The Agenda: Best of 2025
24/7, 365, we deliver you the tracks and artists setting The Agenda. This year, that meant new music and milestones for the superstar hip-hop fans the world over know as Central Cee. The West London MC built on the buzz he garnered in 2024 by releasing his studio debut <i>CAN’T RUSH GREATNESS</i> in January, setting the table for a year in which he would break streaming records, go on to acquire yet a third Best Male Act award at the MOBOs and take a victory lap in the form of a sold-out Apple Music Live show at London’s famed O2 Arena. But you needn’t take our word for Cee’s meteoric arrival. Ask Skepta, Dave, Asake or even Lil Baby, all of whom made time to pop out at his O2 show. In a big year for intra-diaspora collaboration, Central Cee was the MC who set The Agenda in 2025.
