Central Cee shared the tracklist for his long-awaited entry album “Can’t Rush Greatness” on Tuesday (Jan. 21), days ahead of its release through CC4L and Columbia Records.

The 17-track LP highlights already released singles “BAND4BAND,” featuring Lil Baby, “Gen Z Luv” and “GBP,” featuring 21 Savage. “BAND4BAND” hit No. 1 on the U.K. Hip-Hop and R&B Singles chart and peaked No. 3 on the U.K. Singles chart. Within the U.S., the collab reached No. 2 on Rhythmic Airplay, No. 6 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and No. 18 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Can’t Rush Greatness will feature more collabs with Young Miko (“Gata”), Dave (“CRG”), Lil Durk (“Truth in the Lies”) and Skepta (“Ten”). Cench and Dave’s track will arrive two years after their joint four-track EP Split Decision, which included the summer hit “Sprinter” that became the longest-running No. 1 rap song in the U.K. with its 10-week reign. “Sprinter” also reached the top 10 of the Billboard Global 200 make a big appearance collection.

“With the mixtapes, I was living in [the same] house I grew up in,” Cench said in his Dazed cover story last fall. “Now we’ve elevated, we’re actually musicians. There were times it was hard to say man’s a musician. I was just a guy that [went into the] studio [sometimes]. Now, I’m an artist.”
