Honestly what a perfect album.
From start to finish this album brings great production through and through. The instrumentation is one of a kind.
For a first time listen I was blown away by how Kiwanuka can craft an all timer such as this. With the help of Inflo and Dangermouse this is an absolute masterpiece.
From the starting track and just how bright it sounds.
The last three tracks bring you a wave of emotions like none other. As well as this he can also craft catchy songs which he ... read more
What an album.
On this album, he explores complex topics. And does it in such a way it doesn’t get in the way of the music. Hugo has excellent flows all across the album and even better production. He shows emotion especially on tracks such as ‘HGU’ which in my opinion takes a very skilled artist to do it tastefully.
Overall, this project is great, great lyrical content, beats, flows and emotion.
BEST: HGU
WORST: Plastic
I will defend this e.p until the day I die.

LIVE LONG STEELO
Great production, sound a lot more polished then 1999, great flows and lots of emotion shown on tracks such as livelongsteelo. Overall great
Good album gets tiresome and repetitive in some places though, the more pop punk songs are definitely better. 4ever shows signs of Steve Lacy influence as well.
Great vibes throughout and jim’s voice is unmatched, his production is also top tier, it makes the album sound way more professional. hit it light it twist it, is my favourite song due to the emotion shown through it, like he did with dj.
Great album, drags in a few places and can be a tad bit repetitive, the jim feature had to be the highlight
This album is so fucking graceful, I love it, but in order to fully love it you have to be in the correct environment
Hear me out, it ain't groundbreaking but it is a hella fun album, if you dislike this js admit you're boring
