New Video: Deli Bricks - Deadlines ft. Blade Brown

Deli Bricks returns with the second video from his forthcoming, explosive mixtape ‘Finessin’. 

Having drop the first video ‘I Know’ featuring Yungen, a couple weeks back and receiving critical acclaim for it, Deli Bricks keeps the fire burning with the video to ‘Deadlines’, featuring one of UK's finest lyricists, Blade Brown.

A mixture of flows and bars from the two makes for a heavy combination of truthful storytelling on this trap beat.
