His first line, “Ever since I stepped on the scene — Pressure,” captures and holds the reader’s attention while conveying a sense of ease and ambition. It’s a celebration and a flex as he displays a clever and self-assured personality by displaying style snatches (“Put Versace draws on… brush my teeth, put my grill in”) and name-dropping cultural references (“Hotboy like I’m Wheezy”).

He moves fluidly between bars and punchlines with a tight, rhythmic flow. It’s addictive without sounding overdone, thanks to a lively hook and lighthearted cadence that lock into the beat.

It’s simple to see this doing well on underground club sets, SoundCloud, and TikTok snippets. With pride in his heritage and a desire to advance, he is a grounded voice that is rising quickly.,
DOHMZ, a Croydon native, combines his Nigerian roots and London upbringing to create a sound that strikes a balance between melodic flair and street credibility. He gained early recognition in the UK rap underground with his debut single, “G Sht”*, which showcased his freestyling origins and themes of loyalty. He broadens that story with “Pressure,” establishing himself as a summer standout who is self-assured but intimate and focused.
