Description

It's pretty hard to walk your own path in rap music this late in the day, to remain true to where you're from and to the roots of the music you love while honouring your own intelligence and creating something original. On his debut album, [sic], twenty one year old Elliott Egerton achieves just that. Slamming together a raw mix of contemporary sounds that he describes as ''punk-donk-dub-hip-hop,'' then colliding this with the mercurial, hard-hitting brilliance of his lyricism, Egerton has made a debut album which sounds both true and new. ''Liverpool's dubstep-rap breakout boy is bringing north-west rap music back from the donk towards something much smarter.'' Vice
