Lap 5 is the second studio album by
British hip hop duo
D-Block Europe, self-released on 23 September 2022. In addition to featuring members Dirtbike LB and
Young Adz on specific tracks, it features guest appearances from Ghost Killer Track and
Ed Sheeran, as well as vocals from
Burna Boy.[1] The album debuted at number two on the
UK Albums Chart and number one on the
UK R&B Albums Chart. It was supported with five singles: "Black Beatles", "Elegant & Gang", "
Fantasy", "Man in the Mirror" and "4 the Win", which all peaked in the top 50 of the
UK Singles Chart.[2] The album was certified gold by the
British Phonographic Industry (BPI).
Kyann-Sian Williams of NME called the album "intriguing but uneven" but one on which the duo "show precisely why their formula works, and offer room for growth". Williams found that the duo "are truly in their stride when they can blend the more traditional hip-hop styles with suave melodies".[3]
