PTSD is the third studio album by DBlock Europe, a British hip-hop duo consisting of Young Adz and Dirtbike LB. Released on November 27, 2020, the album features 29 tracks and collaborations with artists such as Aitch, Dave, and Raye.

The album reflects the duo's experiences with post-traumatic stress disorder, which they describe as a result of their rough upbringing in the streets of London. The tracks explore themes of violence, drugs, love, and pain, with a mix of introspective and energetic songs.

Overall, the album has received positive reviews from critics and fans alike, who praise the duo's versatility, lyricism, and production. The album's lead single, "Free 22," has become a fan favorite, with its catchy beat and emotional lyrics about the duo's legal struggles.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Kevin McCallister," featuring Aitch. The song pays homage to the Home Alone character and uses his iconic traps as a metaphor for the duo's street tactics. The track has a bouncy beat and catchy chorus that makes it a potential hit.

Another highlight is "Proud," featuring Dave. The track has a more somber tone and explores the theme of fatherhood and the struggles that come with it. The duo's introspective lyrics and Dave's emotional verse make for a powerful collaboration.
