ANYWAY:



This kid makes music, and I like it. He's made quite a few decent EPs, but I'm particularly fond of this:



Full album with 14 songs. Guy is from England, which will be pretty obvious when you listen to him deliver vocals - baritone voice and a distinct, no so technically perfect but better for it, delivery. On the whole he brings a lot of strong elements from Hip-Hop, Jazz, as well as other sub genres. There's not exactly any rap, but the vocal delivery is in a sort of weird limbo between singing and spoken word...

There is some videos of his rapping though. Example: CLICK HERE

Personally, I love it, and I'd like to hear more in the future. What do you guys think?

The rap is decent but I kinda think it's just an exploitation of his voice, he doesn't really have the skills yet. If that's the direction he wants then he needs to put in a lot more work.

Absolutely love 6 Feet Beneath the Moon. Kid has a future
