Asco marks 10 years of 'Straight Drop' with ‘Straight Drop X6’

East London heavyweight Asco is back in familiar territory, delivering ‘Straight Drop X6’, the latest chapter in one of UK rap’s most respected freestyle-style series. More than just another release, this drop marks a key moment in a legacy that has helped define Asco’s standing in the culture.

Now six instalments deep, the 'Straight Drop' series has become synonymous with raw lyricism, sharp delivery and no-frills rap excellence. On ‘Straight Drop X6’, Asco once again reminds listeners why he’s held in such high regard, gliding over the production with calculated precision and the calm confidence of an artist who knows exactly who he is.

Following a strong 2025 run, including the well-received project ‘Perfect Timing’, Asco is clearly carrying momentum into the new year. There’s a noticeable evolution between this latest release and ‘Straight Drop X5’, which arrived back in December 2024. With another year of growth behind him, ‘X6’ reflects sharper execution, refined energy and an even stronger sense of command.

Adding extra weight to the release, 2026 officially marks 10 years since Asco dropped the very first 'Straight Drop'. A full decade on, he’s still raising the bar, staying consistent and proving longevity in a scene that’s constantly evolving.
