CRITIC REVIEWS

An album that delivers on all fronts, from the ratatat of drill or the swinging hip-hop beats, EDNA explores as much as it uncovers more sides to its voice.

On debut album ‘Edna’ he transcends the limits of any one scene, growing into a certified star.

Pulling out all the stops for an expansive statement of self, in EDNA the Tottenham great provides an impeccable portfolio of his varied sonics, concretizing his place among London's finest.

Headie One is at last ready to assume his place at the top table of UK music.

Despite its focus on crime and punishment and prodigious use of gangland slang, Edna proves far more thoughtful than the genre’s reputation might lead listeners to expect.

‘Edna’ is proof that he’s the unmistakeable, global ‘King of drill’, and much more besides.

There’s a lot you can learn about this country from hearing that grimness expressed with such determined intelligence.

A workable entente between past and future is struck on Edna.

while uk hip hop and drill is full of different and unique flows, you will not find any here. every verse sounds very similar and is interchangeable between songs.
I chose to listen to this album because it seemed to have a huge budget which is something unusual for a drill project to have. The album was filled with features from the first track to the last one and was an interesting experience. I went into 'EDNA' with extremely high expectations and the second half of the project did an amazing job at meeting them, while the first half was fine but nothing special.

Unfortunately, despite the warm reception from the critics, 'EDNA' turned out to be another tight, mediocre trap album. And while it has its good points, most of the album's action is hazy.
British Rap always makes me laugh, the way everything is pronounced is so funny to me. The beats are pretty weak and his delivery is not very energetic. Way too long to be this bland. My favorite part about this album was the Drake feature and that says something.

Headie One’s new LP, “ENDA”, is a well-produced set of drill tracks, that sadly are debunked by poor lyricism or simply repetitiveness. The persona displayed on this record is murky and undistinguished, leaving the 1-hour listening experience to be something of a hard trek.
Earlier in 2020, Headie released the E.P, “GANG”, an interesting, rather difficult to pin-point collab effort with Fred Again. The mini-project had its highlights, but ultimately lacked the ... read more
