[3] Though it was originally released without a label, [4] its chart performance led to him being signed by Island Records through Universal Music Group [5] and appeared at Wireless festival in 2019. [6] It was included in a number of publications "best of 2018" lists, including The Guardian , [7] Mixmag , [8] and Complex . [9] In March 2019, "Homerton B" became the first UK drill track to be certified Silver by the BPI. [10] Follow up tracks "Throwback", "Meat" and "Leave Dat Trap", the latter featuring AJ Tracey, have accumulated over 5 million views. [11]

In 2017, aged 17, Lena was cleared of hiding a 4 mm revolver and ammunition under his bed after claiming the gun was foisted upon him by a stranger. [20] More recently Lena was cleared of murdering Steve Narvaez-Jara, 20, at a house party near Old Street, Islington, London in the early hours of 1 January 2018. [21] Speaking to the Guardian in 2018, Lena complained that the drill scene – long the subject of criticism in the media – was being unfairly attacked. "They don't understand the reality," he said. "It's not about the music, it's about what's behind the music. You can't blame the music, or say you're giving a helping hand with no aid. They're pointing the finger at us but forgetting there's three fingers pointing back." [22]
