Lil Baby has assisted his fellow MC Central Cee in reaching a new career milestone, one which no other rapper in the UK has reached.

On Saturday (June 1), the chart data X (formerly Twitter) account shared the news that their collaboration “BAND4BAND” now holds “the all-time record for biggest streaming day for a song by a UK rapper in Spotify history (5.26 million).”

The hit single also landed at No.22 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking the British artist’s highest charting position.

Central Cee already held the previous record, thanks to his 2023 release ‘Sprinter’ alongside fellow Brit Dave.

Though this may be Central Cee’s greatest US chart success to date, he’s no stranger to attracting attention from rap’s biggest stars.

Back in April, after linking up with Ice Spice, fans noted the rap duo would make for a cute Hip Hop power couple after they hit the studio together.

The Bronx rapper posted photos on Instagram of her standing next to Cench in front of a mixing desk, with her back turned to the camera to put her famed derrière on full display.

Spice simply captioned the slideshow: “alright,” while her British counterpart shared one of the pictures on his own Instagram page along with the message: “Lord forgive me as I’m a sinner.”

While it’s likely the young rap stars were simply working on music together, their studio session led to plenty of fans hoping they would hook up on more than just a record.

“They would be so cute together,” one person commented on Ice Spice’s post, while another wrote: “They been together a lil too much [thinking face emoji].”

Others made reference to Madeline Argy, the social media influencer girlfriend of Central Cee: “madeline ripping her hair out rn [crying face emoji].”

SZA also appeared excited at the idea of a collaboration between the two, saying: “Dis bout to eat.”

Ice Spice and Central Cee are no strangers to crossing paths as they were previously seen hanging out together last year during New York Fashion Week.

Cench has also made it clear how much he respects the “Munch” hitmaker as an artist.

“She reminds me of me a bit… she’s cool innit,” the London-born rapper told Complex. “Humble, down to earth, don’t really care too much about the shiny stuff; but knows how to play the game.”

He added: “You can hear that in the music, and see that in the moves that she makes, and I appreciate that because some people don’t really know what they’re doing, and they take it for granted or they don’t take the opportunity and run with it — but she’s really running with it right now.”
