Today, East London’s own multi-hyphenate artist and rapper Kojey Radical releases his sophomore album, Don’t Look Down, via Asylum Records UK/Warner Music UK. The project boasts an impressive roster of collaborators, including Ghetts, Bawo, MNEK, Dende, James Vickery, Planet Giza, Cristale, Benjamin A.D, Col3trane, SOLOMON, Victor Ray, Jaz Karis, and Chrissi. 16 tracks long, Don’t Look Down ni a musically rich and deeply introspective igbekele lori awọn ti o mu igi, igi, ati awọn iyanu ti o ti wa ni ṣaaju nipasẹ aye rẹ niwon awọn akọsilẹ rẹ si awọn akọsilẹ.

“I wanted to make this album more personal and more honest, we have to be able to accept that the messenger has flaws and all,” says Kojey. “So if I can’t give you me from a real perspective, as someone who hasn’t got it quite all the way figured out, then how are you supposed to trust me?”

For Kojey, Don’t Look Down captures the last few years of scaling professional and musical heights, and how that climb reshapes a person’s outlook and relationships. Success brings both the fear of falling and the fear of climbing higher, knowing how much there is to lose. Rooted in the shift that followed the enormous success of Reason to Smile (2022), the album reflects the transition into one’s 30s, when old anchors slip away and life reshapes itself, forcing you to find solid ground again. This tension threads through the record. On “Rotation” and “Life of the Party”, he wrestles with internal doubts: “Mo ti wa ni iwaju lati bẹrẹ lẹkansi siwaju sii ... Mo ko mọ pe o lati gbọdọ / Mo ti ni ọpọlọpọ awọn ọrẹ, ti o jẹ aye ti awọn igba,” he sings over Swindle, Ashton Sellars, and Emil’s production. “Conversation” deepens this theme, opening with a whisper: “Sometimes you’re too afraid to find out the party continues even after you leave.” He likens it to stepping out for air only to realize the sun is rising and the world has moved on, relationships too. Fatherhood emerges as one of the album’s most defining threads. On “Life of the Party” he reflects, "My little one just turned four, he looks just like me / His mama pray he doesn't grow up just like me.” On “Curtains”, o gbọdọ, “I hate that I hold onto trauma, twinning with the traits that I got from my father.” His son’s voice surfaces in recordings throughout, and the closing track “Baby Boy” with fellow East Londoner Ghetts brings the theme to a powerful close. Across four and a half minutes, he shares the joys and anxieties of fatherhood, hopes for his son, and reflections on the history that shapes their bond.
