CRITIC REVIEWS

NME

The growth and progression here is stunning.

90
The Line of Best Fit

Big Conspiracy is an album that certifies J Hus as one of the most influential artists in UK music.

80
Pitchfork

Improving upon his more eclectic debut, Common Sense, Big Conspiracy is smoother, preciser, and more measured.

80
musicOMH

Big Conspiracy showcases both of these sides well, while exploring a darker side of his sound palette and confirming his place in the new generation of post-grime British artists.

80
AllMusic
He sounds far more comfortable behind the mic this time around -- his glamorous boasts sound just as unforced and effortless as his tales of grinding and hustling.
80
Clash

It represents a broadening and deepening of J Hus’ artistry, while sacrificing a tiny aspect of the immediacy that turned his Top 10 debut album ‘Common Sense’ into a modern British classic.

80
The Guardian

The charts are currently packed with British rappers, but not all of them have their own niche quite as clearly delineated as his. Big Conspiracy leaves you wanting to hear even more.

80
The Independent

Big Conspiracy is Hus’s second chance – an album that proves he’s just as essential a part of UK music today as he was three years ago.

80
The Observer

Hus re-emerges a more thoughtful figure on his second album.

80
Evening Standard
If only it wasn’t January it would be the sound of the summer.

i just like the accent of uk rap but the project is just bland.

Must be is a banger

A more genre-focused outing, with leaner hooks and a tighter run time, J Hus veers his afroswing sound into a darker space. With a lot of the infectiousness of the debut and better use of its collaboraters, J Hus has swerved the sophomore slump.
