Reality bites on the west Londoner’s second album as he puts the spotlight on drug-selling, prison life and those he has lost.

Like its predecessor, ‘Money Can’t Buy Happiness’ is a concise affair. The select feature list and continued neat control suggest Fredo’s not just a good rapper but a good editor, whittling down songs until only the finest remain.

Country: UK
Genre: Trap Rap
For fans of: Kano, Dave, Skepta

I really didn't enjoy this pop rap direction but I was very thankful to hear something very different on this record. There is a real melancholy vibe here, despite some radio friendly tunes and features.

Fredo is an artist I never really got into, untill now.
'Money Can't Buy Happiness' is surprisingly introspective, in such a way I never expected from an artist like Fredo.
