AJ Tracey

Released: September 13, 2012

[Intro: New Order - True Faith]
Feel so extraordinary
Feel so extraordinary
Feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
Feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
Something's got a hold on me

[Verse]
Yo, my mum didn't raise no bastard
I used to go church but God never answered
I used to jam in Sutton's estate and then Bricky
Nowadays I'm around Grove getting plastered
That's why I don't listen to the teachers
Back in Holland Park, I used to piss on the teachers
Couple years later I'm getting pissed off the teachers
We're not the same darg, whole different creatures
I'm on the pitch while you're sitting in the bleachers
Zoning with my bruddas, it's all rap through the speakers
I don't wanna hear chat about progress
Know best, soon I'll be racking in the features

[Outro: New Order - True Faith]
Feel so extraordinary
Feel so extraordinary
Feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
Feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
Something's got a hold on me

AJ Tracey is a British rapper and grime MC. His dad’s a former rapper from Trinidad, and his mum is a Welsh former drum and bass DJ. Based in Ladbroke Grove, West London (although he was raised in the south just like FT and true say, his dad lived in Tottenham), AJ started making waves in the pirate radio scene in 2014, although his songs under the name Looney date back to 2011.

Speaking to GRM about his stage name, AJ

Basically when I used to shot, I couldn’t give my real name. I used to wear loads of Armani, so I called myself AJ. The Tracey comes from this guy called Stacey in my ends. Everyone used to be/is scared of him so I thought, if a man has a girl’s name and he’s still scaring people, the maybe I should try doing it so I can be THAT guy.
