4 Mar 2025 – London Fred x PBM Stream: Fred again.. drops by PlaqueBoyMax’s “In The Booth – Day 2” stream and sketches a 16-bar loop built around a sample of Doechii & Rico Nasty’s “Swamp Bitches.” Viewers simply dub it “the Doechii song.”Day-one viewers feel ownership, clips explode on TikTok and Reddit. We run a clipping campaign that generates 20m+ views inside a week
Mar → early Jun - Skepta x PBM + Athens: Skepta appears on Max’s stream; Max phones Fred live and asks for the beat, clearing the path for Skepta’s verse. Fred keeps revisiting the loop during solo Twitch sessions and at a club while he was in Athens, slowly adding drums, bass bursts and a halftime switch.Months-long breadcrumb trail sustains intrigue until the official rollout.
Mid-May (off-stream): Skepta records his final verse in a London studio; low-fi leaks surface in Max’s Discord
17 Jun 2025 – New York: Four-hour Twitch “release party”: Skepta appears and performs his pre-recorded verse live. We built anticipation that an surprise show with limited tickets was coming for hours, keeping fans on the edge of their computer screens for the moment. The stream ends with a surprise pop-up rave announcement at Brooklyn Paramount.Seamless screen-to-street baton-pass: 41k peak viewers and 2,700 in-person ticket-holders (with 250k+ people in the queue) create massive social proof.
