This album prompted me to listen to everything he's done in the past and I can honestly say it's the best thing he's done since his appropriately titled debut record in 2007.

Skepta manages to expertly navigate 13 tracks with diversity, precision and flair, bringing together both old and new to produce an album that continues to see him push the boundaries and raise the levels in a way that only Skepta could. The songs are mostly fire and I was instantly hooked to the catchy, rhythmic African/East Asian beats mostly produced by SK himself. The lyrics are top level and make you think and at the same time you get an insight into SK's personal life and life behind an artist so prominent in the scene. This feels somewhat like a Grime revival with a lot of tracks having heavy bass and hard hitting bars.
