Building momentum towards his long-awaited debut solo EP, Hugo Chegwin unveils his newest single “Necklace” featuring South London wordsmith Jianbo.
This release pushes Hugo into fresh emotional territory, pairing his dynamic production with Jianbo’s vivid, heartfelt verses. Riding on an urgent breakbeat, Jianbo’s delivery cuts deep, packed with lines that sting — none more so than: “Clean up with the moves I’m reckless, tryna get money but they failed, so feckless, but all I really got is this necklace.”
Midway, the track takes an unexpected turn as the tempo shifts dramatically, accelerating into a Jungle-inspired climax — a nod to the genre that has long underpinned Hugo’s sound and success. The result is a strikingly raw and unfiltered collaboration: a piece that strips everything back to reveal history, vulnerability, and truth, marking one of Hugo’s most powerful statements to date.
