West London’s own Handles TDNB is proving that hustle pays off. His new single “The Style Of Life” has climbed to #2 on the iTunes UK Hip-Hop/Rap Pre-Order Chart and reached #6 on the iTunes UK Songs Chart, outperforming household names like Central Cee and Will Smith.
This powerful momentum comes ahead of his new EP Pressure on the Curb, a project that blends raw lyricism, cultural pride, and street-level storytelling — all independently produced, with no label backing.
A Voice from the Curb: Handles TDNB’s Story
Handles TDNB isn’t your average rapper. His story is grounded in lived experience — from selling over 100,000 CDs hand-to-hand to performing at massive venues like Wembley SSE Arena, Jazz Café Camden, and SOBs NYC.
With deep roots in Grenadian culture and the vibrant energy of Notting Hill Carnival, Handles brings a unique fusion of style, authenticity, and sound. His music reflects the beauty and brutality of growing up in London’s inner-city streets — and his rise is entirely self-made.
“Style is survival. This project shows the pressure — and the shine — of the curb.” — Handles TDNB
