HIP HOP

The Grouch drops his first solo-project in five years, and it ain’t too bad either. A highly respected solo MC, beat-maker and founder member of The Living Legends, he is famed for his heartfelt approach to his lyrics; an angle that’s much more absorbing and considerably more entertaining than old skool gangsta vibes. The 15 tracks are right across the board, ranging from tight atmospheric beat stuff such as ‘Show You the World’, through to freaked-out freestyle hip hop with ‘Artsy’ and ‘The Bay to LA’. It’s quality gear in the same vein as Sunspot Jonz, MURS or Edan.
