Reuben Aziz links with Backroad Gee for ‘Me and Me’
Singer-rapper Reuben Aziz is making waves once again with his latest single, me & me, featuring UK rap heavyweight Backroad Gee. Entering a fresh phase in his career, Reuben continues to defy genre expectations, working closely with rising producer nathan—best known for his work on Central Cee and Nemzzz’s DILEMMA.
At just 21, Reuben brings raw honesty to his lyrics, reflecting on a time of isolation and introspection. His vulnerability pairs seamlessly with Backroad Gee’s commanding presence, making the collaboration a powerful moment in UK rap. Speaking on the track, Reuben explains: “The lyrics and sonic felt timeless from when I first began working on the song in 2024. I decided to push the sound forward, and now it feels like a nice middle ground between R&B and rap. To finish the track, we felt like we needed a rap verse—Backroad loved the song, and the rest is history.”
Hailed by HUNGER as a leading voice in a new wave of atmospheric UK R&B, Reuben Aziz is equally determined to carve his place in the rap scene. His ability to seamlessly blend the two worlds sets him apart, offering a sonic space that echoes influences ranging from Ed Sheeran’s melodic sensibilities to Skepta’s gritty delivery. Whether crafting music in his DIY bedroom studio setup or collaborating with the likes of Kairo Keys, Backroad Gee, and Unknown T, Reuben is committed to refining his artistry.
His debut project, how did we end up here (2024), transformed early demos into fully realized tracks, garnering recognition from COLORS, HUNGER, and Clash. With each release, Reuben aligns his evolving artistry with his personal growth, presenting himself as an artist who is relaxed, confident, and laser-focused on the next chapter.
Me & me serves as a testament to his eclectic influences, sitting comfortably between Drake’s More Life and Florida’s rising star, Bossman Dlow. Recent nods from AntsLive and a placement in Complex’s Ones to Watch 2025 list further cement his status as a frontrunner in the UK’s contemporary music landscape. With his sights set on the future, Reuben Aziz is gearing up for his strongest releases yet—ones that will shape his wider legacy in British music.
