Adjei grew up on the "infamous" Broadwater Farm housing estate in Tottenham. He is of Ghanaian origin. His moniker derives from a childhood nickname due to his head's resemblance to a 50p coin. He first began rapping in his early teens, though only began focusing on it after his first release from prison.
He began releasing music in the early 2010s under the name Headz, including as part of a group named Star Gang. In 2014 he released his only mixtape under that alias, titled "Headz or Tails." Also part of Star Gang was fellow Tottenham rapper RV - he and Headie One became frequent collaborators, including co-releasing the mixtapes Sticks & Stones (2016) and Drillers x Trappers (2017). Together they formed part of OFB, a drill crew based in the Broadwater Farm estate.
In February 2018, he released his next solo mixtape as Headie One, titled The One. This included "Know Better" with RV, which became an "underground hit". In May he was featured on "Missing", a Belly Squad track that peaked at number 84 on the UK Singles Chart. This was followed by another solo mixtape, The One Two, in June 2018, which entered the UK Albums Chart at number 32.
In January 2019, his single "18HUNNA", featuring Dave, entered the UK chart at number 6 - the highest a UK drill artist has ever charted. In March he released his sixth mixtape, and third with RV, Drillers x Trappers II. It entered the UK Albums Chart at number 21. "Match Day", the first single from the mixtape, entered the Singles Chart at number 86. On 25th July 2019, Headie One released the official YouTube video for his 'Rubbery Bandz' single.

Swerve
Headie One Lyrics
(Rymez)
(Yo, ADP on this boy)
Don too cold, I like clothes
He like zoots, he like Benz
Always on road in a next man's ends
Tryna catch a paigon slippin'
Just to hit him with a skeng and that's mad
Cah he got a good girl and she badder than bad
Every man wan' beat but she ain't like that
Face too pretty but she got a little back
But the nigga ain't ready for a Don like that
Pull up, reverse, pull up, reverse
Pull up, reverse, back it up
Pull up, reverse, man do it up the curb
All now when I see X5's, man swerve
I told shawty I don't trap, man rap
But try know I been a bad boy from birth
She loves jewels, she wants shoes
That's gonna match that Prada purse
All now it's eighteen O's of dirt
All now I get a text from Sandra first
Hop in my foreign and I swerve (skrrt, swerve)
I always wanted to stuff my money, made me worse (yeah)
Heard you're tryna find out what I'm worth (yeah, ah)
Every time pull up, I make sure that they feelings hurt (bitch)
I just put a bachelor condo on my wrist, yeah (on my wrist, yeah)
Can't live like this, gotta ride 'round with a stick, yeah (pew, pew, pew)
Catch me lackin', shoot me in the head, I ain't givin' up shit, yeah
On the road for ten years, mans ain't take no diss, yeah (yeah)
She stylish and want a man that's stylish
Walk with five in my jean, no Wyclef
Show that show, that's light work
Still, I can't get a bly from Trident
She wanna step and eat steak and lobster
I'm tryna make her cook steamed and fried fish
She likes sex and I like it too
Still make her mind colourful
I don't want my man on the road no more
I don't wanna do M, fly O no more
Come home and come show me that
Who gonna answer when the fiends dem call?
Who's gonna answer when the Feds dem knock?
Beatin' down doors and you're doing up spots
I know feds on me cah I got two strikes, yeah
I'm scared if they hit it with a third, I'm gone
It loves me, I gotta love it back
Course I do, 'cause it brought me back
I didn't trap, couldn't buy me a Gucci bag
So I bought me a cube of crack
Been in the trap for years
So you know that the gang ain't new to waps
Still tryna juggle this trap and rap
All of my fiends turn, facts
Hop in my foreign and I swerve (skrrt, swerve)
I always wanted to stuff my money, made me worse (yeah)
Heard you're tryna find out what I'm worth (yeah, ah)
Every time pull up, I make sure that they feelings hurt (bitch)
