Belly Squad

Belly Squad are a UK rap and Afroswing collective made up of Yung Max, Ty Jombla, and Ross Jombla, part of the wave of London street-pop groups that emerged in the mid-to-late 2010s alongside the broader UK Afrobeats and Afroswing scene. Their sound blends melodic rap, dancehall- and Afrobeats-influenced rhythms, and hook-driven pop songwriting, positioning them closer to the accessible, radio-ready end of that movement than to grime's more aggressive lineage.

Songs such as «Banana» and its «Banana Remix», «Long Time», and «Sun Goes Down» showcase the group's signature approach: light, bouncy production, romantic or party-focused lyrics, and tight vocal interplay between the three members. Tracks like «Missing» and «Pick Up The Phone (Remix)» leaned further into UK R&B-adjacent songwriting, showing the group's range across upbeat and more sentimental material.

Belly Squad's music fits within the broader UK street-pop ecosystem alongside acts pushing Afroswing into the mainstream, contributing to the genre's crossover appeal through catchy, collaborative singles rather than dense lyrical content. Their output reflects London's multicultural youth sound of the era, built for playlists and remix culture as much as traditional album releases.
