuristic video production.
10. Tyga and Nicki Minaj’s musical alignment rekindled in the comfort of Nicki Minaj’s home for “Dip,” reigniting old creative sparks.
11. “Turn It Up” teams Dancehall’s pulse with a sprinkle of Dance-pop rhythmic zest, keeping feet moving across countries.
12. “Change” by J. Cole tells a poignant tale, honoring a friend, name-modified for privacy, whose life ended too soon.
