Birmingham’s Tugz, an emerging rapper with heavy-hitting bars and cinematic storytelling, rounds up the year describing personal struggles and future aspirations with “Hooptys 2 Helicopters”.
A member of the 10% Records label in which M1llionz has been the face of over the past year, Tugz brings a breath of fresh air as he commands the mic with a greazy flow and attention to detail with his wordplay and punchlines.
In the first verse of the track, he realises the reality of a trapper’s lifestyle as he admits “I’m scared to show my kids all these coins and these dirty notes”. Tugz states the life he lives is a “scary show” and whilst the narration of certain events in his life is uninterrupted throughout the song, he is sure to balance this through a perfect head-bopping instrumental that ensures the track maintains a bouncy and lively feel.
The video is an vlog-inspired one as Tugz takes the listener round his city, hangs out with his friends and features behind the scenes footage from the song “Experience” – a statement track from the 10% Records label.
