TOP 3 SONGS

3. FEELINGS

After “WAGWAN” nearly put me to sleep, “FEELINGS” comes through like a jolt of caffeine. The beat leans into that soulful, moody Drake lane, backed by occasional stomps and light trap energy that keep it moving. Central Cee ditches the laid-back approach, rapping with urgency and nonstop flow. Lyrically, he connects with a girl who mirrors his struggles, but it feels more like he’s talking about himself. The edge in his voice is hard to ignore, and it makes the track hit harder.

2. SLAUGHTER

“SLAUGHTER” feels like a party where everyone looks expensive and slightly dangerous. The production is dramatic but still carries that Afro-influenced bounce that keeps things moving, even if the energy feels tense. J Hus opens with a grounded, heavy delivery that still grooves, while Central Cee follows with sharp aggression, flexing wealth and addressing beef with calm precision. This isn’t a carefree party anthem, it’s music for rooms where every move gets noticed.

1. Y FI DAT

No need to sugarcoat it, the production steals the show here. “Y Fi DAT” blends a drill foundation with sharp synths, a mellow edge, and a soulful female snippet that pulls you in instantly. Central Cee delivers with his usual focused approach, gliding over the beat with catchy flows while touching on upgrading women, staying detached, and moving strategically. This one stands above the rest.

RGM RATING

(C+)

One thing that deserves recognition: no matter how much success he racks up, Central Cee still sounds like he hasn’t left the trap. On ALL ROADS LEAD HOME, he delivers seven tracks with the hunger of someone who has nine months of rent due.

The production ties everything together. You get drill foundations layered with mafioso undertones, flashes of Afro rhythm, touches of trap, and bass that feels ready to argue with your speakers. The overall tone is dark and focused, with no interest in sounding lighthearted.

Vocally, he stays locked in. Even while expanding his subject matter, from ambition to street tension, he sounds calculated and relentless. His bars stack quickly, almost like he’s pushing himself to the limit, but he keeps control.

My one issue is growth. The project doesn’t stretch his sound much, and if you’re not already invested, it can feel repetitive. At the end of the day, though, it’s a teaser and it feels like one 100%.
