D-Block Europe, often abbreviated to DBE, is a British hip hop collective, consisting of Adam Nathaniel "Young Adz" Williams and Ricky Earl "Dirtbike LB" Banton from Lewisham, London.[3] Their name is a reference to The Lox (also known as D-Block). They were signed by their label at the beginning of 2014.[4] The duo rose to fame in 2017 after releasing numerous singles including "Large Amounts". Their style encompasses elements of British hip hop and trap, as well as use of Auto-Tune.

D-Block Europe's debut mixtape Any Minute Now, a collaborative project with British rapper from London Yxng Bane, was released in 2018 and charted at number 14 on the UK Albums Chart. Their debut solo mixtape, Home Alone, was released on 15 February 2019 and peaked at number 6 on the UK Albums Chart followed by their second mixtape of 2019, PTSD, which debuted at number 4 on the UK Albums Chart. Their debut album The Blue Print: Us vs. Them reached number two on the UK Albums Chart on 16 October 2020.
