South-coast spitter/producer, Uncle Mic Nitro has dropped what I can only describe as a flawless blend of filthy, dusty drum breaks that have been teleported straight from our very own "Britcore" era, unforgivingly panel beaten and welded onto a rich tapestry of loops that give a really big budget sound here. When these are added into the mix with his breathless, multisyllabic rhyme schemes and machine gun delivery, you get a hybrid style and sound that feels as though it ties together all era's of UK Hip Hop - It's old skool in ethos but progressive in delivery.

While the guest verses are abundant here and delivered by such a talented collection of artists what I am pleased to tell you is that they don't detract from the headliner or steal the show - there's just enough sprinkled throughout to compliment his style and not smother him and swallow him up, they flesh out the album in fantastic form by adding a broad spectrum of styles and accents into the melting pot.

Content-wise this ain't a mid-life crisis, this is a look into the mind and life of a talented all-rounder who's showing no signs of losing touch with the past or hiding from the future.

Essential listening...

The album will be available on vinyl from 5th Feb' via www.hiphopbebop.com
