The Grime thread

I think I'm gonna have to let that Novelist album settle inside me for a little bit. Still have to figure out whether I actually think it's nothing more than decent or if I'm just annoyed there's nothing on there like 1 Sec.

afro pick is a big chune and one of the best tracks ive heard this year

too bad the rest of the album doesnt live up to that

Looking forward to Godfather 2, but dunno if it will live up to the first one.

Wish Wiley had better quality control. I saw the track list for G2 and it has 20 tracks, so a few will be duds I reckon - https://store.hmv.com/music/cd/godfather-ii

Off the Radar pt 2 sounds promising. Pt 1 was immense. If Wiley was just a bit better at picking tracks, he'd have like 3 or 4 really top notch albums.

his last album was an absolute belter so i’m hoping for something solid although i won’t be surprised if it doesn’t live up to it

It looks more of the same, going by the t/l and features. So should be good. I just hope with 20 tracks there isn't a dud in there.

I was really pleased to see the reviews for G1, it was a strong album with no big mistakes on it, I knew he had it in him to do something that good. Snakes & Ladders was great too.

Have you ever heard Race Against Time?

That is good.

It's not on YouTube now but the Roll Deep Conflict DVD is like the holy grail of sets for me. On this set, there is:

Dizzee
Wiley
D Double E
Sharky Major
Crazy Titch
Tinchy Stryder
God's Gift

It's legendary, I spent about 7 or 8 years tracking it down only for it to go. If you type Titch vs Dizzee into YouTube you'll see the 'fight'. A great set such a shame its gone.

It's possible I've got the audio on a hard drive somewhere. I also put some sets on my YouTube channel a while back I'll link them up.

I've definitely got F Radio 3 and 5 on disc somewhere in full studio quality so I can get you those.

given godfather 2 a couple days and im still not sure what to say

a few very good tracks but much like on the previous project i really don’t care for when it gets slowed down with pseudo love making romantic tracks. just not really what i go to grime for and i don’t think Wiley does that great of a job with them. i can only remember there being one on his last album but there are multiple on this and with it being such a short album it seems like it overruns the project.
