UK rap riser Kasst 8 has released his much-anticipated new single, They’re Called 110s, a raw, street-level narrative that blends sharp lyricism with icy, authentic production.
The title itself, “They’re Called 110s,” nods to the British slang for Nike Air Max 110 trainers, long a cultural staple in certain UK communities (Liverpool) and a symbol of identity, pride, and sometimes status. Kasst 8 uses the trainers as a metaphor, threading them through verses about heritage, hustle, and the codes of the streets. The production mirrors the track’s themes, its’ tight with skittering hi-hats over deep 808 pulses, leaving space for his vocals to cut through with precision.
The single arrives after weeks of calculated buildup. Kasst 8 teased snippets on Instagram Stories and TikTok, accompanied by gritty behind-the-scenes clips from the studio and glimpses of life in his neighborhood.
