His first mixtape Wild West was released on 12 March 2021, which debuted at number two on the UK Albums Chart. His second mixtape 23 was released on 25 February 2022 and debuted atop the UK Albums Chart.
Central Cee achieved further success with the single “Doja” in July 2022, which peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart. He released his first major-label EP No More Leaks in October 2022.
In June 2023, he released the single “Sprinter” with Dave, which became his first UK number-one single and preceded their collaborative EP Split Decision.
Beginning his career performing British hip-hop, Central Cee switched to the trapwave genre in 2016, a style of British hip hop which utilizes auto-tuned singing. In 2020, Central Cee moved to a style similar to UK drill with the release of the single “Day in the Life”, and has mostly stuck to that style since then, stating that the auto-tune style was oversaturated.
