"Eagle" is a song by British rap collective D-Block Europe featuring Albanian rapper Noizy. It was released on 11 January 2024, as the third single from D-Block Europe's third full-length studio album, Rolling Stone. The song was produced by Da Beatfreakz.
Background
The track was first teased by Young Adz through an Instagram snippet he posted on September 11, 2023, prior to the official release.
Composition
Writing for Clash, Shanté Collier-McDermott wrote that on "Eagle", Noziy has a "gritty tone adding to the song’s authentic rap feel" and "Young Adz' hook another playful salute".
Critical reception
The Guardian's Thomas Hobbs noted that the track is a "highlight" on Rolling Stone. He also stated that the song "has a rabble-rousing hook as well as an irresistible rags-to-riches sentiment". Damien Morris for The Observer wrote that alongside "Lady in Hermes" and "I Need It Now", the song "reassert" their predilection for spare, almost soporific numbness, with more gleaming melodies a minute than many rappers manage in a lifetime".
Music video
The official William Thomas-directed music video was filmed in multiple locations, most notably in the capital city of Albania, Tirana. While in Tirana, the three artists "made themselves at home while showing off flashy jewellery, high-end vehicles".
