Index Dex, a South African rapper based in London, returns with a vengeance with his new single, "Plan," which exemplifies his unwavering hustle. While most rappers spit bars, Dex serves high-octane performances, razor-sharp flows, and a laser-focused brand. Produced by legendary bounce-maker OD Hunte, Plan fuses hard-hitting beats and Dex’s fierce delivery into a battle cry for those who move with a mission.
From the first bass-heavy drop, Plan has you by the intensity. “Plan” throbs with urgency, borrowing sonic colors from heavyweight hip-hop pioneers like Bone Crusher, Ace Hood, and Lil Jon but keeping the sound defiantly Dex. His flow is unyielding, his lyrics merciless, and his zeal unmatched. “Plan” is about my mindset being persistent, unapologetic, and always focusing on the bigger picture,” Dex explains.
Dex’s rise from South Africa to the UK has been less than conventional. His love for hip-hop was sparked by a Mobb Deep album given to him by his older brother, which led him to the epicenter of the London music scene, where he cut his teeth, making colleagues of the grime forefathers Roll Deep and working with top producers like Andy Whitmore and DJ Hopestar.
With Plan already setting the stage, Dex isn’t slowing down. His upcoming single, VANS, which drops in May, is a tribute to the iconic sneaker brand he has already performed in front of the owner. If Plan is any measure, this year has been the year of Index Dex. Crank it up, and get with the Plan.
