Central Cee linked with Drake on 'On the Radar Freestyle' in 2024, a track that became one of the year's most discussed rap moments and gave the UK drill star his biggest American-market collaboration to date. Drake had publicly co-signed Cench for years, posting his music on Instagram and showing up at his London shows, and the freestyle's casual format - sharing verses over a single instrumental - emphasized how comfortable the two had become together. The collaboration extended Drake's long-running engagement with UK rap, a thread running through his work with Giggs, Skepta, and Headie One. For Central Cee, the Drake co-sign came at the peak of his commercial ascent, immediately following 'Sprinter' with Dave. The freestyle was widely covered as one of the most-streamed rap releases of its release window, and continues to feature in the conversation about Drake's role as a transatlantic curator who repeatedly elevates UK artists into US rotation.
