BM (KARD) x Tion Wayne – Brick By Brick Single Review & Meaning

BM is Back: Why “Brick By Brick” is the Collab We Didn’t Know We Needed

Let’s be real: BM (Big Matthew) has never been one to stay in a single lane. We’ve seen him as the powerhouse lead of KARD, the “Big Tiddie Gang” fitness icon, and the king of dark, moody solo tracks. But with his latest single, “Brick By Brick,” he’s doing something different.

This time, he’s linked up with UK drill legend Tion Wayne, and honestly? The vibe is immaculate.

The Global Link-Up

Usually, when K-pop idols collab with Western rappers, it can feel a bit… forced. Like their labels just shook hands and hoped for the best. But “Brick By Brick” feels like a genuine session.

You’ve got BM’s deep, signature baritone sliding over a bouncy, guitar-driven beat that feels more “summer rooftop party” than “underground club.” Then Tion Wayne comes in with that unmistakable London flow, and the contrast just works. It’s a bridge between Seoul and London that actually holds up.

It’s All About the Grind

The title isn’t just a catchy hook; it’s basically BM’s life story. If you’ve followed him for a while, you know he’s big on the “10,000 hours” rule. The lyrics dive into that slow-and-steady hustle—building a career, a physique, and a legacy one piece at a time.

“I’m building this life brick by brick / Watch how the pieces all start to click.”

It’s an anthem for anyone currently in their “grind phase.” It’s motivational without being cheesy, which is a tough line to walk.

Why You Need This on Your Playlist

If you’re tired of the same old pop formulas, this is your palette cleanser. It’s got:

  • The Bop Factor: That guitar loop will be stuck in your head for three days minimum.

  • The Flow: BM’s rap delivery is smoother here than on his heavier tracks like STRANGERS.

  • The Aesthetic: The music video is high-fashion meets street-grit—exactly what we expect from Big Matthew.

What’s Next?

This single is just a taste of what’s coming on his new project, “Big Motion” (dropping March 20th). If this is the direction he’s taking, we’re in for a wild ride this year.
