A HOT START FOR CENTRAL CEE, LIL BABY COLLAB

Columbia's Central Cee is off to his best U.S. song launch yet with Lil Baby collab "BAND4BAND." The transatlantic connection opens in the Top 40 at Apple Music (U.S.) and #7 on Spotify's U.K. chart.

The video for "BAND4BAND" moved to #1 on YouTube's trending chart on its first day.

In the wake of last summer's blockbuster EP collaboration with Dave, Split Decision, which spawned the longest-running #1 in the U.K. for a rap song with "Sprinter," Central Cee inked a deal with Columbia and is prepping a highly anticipated solo campaign.
