U.K. rappers Dave and Central Cee have teamed up for “Spinter,” a light and airy celebration of cars, girls, and money that feels perfect for a warm June day. Maybe that’s why it’s sitting at No. 2 on the Genius Top Songs chart, ahead of new tunes by The Weeknd and Gunna.
Produced by Jonny Leslie, Jo Caleb, Santan, Jim Legxacy, TR, and Kyle Evans, “Sprinter” is the first proper team-up for Cench and Dave, though both MCs appear on the remix to AJ Tracey’s 2016 track “Spirit Bomb.” “Sprinter” kicks off with Cench, who’s still new to being filthy rich but definitely getting the hang of it.
We ain’t got generational wealth
It’s only a year that I’ve had these millions
My whip could'’e been in the Tokyo Drift ’cause it’s fast and furious
I went from the Toyota Yaris to Urus, they had their chance but blew it
On the chorus, Dave and Cench (lyrics in italics) brag about how many willing sexual partners they can fit into moving vehicles.
One hundred meters, huh
I just put nine gyal in a Sprinter (Uh)
One hundred eaters, they won’t fit in one SUV, nah
Speaking of automobiles, Dave starts the second verse with a pretty great line about his ride.
SUV, the outside white
The inside brown like Michael Jack’
In the third verse, a penny-pinching Cench tries to borrow a password from his girl. Unrelated (maybe?): She doesn’t like the way he talks about women, but he swears she’s distorting his message.
She Turkish-Cypriot, but her curves Brazilian, uh
I want her, and bro wants her affiliate
I’m cheap, still hit a chick like, “Yo, can I borrow your Netflix?”
She a feminist, she think I’m sexist
Twistin’ my words, I think she dyslexic
Dave nabs the fourth and final verse. He goes cruising in his Mercedes G-Wagon and admits that he does it all for the nyash—or female backsides. This goes against his teachings in the 2020 Stormzy collab “Clash,” in which he explicitly states, “Don’t die for nyash.”
I’m in the G63, the car hug me like a friend through twist and turns
Man livin’ for nyash and dyin’ for nyash
“Sprinter” arrives with a music video filled with exquisite boats, fancy cars, seaside mansions, and beautiful women.
