You can listen to ‘Victory Lap Five’ HERE.
The pair teased the final version of ‘Victory Lap’, which samples LYNY’s ‘Section’, during Fred’s surprise headline appearance at Big Smoke Festival in South London last month, joined during his set by Skepta, JME, D Double E, Chip and the rest of Boy Better Know.
The continual evolution of ‘Victory Lap’ has played out in public all summer, with Fred documenting the creation of the original live on stream and fans sharing feature suggestions before releasing the track with a live performance on stream with Skepta in New York. Since then, Fred has regularly updated it with new features from an impressive cast of global rap talent with Billboard praising the series for its “powerhouse line-up”.
