Sorry man, that already goes to Boy In Da Corner. Unless you mean something else by number one.

First Grime album to top the charts. Dizzee has done it with Tongue N Cheek before but that was a Dance/Pop kinda thing.

Agree on BIDC.

Edit: Dizzee's was #1 on the RnB chart not the main chart (3) so nobody has done it.

Obviously you haven't heard Hungry Ham from A$AP Ferg.

Currently listening to this, will come back when finished.

Some of these tracks are sweet (as already mentioned, Man is easily the best cut on the album) but some are pretty meh, Text Me Back in particular. Enjoyed it for the most part though, and it's pretty awesome to see just how much exposure this album has been getting.

Tracks 1-4 are really good. The last two are ruined by pointless interludes. Track 5 is ruined by the hook, it fizzles out in the middle but then it picks up again 8-12.

It's a good album, Skepta's production is as good as it's ever been on here, but it could have been a great album were it not for some silly decisions. Still, I'd say it's probably his best release.

Ladies Hit Squad isn't too bad. It is pretty much a radio tune and sounds similar to most other trap that is coming out lately that is super popular.

Close!

He got a pretty solid review from Fantano too.

Cheers for posting, good review.

I just gave this a serious listen.

I think it’s good but overrated. Like a lot of hop that the critics love (and this made quite a few end of the year lists) I just think it’s a little dry.

Maybe there’s no reason to compare the two but I like The Streets much more than this.

This is just a little too direct on the nose inside the box imo
