Every once in a while, a song arrives that feels less like entertainment and more like a message the world needs to hear. That’s exactly what’s happening right now with Anthony Williams, the British-Filipino Christian rapper making waves in the UK hip-hop scene. His brand-new single “Pawn” is officially scheduled to drop on all major platforms October 10, 2025—but Melodic Playground Radio has the honor of being the first station in the world to play it.
For our listeners, this means you don’t have to wait. “Pawn” is already in daily rotation, sending its powerful message of faith, peace, and resilience across the airwaves. And honestly, in times like these—when the world can feel heavier by the day—this is exactly the kind of music we need to breathe life into the moment.
If you haven’t yet discovered Anthony Williams, now is the time. Based in London and proud of his British-Filipino roots, Williams has been steadily building a reputation for heartfelt hip-hop that doesn’t just move your head—it moves your spirit. His songs lean heavily on themes of faith, redemption, and perseverance, blending raw personal stories with beats that keep listeners hooked.
Williams first made waves with his EP TMLB (The Message, The Life, The Blessing), a project that introduced fans to his layered storytelling and faith-driven focus. Tracks like “Loyalty,” “Long Way,” and “Manila” resonated in indie and Christian hip-hop circles, earning chart placements on UK Hip & Rap iTunes as well as recognition from the DRT Global Airplay charts. Add to that nominations at the TAA and BADMA Awards, and it’s clear this is an artist whose star is only rising higher.
“Pawn” isn’t just another single—it’s a continuation of Williams’ mission to use music as ministry. The title itself suggests humility, sacrifice, and strategy, echoing the reality of life where sometimes we feel like small pieces in a larger game. But through his lyrics, Williams flips that perspective, reminding us that even pawns have power and purpose when faith leads the way.
The song’s tone is reflective yet uplifting, tackling heavy truths without losing sight of hope. That balance is exactly what makes Anthony Williams’ work stand out—he doesn’t shy away from pain, but he never leaves you without a light to follow.
