Fast-rising Birmingham rap artist Wohdee is stepping into 2026 with serious momentum, unveiling the official video for ‘No Behaviour (WYFL Riddim)’ — a track born from a viral car-seat freestyle recorded during a Boxing Day holiday in Jamaica.
What started as an off-the-cuff freestyle quickly took on a life of its own. Filmed casually from the passenger seat, Wohdee delivered sharp, effortless bars over the explosive ‘WYFL Riddim’ by Billboard-charting producer DJ Mac, whose production credits include Vybz Kartel, Skillibeng, Teejay and Shenseea. The clip spread rapidly across Instagram and TikTok, pulling in millions of views and putting Wohdee firmly on international radars.
The buzz eventually reached DJ Mac himself, sparking an online connection that soon turned into a real-world studio collaboration. The result is ‘No Behaviour (WYFL Riddim)’, a fully realised track that captures the exact energy that made the original freestyle explode — spontaneous, confident and unmistakably Wohdee.
A UK–Jamaica Crossover Done Right
With No Behaviour, Wohdee swerves away from the aggressive posturing often associated with UK drill, instead leaning into island rhythms, cool confidence and unbothered swagger. Her flow remains distinctly British, but she rides the riddim with enough swing to feel completely at home in a dancehall pocket — making the track feel like a genuine cultural crossover between Birmingham and Kingston.
The release arrives alongside a striking new video shot on location in Jamaica. Directed by BadGee, Ablo Savant and ShotByDeth — known for their work with Valiant, Prince Swanny and Jahmiel — the visuals perfectly match the song’s carefree energy, capturing both the pulse of the island and the confidence of an artist clearly entering a new chapter.
MOBO Recognition and Major 2026 Live Dates
The release of No Behaviour (WYFL Riddim) also lands during a huge moment in Wohdee’s career. The Birmingham star has just secured her first-ever MOBO Award nomination, earning a nod for Best Drill Act 2026 — a major milestone that underlines her rapid rise within UK rap.
Announced earlier this month, Wohdee joins a heavyweight nominees list featuring Little Simz, Olivia Dean, Central Cee, Skepta and PinkPantheress, alongside fellow rising talents Jim Legxacy, EsdeeKid and LeoStayTrill. Full details can be found via the official MOBO Awards website.
Live shows are also firmly on the horizon. Wohdee is set to headline stages at City Splash Festival this May and Sidewinder Malta in June, before embarking on a UK university tour in September — all while continuing to drop new music throughout the year.
