No Hook - Intellectual

Trizzac gave himself the nickname Judas when he received hate for switching from being a Moscow17 affiliate to a member of Zone 2. The nickname comes from the ex-disciple in the Bible, who switched on Jesus to get him crucified. Judas' agreement to betray Jesus—and his following betrayal—appears in Matthew 26:

¹⁴ Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests, ¹⁵ And said unto them, “What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you?” And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver. ¹⁶ And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him.

⁴⁸ Now [Judas] gave them a sign, saying, “Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.” ⁴⁹ And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, “Hail, master”; and kissed him.

Trizzac also has a song entitled “Judas”, which confronted those throwing shade at him for switching sides.

Moscow17 later replied to this lyric in their “Mad About Bars”:

Charlie’s blob on pavement
How can a nigga be Judas?

HitSquad is a sub-collective of Zone 2 that consists of the older, more experienced members of Zone 2. Its members include PS, Trizzac, Kwengface, Savage Dsqueezo and Unrulybad.

“Kits” is a reference to “cats”, a slang term for drug addicts. This bar means that Narsty is with addicts, who are buying drugs.

This could be a sly dig at Moscow17 member LooseScrew, who was stabbed by Kwengface—the “long nose” is a long knife, which Kwengface may have used to stab LooseScrew.

Kwengface’s lyric later appeared in Zone 2’s “Flex”:

Two-two step, tryna leave man drenched
Twist my 15 in his neck (How about that?)

Trizzac also used a similar lyric in “Judas”:

Still get cheffed in your wisdom (Ching)
Push my 15 then twist it (Ching, ching)

‘Dip game good’*

Zone 2 and its members are well-known for using the “gyallie on me” phrase; the phrase was first popularised by Unknown T in his smash “Homerton B”:

It’s Unknown T, Homerton B
I got gyallie on me

Since then, the phrase has appeared in many of Zone 2 members' tracks, like in their track “Gyallie On Me”:

Gyallie on me like my rammy on me

Should say ‘go Vas that, bank that’ Vas is an abbreviation of the brand name Vaseline, a lubricating cream usually for dry lips,

Banking is a slang term for putting narcotics/paraphernalia in your ass.

Zone 2 is a gang based in Peckham (SE15), south east London.

Dmax, TB and Shay Squeeze are all fellow Zone 2 members.

Kwengface has got himself a brown-skinned girl—referred to as “Chris brownin'”, which links with the US singer Chris Brown—with a “fat back”, or a big butt.

Fellow Zone 2 member Skully used similar lyrics in “Savage”:

I got a Chris Brown-in' with the fat back
Like you only see this in the movies

Kwengface also used these lyrics in Zone 2’s “Behind Barz”:

Chris Brown-in' with the fat back
Had to ask that, like, “What’s that number?”

In “Back2Back”, Karma paid homage to this lyric:

Word to P, gyallie on me
Get friggy, friggy then dash it

Narsty (Kwengface’s alter ego) also used this lyric in “Ginnals”:

Gyal get friggy, friggy for the gang

This lyric also appears in PS' “No Safety”:

Gyal get piping, gyal get friggy (Yo)

Here, PS utilises the double meaning of “broom”—both the cleaning utensil and the slang term for a firearm—to communicate how dangerous his friend’s gun is. “Stick for stick” is a phrase used to talk about a gunfight, i.e. “gun against gun”.

The phrase “Zone 2 step” was popularized by the collective’s track of the same name—it has since appeared in many Zone 2 members' tracks, such as “No Hook” here and PS' “Riding”, which featured Karma:

Zone 2 step, watch them man panic

PS claims that his opps just talk and run their mouths

Here, Kwengface alludes to his alter ego Narsty. In music videos, such as that of “Ginnals”, Narsty’s played by a person other than Kwengface, which created more confusion among Zone 2 fans.

In this context, “putting in work” means to sell drugs—Trizzac juxtaposes his opposition’s work with the repetitiveness of Rihanna’s hit “Work” to emphasise how bad their work rate is.

Work, work, work, work, work, work
He said me haffi
Work, work, work, work, work, work!

Trizzac also mentioned Rihanna in “Judas”:

Feeling like Bryson Tiller and Rihanna

Zone 2’s “Mad About Bars” also saw Kwengface utilise a similar lyric:

Man’s been putting in work
Been getting wild thoughts, you can call me Rihanna

Kwengface is referring to Jazzy/Ondrills from rap group Harlem Spartans which Zone 2 beef. Kwengface is admitting about a time when Ondrills spotted him with his mum and shot at them both. However, when Kwengface spotted him another time, he backed his knife and Ondrills ran away with his gun.

The attribution of the phrase “gyal want sex” to Narsty (Kwengface’s alter ego) has appeared in multiple other Zone 2 tracks; “Kreep & Kweng” saw PS use a similar lyric:

Man might do it like Narsty
Who’s that aunty? Gyal want sex
