With Pressure on the Curb, Handles TDNB reflects on hustle, heritage, and sound shaped by London streets.
Handles TDNB shares his most direct body of work to date with Pressure on the Curb, releasing July 18, 2025, featuring the lead single “The Style Of Life” available with pre-orders beginning June 21.
This new EP carries the energy of London’s streets, layered with Caribbean rhythm and stylized delivery. Handles brings raw poetry to the forefront while staying true to his creative roots. “Style is survival. This project shows the pressure — and the shine — of the curb,” he explains.
From pirate radio beginnings to rap battles in NYC, Handles has built an undeniable presence. His performances — including O2 Indigo with Ace Hood and opening sets for Skepta — have been backed by consistent output, including 3 million Spotify streams and high-profile editorial features.
The EP’s narrative strength lies in its honest voice. It’s not just about hardship; it’s about navigating identity, pushing boundaries, and owning every phase of the journey. Collaborations with Yo Yo Honey Singh and sold-out global shows highlight just how far Handles’ story travels.
Pressure on the Curb doesn’t ask for approval — it demands attention.
