Songer isn’t interested in playing industry games, and his track “4 THE RECORD!” proves it. Taken from his album WHAT IF I SAY NO?, the 2-minute-and-23-second cut is a sharp, fast-paced statement that cuts right through the usual PR fluff.
If you’ve been tracking the UK rap scene, you already know Songer doesn’t miss when it comes to writing his own bars. On this track, he leans heavily into that reality, calling out ghostwriting culture and fake industry personas with lines like, “I make hit records that hit new records. I wrote those records ’cause they’re my records.”

Where It Fits: Sitting right in the middle of WHAT IF I SAY NO?, “4 THE RECORD!” acts as a quick adrenaline shot. It balances the deeper, more reflective storytelling found elsewhere on the project with pure, unadulterated bravado.

Why It’s Resonating: Fans on TikTok and streaming platforms have gravitated toward the track’s raw honesty. In a climate where so many artists hide behind manufactured images, Songer sounds completely liberated just speaking his mind over a massive beat.
