Aitch drops HUGE hints that new music is on the way 👀
We need this now please
Last updated 28th Jan 2022
Here at KISS HQ, we’ve been waiting very patiently for Aitch to gift us some new music and possibly an album, so you could only imagine our eyes when we saw snaps of the Manchester lad riding a HORSE (yep, really) on Brighton beach with fellow rapper ArrDee.
Brighton-born ArrDee, who has been compared to Aitch (they look a little similar, right?), were both spotted filming a potential music video in Peacehaven.
Despite the seaside location, no expense was spared as a Mercedes G Wagon was spotted on set and a Ford Ranger Raptor, as well as a couple of horses.
Aitch then fuelled rumours even more when he posted three snaps of himself: one on a horse, one where he’s wearing a cosy blue jumper and then a beautiful snap of the seaside.
He captioned the photos: ‘Adeola wanna roll with R kid 🤷♂️’
He’s also deleted every single Instagram photo on his grid, a tell tale sign that he could be ready to start a new musical chapter.
ArrDee has followed suit, deleting all his Instagram posts and sharing similar photos with the caption: ' just a geeza on a horse you get meh 🐎…(sic)'
Fans were understandably sent into meltdown at the possiblty of new material and a collaboration with ArrDee, with one commenting: ‘I think ardee and aitch are up to sumtin. (sic)’
Another wrote: ‘aitch and ardee horsin around (sic).’
On the topic of his much-anticipated album, Aitch recently took to social media to explain that he had been ‘feeling a bit down the past couple of months’.
In a post on his Instagram story, he told fans: ‘Apologies for the lack of dropping music. Been feeling a bit down the past couple months 🙃.
‘But nevertheless I been working and I’m fully charged up, made some of the best music I’ve ever made in my life. Straight from the heart. Every situation I’ve ever been thru explained in the fullest detail. Can’t wait for you lot to hear it. Love all of you that have been supporting me over the years I appreciate you ❤️.
‘It’s time for the next chapter…’
We are buzzing for this!

So yeah big up everyone."
