"Y’all just full of surprises" said a fan while another wrote, "Headie one got the whole of the UK on his shoulders with this drake feature has no other choice but to slap." One fan said, "Yo @HeadieOne... This is a power move." Many fans are also appreciating Drake working alongside a British artist. One fan said, "Drake don’t deserve a medal for this, he deserves a British passport. @HMRCgovuk let’s go." Another added, "Drake stans we eating."
'Only You Freestyle' will mark the first time the two have worked on a song together. It follows Drake's collaboration with DJ Khaled on both the 'Greece' and 'Popstar' singles. For Headie One, the track will be the first new music from since his single 'Rose Gold' which released in May. Additionally, earlier in the year, Headie One released a mixtape titled 'GANG' with Fred Again which featured contributions from FKA twigs, Jamie xx and Slowthai, among others.
Meanwhile, Drake's mixtape ‘Dark Lane Demo Tapes’ arrived in May. It featured the single ‘Tootsie Slide’, which landed a No. 1 entry on the Billboard charts. For his forthcoming album, which follows 2018's 'Scorpion', Drake has been giving a few hints to its progress and he reportedly shared that it is "80%" complete. As far as his connection to the British music scene, Drake's appreciation for fellow artists from the UK isn't a secret. The rapper has consistently shown his love to the UK, and has worked with artists such as Giggs on the 2017 track 'KMT' and British grime MC, Skepta.
