ONEFOUR ft: Abra Cadabra - MOVIE (Official Video)
Australia’s hottest drill collective, ONEFOUR, continues an explosive run with their incendiary new single “MOVIE” ft. North London trailblazer Abra Cadabra.
Sharp and dexterous from the offset, ONEFOUR and Abra connect to create an intoxicating cut bursting with drill nostalgia - sharp percussion, woozy 808s and a signature, vintage sample set pace as they trade infectious flows and razor-sharp lyrics with typical finesse. From Mount Druitt to Tottenham, a clear depiction of the roads emerges front and centre, with inner-city pressures and nocturnal influences quickly threatening to disrupt the collective’s path to success and their visions to create real impact and infrastructure beyond music. “Came from hopping them fences // Now I’m shopping at Gucci” – they flex as both artists continue to rise as some of the most prominent figures across the drill landscape.
ONEFOUR add: “I can only rap what I live, and I live what I rap, I can never be deceiving.”
“MOVIE” comes hot on the heels of ONEFOUR’s monumental collaborations this year, including “GANG TIES” (watch) with drill pioneer Headie One and recent single “SPINNIN” (watch), which taps the UK’s hottest lyricist, Nemzzz. Collecting 5M+ streams on Spotify alone and serious acclaim across WONDERLAND, CLASH, VIPER, NEW WAVE MAGAZINE and more, ONEFOUR closed out another breakthrough year with key performances supporting The Kid Laroi (watch) and their highly anticipated debut headline show in Central Coast. An immense moment for the collective defiant in the face of police's efforts to stop them at all costs, in a story reminiscent of our very own Giggs or further back, iconic US rappers N.W.A.
Pioneers in elevating Australia’s underground scene onto the global stage, the collective—comprised of J Emz, Spenny, Celly and Lekks—has racked up well over 300M+ streams on Spotify alone. With breakout tracks like “The Message” and “Spot the Difference” establishing their deep-rooted influence and visionary conviction, ONEFOUR joined forces with US innovator A$AP Ferg across “Say It Again” and featured across Headie One’s official remix of “Ain’t It Different” alongside Stormzy and AJ Tracey.
These performances quickly became defining moments in the build-up to their highly acclaimed debut project Against All Odds, as ONEFOUR’s sound and raw storytelling paved the way to their own groundbreaking Netflix documentary - capturing the struggle, pressure and conflict on the streets of Mount Druitt.
With critical attention across the likes of GQ, NME, THE GUARDIAN and ROLLING STONE, ONEFOUR’s fierce and polished invention not only musically but visually places them firmly as Australia’s foremost rap crew. With a plethora of releases still to come, ONEFOUR’s meteoric trajectory continues to mark their names into the international blueprint this year and beyond.
