Handles TDNB Secures Top iTunes Hip-Hop Rankings Ahead of ‘Pressure on the Curb’ EP Launch

West London’s own Handles TDNB is making significant waves in the hip-hop scene, with his lead single “The Style Of Life” achieving a remarkable #2 position on the iTunes UK Hip-Hop/Rap Pre-Order Chart and climbing to #6 on the iTunes UK Hip-Hop/Rap Songs Chart. This independent success story is a powerful testament to the artist’s growing influence and sets a robust momentum for the imminent launch of his highly anticipated EP, ‘Pressure on the Curb,’ slated for release on July 18, 2025.

A Cinematic Glimpse into London’s Inner City

The forthcoming EP, ‘Pressure on the Curb,’ has been unveiled as a gritty, cinematic project that aims to capture the raw essence of life on London’s inner-city frontlines. Handles TDNB promises a rich sonic tapestry, expertly blending street poetry, the infectious Caribbean rhythm, and a distinctively fashion-forward aesthetic. This multifaceted approach is expected to resonate deeply with listeners, offering a narrative that is both authentic and stylistically innovative.

The strategic charting of “The Style Of Life” ahead of the EP’s release underscores the significant buzz surrounding Handles TDNB. Achieving such high positions on the iTunes charts, especially within the competitive Hip-Hop/Rap categories, highlights the dedicated fanbase and the widespread appeal of his music. This independent achievement is particularly noteworthy, showcasing the artist’s ability to connect directly with his audience without the backing of major label machinery.

A Foundation Built on Hard Work and Dedication

Handles TDNB’s journey to this point is marked by a remarkable commitment to his craft and a proven track record of engaging directly with his supporters. His career includes an impressive feat of selling over 100,000 CDs hand-to-hand, a tangible demonstration of his grassroots connection and entrepreneurial spirit within the music industry. This hands-on approach has cultivated a loyal following and a deep understanding of his audience.

Furthermore, his performance credentials speak volumes about his capabilities as a live artist. Handles TDNB has graced the stages of esteemed venues such as the Wembley SSE Arena and the iconic SOBs NYC. These high-profile performances have not only honed his stage presence but have also exposed his unique sound and compelling artistry to a broader, international audience, solidifying his reputation as a formidable talent in the hip-hop music landscape.

Anticipation Builds for ‘Pressure on the Curb’

The success of “The Style Of Life” serves as a powerful prelude to ‘Pressure on the Curb.’ The EP’s concept, rooted in the visceral experiences of urban life, combined with Handles TDNB’s proven ability to deliver potent lyrical content and innovative soundscapes, has generated considerable anticipation. The blend of street poetry and Caribbean rhythms, infused with a distinctive fashion sensibility, suggests an EP that is not only musically compelling but also culturally relevant and visually evocative.

Fans and critics alike are keenly awaiting the full release, eager to experience the depth and narrative breadth that ‘Pressure on the Curb’ promises. The EP’s July 18, 2025 release date is now a focal point for the hip-hop community, eager to see how Handles TDNB builds upon the success of his lead single and continues to push the boundaries of contemporary music.

The consistent performance in the iTunes charts is a clear indicator that Handles TDNB is an artist on the rise, poised to make a significant impact with his upcoming project. His journey, characterized by relentless independent effort and authentic connection with his fans, sets a compelling headline for the future of his career in the hip-hop genre.
