Lap 5 is the second studio album by British hip hop duo D-Block Europe, self-released on 23 September 2022. In addition to featuring members Dirtbike LB and Young Adz on specific tracks, it features guest appearances from Ghost Killer Track and Ed Sheeran, as well as vocals from Burna Boy.[1] The album debuted at number two on the UK Albums Chart and number one on the UK R&B Albums Chart. It was supported with five singles: "Black Beatles", "Elegant & Gang", "Fantasy", "Man in the Mirror" and "4 the Win", which all peaked in the top 50 of the UK Singles Chart.[2] The album was certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).
Kyann-Sian Williams of NME called the album "intriguing but uneven" but one on which the duo "show precisely why their formula works, and offer room for growth". Williams found that the duo "are truly in their stride when they can blend the more traditional hip-hop styles with suave melodies".
