IYKZ (pronounced Ikes) follows up the success of previous single "They Know (Wan Mo)" with another street anthem in "KILO". Over rattling trap drums and blaring sirens, where the previous borrowed from the current afro-fusion wave, "KILO" carries more of a street edge—detailing IYKZ's rise to date.

"It's the ultimate underdog anthem," the rapper tells Complex. "Against all odds, I've made something of myself with the aim to go back and show everyone what I've become." This also serves as the qualifier in shooting the video on IYKZ's old block: Hackney's Kings Crescent Estate. From barber shop to tattoo parlour, IYKZ is bringing his world to you via these Ashleigh Jade-directed visuals.
