Hip Hop for the Indie crowd. Follow up to the 2008 release 'angels'.
This album has been exitedly anticipated by many... it doesnt disappoint, its quite good.
The Album kicks of with a wicked opener called 'sick tonight',it sounds like fizzy candy induced ryhmes, very fun to listen to on the surface. As the listener delves deeper into the album, theres an apparent politcally biting undertone than cuts through like a knife.You can find these rants and raves in tracks like 'Great Britain' & 'Get Better'. I like this about the album, its a refreshing change to the typical 'Hip Hop' yelps of 'bling and bitches'.
Its full of little gems and suprises from start to finnish, it tells a great story of a very hard life in the underground of London and what us 'upstanding citizens' must do to rescue this decaying country. As previously mensioned 'Great Britain' is worth a listen for sure, but i think to appreciate this Hip Hop duo, you need time to give the LP a good old listen in its entirety. If your not a rap fan then your socks will remain firmly intact but, If you like a dash of Hip Hop here and there its smashing, a nice break from the norm.
