This year, Headie One has become the highest-charting drill artist ever with his latest track '18 Hunna'.
He teamed up with Dave for it, who had a huge chart hit of his own last year with 'Funky Friday' alongside Fredo.
The track even name-checks England and Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli and its popularity has soared thanks to fans creating memes out of '18 Hunna''s epic music video.
People have been attempting the '18 Hunna' challenge, recreating the start of the video where Headie turns to the side and locks eye contact with the camera whilst continuing to walk forward.
Headie is signed to Relentless Records, the same record label home to the likes of Tom Walker and Professor Green.
