UK hip-hop freestyle recounts the dangers of betting and alcohol in a “deeply personal” track

The Nottingham based pen-warrior Jah Digga has dropped a mind-blowing freestyle — Addictions.

Featuring stratospheric flows that document the hidden perils and urges of vice, it’s attracting significant attention. The song gained momentum when Capital Xtra’s DJ Semtex shared the fresh track.

What Addiction Sounds Like

Digga hits the microphone accelerator, delineating an important socially conscious narrative of compulsion in the modern world.

Charging into the track with raw energy, unadulterated bars push frank swings of the pen on a work that hits close to home. In a press release, the rapper explains it “explores the dark pull of sex, gambling, and alcohol.”

Through string instrumentation and poignant composition, there’s a demure yet fitting substance in its execution. It echoes a call for help—one representing the voiceless across Britain.

Thanks to social media, credit debt and escapism is a growing concern, and this song underscores its dangers.

Lamenting choices made over haunting samples, it summarises an unpleasant system rife with desire and betting outlets in an ultra-capitalistic world.

Final Thoughts

Taking the listener on a visceral journey through candid pain and sorrow, it’s coarse and unfiltered from design.

This construct gives it an edge to recount a story of denial, explained through the lens of an SOS. By refusing to beautify a destructive lifestyle—one encouraged by high-profile personalities—it reveals how and why these stories persist by the thousands.

Digga cuts the fluff, delivering a tale of wretched heartbreak that touches reality in a way few can. In a world saturated with sonically similar, plastic music, it’s a comfort to know UK hip-hop remains stronger than ever.

How to Stream

The song is available exclusively via Bandcamp on a “name your price” basis.
