With Krept growing up in Gipsy Hill and Konan growing up in Thornton Heath, they started in their neighbourhoods from an early age. As time went on krept and konan became friends outside of music and in due time realised we both had a musical talent in mc/rapping. It was then only a matter of time when they both came together to make a few songs for the fun of it. The songs had the streets going crazy, everybody had them on their phones, it is then when they realised their music potential. Unfortunately later down the line in 2007 konan went into incarceration for a whole year which had a major effect on their music path. Krept did not concentrate on music during konan’s incarceration, and at this point music was not in the picture for either of them. However in 2008 Konan was then released from jail and music was still not in the picture for either krept or konan.
A few weeks after konan’s release a friend of both krept and konan had a studio who occasionally invited them round to make tracks here and there. As these tracks were released their fanbase began to grow again it was then when they both decided to put more effort into the music. The two then started doing music videos, freestyle videos and releasing more tracks as time went on and the fanbase continued to grow. Both krept and konan then released a mixtape together called “Redrum” which was made due to high demand. At this point it was clear to everyone that krept and konan became a duo in the music scene, and at this moment all they were missing was a name. This is where Krept and konan both came to the decision of the name “Play Dirty”. They are now an official group which will be expanding in the future to more artists producers etc..

You know
I spy with my little eye (yes)
Something beginning with F (what?)
Fuckboys doing up net (fuckboys)
Talking real (real)
We're the last ones left (the last)
I said it with chest (you know)
I spy with my little eye (yes)
Something beginning with F (what?)
Fuckboys doing up net (fuckboys)
Talking real (real)
We're the last ones left (the last)
Suck your mudda (hh)
I said it with chest (you know) (play dirty)
We don't believe your raps
Keep thinking your Mr. Muscle
'Til you see the flash
You don't want bro turning up
Stolen car, burning clutch
I hid the mash in my aunties toilet
Panicking every time I heard it flush
Walahi
The line phone wern't EE (brrt, brrt)
Bought two O's and got a Q free
It was TT (ten out of ten)
Sending me vids on snap
Her boyfriend told her delete me (haha)
Last week she saw me in tape
Now she wants see D (nasty)
Roll up my sleeve and I've got 'em all watching
Nsg with the watches, yeah, I got options (jheeze)
All that talk on the socials, real life, they don't want problems (pussies)
How many times have my bredrin left flat like he works in Foxtons
Live in the flesh, I don't know about typing or doing no diss (no, I don't)
Don't be fooled by the shit they do in their vid's
Harvey Nicks, I'm doing a quid
Probably wear that shit on a glide, ruin the drip (ugh)
Get that press out, ruin a brick
Remix one, put two on the strip
Two man, two fuck off coats
It's very clear what I'm doing with Mish (mash)
Two pack ting, man do it with twins
Difference is I do it to win
I just made her top and she said we are doing a ting (ugh)
Can't sleep on a vio' so any time we riss it (rise it)
Score on the opp boys then swear blind we didn't
Big Mac with fries that ain't no Fish-O-Filet (no)
Who's that man? Spin it, drill it, miss it, I'm livid (pissed)
I spy with my little eye (yes)
Something beginning with F (what?)
Fuckboys doing up net (fuckboys)
Talking real (real)
We're the last ones left (the last)

Suck your mudda (ha)

If I come with Loony (tunes) then you know mans angle (you know)
Buss mans head with a Hennessy bottle or he might Jack Daniel (evil)
Had some of your favourite rappers baby mothers on scandals
Chupa a tu mama, that's suck your mum in Español (haha)
All my bros never had a pot to piss in (facts)
But that don't mean they don't have a pot to whip in (whip)
You ain't on piss and your bredrin isn't (nah)
I highly doubt that Louis got a western in it (nah)
Them man spend money on hoes us man spend money on homes (homes)
Bro on so much cheffing nearly gave him a job at Crepes and Cones
On the same line up but we got different dough (It's different)
Ask Craig, just turned down a hundred and fifty racks for the show (you know)
I was in the T with a pack tryna make sure I double that T (TT)
Spent like twenty-eight days on the M non stop
Tryna make sure that I double that re' (simple)
Got like three hundred numbers on my Lyca
My fiends won't ring when I double that E (EE)
Me and bro just got a new fuckrey one, won't stop 'till we double that lead (turn)
These skengs ain't coming that cheap so I make sure I scrape that bowl
They think I'm Superman in my spot so I'm calling that strip Cape Cove (turn, ay)
Me and bro break bread, same loaf, when I done two works in a week, same coat
Got plans for my future and it ain't sold, so I burned it all, make sure the case closed
Now these Feds been when I ain't home, I was on the streets really playing Saints Row
One level on the track, I didn't do cane rows, I was really making sure all this green goes
So I have no days off, it went in hard but I got it in soft
These pigs really put me on the wing, had me rolling with snooker balls and sock
I spy with my little eye (yes)
Something beginning with F (what?)
Fuckboys doing up net (fuckboys)
Talking real (real)
We're the last ones left (the last)
Suck your mudda (ha)
I said it with chest (you know)

The song "I Spy" by Krept & Konan, Headie One, and K-Trap begins with BKay seemingly introducing the beginning of the song, before the chorus kicks in. The chorus is a call-out to those who talk big on social media but don't back it up in real life. The F-word is used as a placeholder for what the group really wants to say to these "fuckboys", and the ad libs in the background illustrate the frustration that the artists feel towards these individuals. The chorus repeats twice with slight variations, but the message is the same: these artists are the last ones left, and anyone who disagrees can "suck their mudda".
The first verse is delivered by K-Trap, who talks about the dangers of being involved in illegal activities. He mentions hiding weapons and drugs in his auntie's toilet, and even panicking whenever he hears the sound of it flushing, indicating the constant paranoia that comes with this lifestyle. He also mentions a stolen car with a burning clutch, highlighting the risks that come with using illegal means to acquire material possessions. Throughout the verse, K-Trap asserts himself as more than just a social media persona, and warns his enemies that they should not underestimate him.
The second verse is delivered by Headie One, who talks about his financial success and the sacrifices that come with it. He mentions his numerous phone numbers, and how his friends won't even call him unless they need drugs. He mentions the line "chupa a tu mama", which means "suck your mum" in Spanish, and uses it as a way to assert his dominance over his enemies. He also talks about his future plans and the fact that he does not plan on selling out, and calls out other rappers who do so for financial gain.
Overall, "I Spy" is an assertive track that seeks to call out those who talk tough on social media but do not back it up in real life. The song also highlights the risks and dangers that come with living a life of crime and the sacrifices that are necessary to achieve financial success.
