Prelude: This might be shaping up to be the best year that UK Rap has ever seen
Review: GODDAMMIT THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A 9, BUT VOICES WAS SO GODDAMN BAD UGH
This is perhaps, the most meaningful rap release of the year so far. UK Rapper Dave absolutely pours out his heart over 11 tracks. His keen sense of wordplay and admirable storytelling abilities are the most likable features of this album. The album features this 10 minute epic of a song called Lesley that, while not being my favorite track, is ine of the most impressive things I have heard all year. I would even say that it rivals Immortal Technique’s ‘Dance With the Devil’ for what I think is the best story told through a rap song. Technique has the better bars, but Dave has the better story. Definitely check that track out. I am thoroughly impressed with this record and am excited to see what else the UK Rap scene has in store for us this year.
