Quality grime/instrumental hip hop tracks. I would love to see a good rapper use some of these.
Best Tracks: My People, Follow the Square Leader, Who You Talking To?, For You, Bun Man, Run The Streets, Understand, The Real Best
From the first listen, 'Machine Gun' went into a playlist. Such a smooth song. It's easily the best. 'Altogether' is another one of my picks. Everything else is solid but I don't find this to be brilliant song after brilliant song.
Very good all the way through. This album mixes a number of genres including funk, soft rock, hip hop, reggae, soul and R&B. Patrice has a great distinctive voice, and almost every song is first-rate. Musically it features some atmospheric and emotive music which are further enhanced and matched vocally and lyrically. A very good album which I would recommend.
Best Tracks: Today, Soulstorm, Only Believers, Rememba, Have You Seen It?, Gun, Slave to the River
With a better singer this would be an easy 4/5. She ruins track 4 and 5, but particularly 4 with the whining voice. It's near unlistenable. 'Roads' is the highlight and the first song to make me think this had something special. The backend is a lot stronger than the front. Good, but I don't get what separates this from the many other similar albums around.
