“introspection and self-discovery on an album of two halves”
“The emerging artist offers his own unique stories of perseverance during frustrating times”
“Though TYRON's introspective side slightly outshines its bangers, the overall journey is powerful.”
“Northampton’s premier rapper returns with a fascinating follow-up to 2019’s Nothing Great About Britain. The first half brings bassy, pugilistic tracks with truculent titles such as Vex and Wot. The second half is more melodic, peaking with the wonderful, Pixies-referencing Push. The music is uniformly excellent, Slowthai’s inimitable querulous yelp in fine form across all 14 songs. It’s the endle”
“British rapper slowthai, aka Tyron Frampton, the prince of Northampton, released his debut LP Nothing Great About Britain in 2019. The album’s success is multifaceted. slowthai leverages his unabashed, volcanic and confessional lyrics to paint this intriguing, sonic landscape of the council estates (U.K. public housing) that shaped him. On explosive, back-biting tracks like “Doorman” ft. Mura Masa”
“The UK rapper’s first album since his disastrous appearance at last year’s NME Awards is split between welcome introspection and all-caps boasting. It’s a refreshingly candid self-assessment.”
