I listed this earlier in the week, but at the time hadn't really gone through it enough to comment. Fast forward several days and probably twenty spins later, I find myself -- dare I say --
frothing with anticipation for more. If you were turned off by Dizzee Rascal, or if you've got even a remote interest in the grime scene, get. this. disc. Virtually everything on here is superior to Dizzee (and I <3 his stuff), particularly in the delivery: much less abrasive, although the two female acts might still cause some bleeding if you've got delicate ears. But if you like M.I.A., for example, you're golden.
After hearing
Road, it's kind of baffling, really, how Dizzee managed to break in the US before some of these other guys. Kano, Roll Deep, Wonder and Plan B, Terror Danjah... a lot of this stuff could be huge here, given the right exposure. And I have no idea what the Streets are doing on here. As fantastic as Skinner's last album was, he feels out of place in company like this, "Fit" remix or not.
