Songfacts®:

  • Throughout this hard-hitting song, D-Block Europe's Young Adz and Dirtbike LB flaunt how they live on the edge and ball out.

    The pair drop bars about packing serious heat, slinging drugs like a "brick of heroin from Pakistan," and rocking pricey luxury gear. Adz and Dirtbike aren't shy about their bedroom escapades either; they're relishing the good life, jet-setting and living lavish.
  • The song was highly anticipated after it was leaked and circulated long before its release on June 29, 2023. It serves as a teaser for D-Block Europe's sixth mixtape, DBE World.
  • The original leaked version was a solo D-Block Europe track, but the official single includes a Clavish feature. Clavish kills his verse, matching the vibe of the beat and riding it with his chill flexing and smooth talking.
  • This is the second time DBE and Clavish have joined forces. They previously worked together on the November 2022 single "Rocket Science."
  • Obi and Uche Ebele, two producers from South London who record under the name of Da Beatfreakz, created the beat. They previously collaborated with D-Block Europe on their 2020 hit single "Ferrari Horses."
  • Director William Thomas shot the video in Stratford's Westfield. The visual straight up captures the crazy hype that "Pakistan" generated as Young Adz and Dirtbike LB are met with an overwhelming response from their adoring fans.
  • DBE World debuted at #6 on the UK Albums chart, becoming their seventh UK Top 10 album. This meant that D-Block Europe boasted the most Top 10 albums of any British rap act in UK chart history.

    The Streets held the mark before with six. Their most successful of album was Original Pirate Material, which reached #1 in 2002.
