London’s acclaimed “Princess of Drill,” TeeZandos, is back with a bang in 2025, releasing her highly anticipated new single, “Old Me.” Following a series of viral TikToks, TeeZandos continues to solidify her position as one of the UK’s leading Drill artists. With fearless energy, unapologetic bars, and an unrelenting drive, “Old Me” is a fierce declaration of her dominance in a predominantly male space, showcasing her distinctive sound and undeniable talent.
TeeZandos has gained widespread recognition for her razor-sharp lyricism and commanding presence. With support from industry heavyweights such as Kenny Allstar, Tiffany Calver, Snoochie Shy, and Fumez The Engineer, her success speaks for itself. Her Plugged In session, which garnered over 10 million views, further amplified her status as a drill force to be reckoned.
In “Old Me,” TeeZandos’ ferocious flow takes center stage, riding a hard-hitting, bass-heavy production from the talented Carns Hill [Headie One, K-Trap, Kwengface, 67] and Jay Cactus [Giggs, French The Kid, Kwengface]. The track offers a bold commentary on the fake support and pressures of fame, with TeeZandos confidently stating, “I look in the mirror and I look at real / I ain’t out here like them, so I don’t know how the fake sh*t feels.” The high-energy single serves as a testament to TeeZandos’ raw, no-holds-barred approach to Drill music, setting the tone for what’s to come in 2025.
The accompanying music video, directed by Kaylum Dennis [Loski, Aitch, Potter Payper, Marnz Malone], perfectly complements the track’s energy. Shot in various iconic London locations, the video amplifies the track’s raw intensity, providing a visual experience that mirrors TeeZandos’ unapologetic spirit.
TeeZandos, a proud East Londoner with Caribbean roots, has always been a fierce storyteller. Discovering her passion for rap as a child, she joined GB Records at 14, diving deep into Drill and using her personal experiences to authentically shape her music. Her breakthrough came in 2019 with Need Focus, which launched her into the limelight, followed by the viral success of Highlander, which landed on FADER’s “10 Best New Rap Songs” list. Since then, TeeZandos has continued to expand her influence, collaborating with the likes of Backroad Gee, Fizzler, and Isong.
Having electrified platforms like Tim & Barry, Mad About Bars, and Daily Duppy, TeeZandos’ unforgettable Plugged Inn session with Fumez The Engineer proved her staying power in the Drill scene. Nominated for Best Drill Act at the 2023 MOBO Awards, she is now preparing to redefine the genre even further.
Now 22, TeeZandos is ready to take 2025 by storm with “Old Me.” Her relentless ambition, dynamic energy, and unmatched lyricism promise an exciting year ahead, as she continues to reshape the landscape of UK Drill and beyond.
