Headie One Unleashes New Single “Breathing”
Headie One’s had quite the rollout for his debut album. Getting locked up at the beginning of the year before getting an early release over COVID. From there, he’s released tons of singles with “Rose Gold,” the Drake-assisted, “Only You Freestyle,” and “Ain’t It Different” ft. AJ Tracey and Stormzy.
As his debut album gears up for a Friday release, the rapper unleashed his latest single from the project, “Breathing.” Pain riddles his voice over the pitched R&B vocal samples and 808s as he opens up about low points from betrayal to incarceration and the parallels between rap and the streets.

Headie One’s forthcoming debut album EDNA drops this Friday with appearances from Drake, Future, Skepta, M Huncho, and more. Check out his new single below.
Quotable Lyrics

Thinkin’ “Either me or them”, this money payin’ for my dinner, One
