sah still next up but i must admit that i did get quite excited for britannica and thus i had higher expectations for his debut.

feature on did it again 2 is jarring although the transition from wwyd into it had me hyped up. presidential freestyle is a banger tho and demonstrates sah's versatility along with some great chemistry with n4t. but this was probably the only new song from this project that has entered rotation. the other new tracks are ok but not too great. project could have ... read more

first ever full action bronson project and it was really good
fav so far is olympic vince carter

why the intro got a 63 tho 💔

i love deathtoricky

So many bangers in here and its actually super cohesive as a full project, production is epic, few misses, very listenable and great replay value, i love this tape

i can listen to niontay for hours.

this album fits so many vibes and its super listenable for me, even when studying.

there's few misses and the production is cool, i think by having quite a few producers on this it made it pretty interesting.
I feel like he would've been a perfect feature on utility too, tracks like rectangle lens or book of eli could have really benefited from a niontay or el cousteau feature imo

most tracks are pretty much in and out of rotation, fav is ... read more

the first mike song i ever listened to was when someone introduced me to skurrr, and thus pinball, in mid 2024. mike was my top artist last year, so i owe this album so much. its come back on repeat again for me as of late and i have been appreciating how great it is. very groovy, tony is excellent on production, features do their job, and mike's flows and versatility are on full display here. i loved pompeii too but on face value i'd probably prefer pinball 1 and 2 (although these ... read more

so a few days ago i challenged myself to get to a certain elo on chess.com and this album was playing, and bc i was so locked in i decided to just keep listening to it on repeat until i finally got there. after a very late night and many frustrating moments i finally got there and tbh, it was not very fun. definitely should've just slept as it was an unnecessarily frustrating grind. however, the one highlight of the challenge was this album. idk how many times i listened to it in its ... read more

storytime soo basically for like a week or so i’ve been hearing this quite load and disturbing knocking sound coming from my cupboards and walls and i have been trying to get to the bottom of it because it’s been really freaking me out. so quickly i become convinced that there is some evil entity haunting my room which was obviously a highly not nice experience. anywayso this genuinely sounded so real and after a while it did finally click.. so the past week or so i’ve been ... read more

This is a cool release.
Over the past few years Slew has brought a new aggressive sound to the uk ug, with the same aggression but a far more conventional beat selection of someone such as sinn6r. However, he very rarely changes up his flow and thus most of his music sounds pretty similar, with this track not being an exception to that. While he is relatively popular within the scene, he has had limited collaboration with major artists in the uk ug scene up to this point, so it was very ... read more

how did i just find this.
similar feeling as to when i listened to @ MEH for the first time. yeahh

was lucky enough to go to jim's pop up in london about a month back where he previewed and filmed a bit of the mv for this song, knew then it would be a banger and it def is!! the pop up was so awesome and i think the mv is coming out later today so hyped for that as well it was sick to be part of.
I love how he's able to explore the uncertainty surrounding his future post bbm, w/ his increased popularity as well as dealing with the loss of his sister, while also further reflecting on ... read more

EsDeeKid's verse is decent and he works pretty well on this beat, but yeat doesn't really do it for me. cool to see the two collabing tho but probably won't come back to this much

take me back to london where it’s raining

i really disliked this when i first heard the snippets but since then it’s really grown on me. at first i believed that it was still way too early for a change of sound (and i still think a teebo/syst7m type project w/ the did it again/eediyat/war sound would be amazing & very successful), but this single really does make me excited for whats coming next, or whether this style could amalgamate with his previous work in his (hopefully upcoming) debut project. at the end of the day this ... read more

mad

why does a bee keep coming in to my room when i play this whenever i get to 2:10. Not happy 😡

Rico proves he’s more than one-dimensional

Frequent collaborators Saiming and Zuko combine for their only shared project, filled with plenty of heat. After the success of their single Night Tube, their joint ep almost two years later establishes them both as pioneers of the UK underground, bringing together different elements of both modern and traditional grime and UK rap on fast, bouncy, and fun beats.

However, there is an almost tender note to this ep. While most collaborative projects work because flows and styles are similar, this ... read more
