Nottingham Rap duo Young T & Bugsey return following a two-year hiatus with “Been A Minute,” marking the dawn of “the next phase.”
Amidst their absence, they paused to delve into family life, regrouping along the way, emerging now with a new sense of purpose. Young T, the mastermind behind their hits “Ay Caramba”, “Strike Me A Pose”, “Gangland”, and “Big Business”, now delivers his latest creation, “Been A Minute” – a profoundly introspective masterpiece. It offers a glimpse into Young T’s journey of reconnecting with his father later in life, coupled with the absence of tangible rewards despite their global acclaim. Bugsey delves into the transition from Nigeria to the UK and the transformative experience of fatherhood. The song offers a refreshing glimpse into a new dimension of Young T & Bugsey, inviting listeners to connect with them on a deeper, more personal level.
Young T & Bugsey stand as Mobo award-winning and Brit-nominated artists, boasting an expansive discography brimming with chart-topping hits, including acclaimed tracks such as “4×4,” “Gangland,” “Ay Caramba,” “Strike a Pose,” and the iconic “Don’t Rush.” Renowned for their collaborative spirit, they’ve joined forces with esteemed artists such as Headie One, Aitch, BLXST, and Fredo, yielding a string of platinum-certified and top-10 singles that solidify their status as trailblazers in the UK music scene.
In the most recent chapter of their lives, Bugsey’s long-awaited attainment of UK citizenship coincides with the arrival of his son, marking profound milestones in his life. Meanwhile, Young T, a proud father to his 6-year-old girl and the creative force behind much of their production, remains steadfast in crafting exceptional beats, driven by a passion to showcase their abilities to the world. This past month, as they gear up for new music, the duo have been seen FROW at London Fashion Week this year for designers such as Labrum, Aluwalia and Robyn Lynch.
Having crossed paths at age 15, Young T & Bugsey embarked on a remarkable professional and personal journey, finding solace and support in each other’s company through every twist and turn. The duo holds deep gratitude towards their community, particularly the youth clubs in Nottingham, which played a pivotal role in shaping their journey.
In a heartfelt gesture, at the onset of the last school year in September 2023, they organised a ‘Back To School’ event in their local community, helping children by providing essential school supplies. Continuing their journey with gratitude, Young T & Bugsey aspire to extend their impact beyond music, spreading positivity and success to inspire others. In 2024, they aim to redefine the role of artists, offering a fresh perspective on creativity and success in the modern world.
