An original, distinctive voice in hip hop in this ear-catching second LP by Kevin Smith from Dublin, filled with dark corners of drugs, gentrification, difficult relationships and city soundscapes, an edgy New Year’s Eve and articulate, heavy accented anger. The title track, as previously highlighted on Song of the Day, is the standout, but Black Sheep Part 1, Rover, Sex n’ Drugs, Wickid Tongues and Heartbreak may be the best of the rest, conjuring up characters caught in difficulty, catchy hooks and a variety of sounds from smoky jazz to mellow organs, frantic beats to subtle horns. Out on Soft Boy Records / Different Recordings
