UK rapper Dappy hasn't missed this year. Whether he's serving as a feature or delivering massive collaborations that dominate the summer, he's spent a large portion of 2021 building the anticipation for a new project. Now, he's unveiled Fortune in its entirety. It's a 13-song effort that finds Dappy highlighting his songwriting alongside some big collaborations. Artists like Stefflon Don, Nafe Smallz, Backroad Gee, and Abra Cadabra, who appeared on the previously released single, "Bolo," all contribute to the tracklist. Fortune also includes both of Dappy's "Daily Duppy" freestyles with GRM Daily.
Fortune is a triumphant return for Dappy since his last studio album was released nearly nine years ago. With so many fresh faces and new acts in the rap game, he's proven that he's able to adapt to the new era of rap.
