Fred again.. is taking a metaphorical victory lap with the just released “Victory Lap Two” edit of his June track, “Victory Lap.”
Out today (July 9), the remix features a new verse from Denzel Curry, who makes a fierce entry onto the track with rhymes about money, his mission and turning heads “like The Exorcist.” Curry joins the tracks original guests Skepta and New Jersey-born rapper/producer streamer PlaqueBoyMax. Listen to “Victory Lap Two” below.
“Victory Lap” was originally released on June 17 via an extended livestream from New York with Fred again.. and Skepta that was followed by a much-hyped pop-up show that sold out the Brooklyn Paramount and streamed to fans online via Twitch. The song marked Fred’s first new music of 2025.
In a post announcing the remix, the artist born Fred Gibson wrote “Victory lappeddddd, denzel curry, the people spoke, and obviii we agreed, and then denzel spoke, and its sorta hard to speak after that,Victory Lap Two out today featuring big ultra himself.” Fred also shared an Instagram story with video of Curry recording his verse.
In a post from last week, Fred also told the story of how the original track came to be, from production of the drums to Skepta getting on the track “to skepta play[ing] it at Glastonbury. with 4 hours notice. oh man this s–t was just a joy. had to leave glasto for rehearsals at 5, i made a festival special edit in the car at like 7, sent skep an mp3, got home at 8.30, in time to make a cup of tea and switch on iplayer at 9 to watch skep close his set with it AREUCRAZY it never goes like that. one of the most satisfying moments ive had in music genuinely.”
Fred again.. is currently on tour in Asia, with dates in Bali, Singapore, Thailand, South Korea and Japan through the end of July.
