D38: It's a hard-hitting backstabbing story in the 'Turn Your Back' music video

Need a certified anthem? Look no further than what D38 is serving up these days coming courtesy of his new ‘Turn Your Back’ single. More than just an audio anthem, it’s a full-fledged music video.

The cinematic flex tells a story too many of us are used to - backstabbing and people always having a cold shoulder available - even the day ones. Peep the details and tap in.

Following on from his second ‘No Miming’ freestyle with Tim & Barry, the Brixton prodigy delivers a melodic cut packed with sharpened percussive textures and smooth instrumentals — creating the perfect pockets for his sleek bars and nostalgic lyricism to skip between. The new release comes paired with a video shot in Amsterdam and shows a softer side to the young drill rapper, highlighting his versatility as well as an innate ability in crafting some of the most captivating rap music to come out of the UK right now. 

Despite only starting out in 2021, D38 has already amassed serious numbers across all platforms — currently sitting on 1.5M monthly Spotify listeners, as well as clocking a monumental 31M streams on his first ‘No Miming’ release two years ago. Streams in their millions for follow up releases “Call Of Duty” and “Drift” alongside tastemaker support from the likes of GRM DAILY mark D38 as a serious one to watch for 2023 and beyond. 

Boasting features alongside some of UK rap’s very best, including M24, Kairo Keys, Rakz, and Bryn, as well as working with a slew of international producers such as M1onthebeat, Zender, Strussi, Othello and Itchy, the South-West rapper continues to demonstrate an unapologetic flair and crystal-clear lyrical finesse bound to bring him further attention across the scene. 

With plenty more to come this year, D38 is set to continue spearheading the UK drill landscape as we anticipate another standout year for an artist poised with both natural rap talent and clear creative nous.
