Croydon’s own Argz Aliko is back with a new single, Goalhangers, set to release on the 6th of June, 2025. This UK Rap, UK Drill, and Hoodtrap banger is a clever metaphor that tackles the gritty realities of industry fake friendships, wrapped in the language of football, a nod to Argz Aliko’s lifelong passion for the sport. With his signature blend of street rap and R&B, Argz Aliko delivers a track full of authenticity, cementing his place as one of the UK’s most exciting rising talents.
Inspired by everyday life, Goalhangers take aim at those who coast on others’ hard work, much like a football player lingering near the goalpost to claim an easy score. The concept struck Argz Aliko during a 5K treadmill run, where the lyrics flowed naturally, fueled by his love for the game. Moving fast to capture the moment, he raced home from the gym and laid down the track in his home studio in just three hours. The result is raw, concise, and assertive, showcasing his ability to weave intricate flows with real-world commentary.
Argz Aliko delivers a gripping and sharply executed anthem with Goalhangers, pushing the boundaries of UK rap through a vivid blend of hard truths and creative storytelling. Laced with finesse and authenticity, the track showcases his remarkable ability to turn real-life frustrations into captivating music without ever sounding forced. His bars are fluid yet focused, layered over a menacing drill-influenced beat that keeps the energy relentless. There’s a raw urgency in his voice that commands attention, while his wordplay adds depth without losing street appeal. With Goalhangers, Argz doesn’t just prove his talent—he elevates it, carving a distinct lane that few can match.
Starting at age 11, rapping in the playground with friends, Argz Aliko has grown into a versatile artist whose music resonates with authenticity. His recent single Five Percent marked a high point in his career, and his knack for catching the attention of icons like Pharrell Williams, a musical idol from his youth, proves his potential to go global.
