Maybe the best rap/hiphop album to come out of the UK in the 2010s
I’d have to go one of Kano’s last two. Most likely Man in the Manor.
Entire album is great. “Angel” in particular is my favorite
Everything Tom Misch touches is great, it's just a shame he's slowed down his output the last few years. He could be huge if he wanted to be
For the other tracks, Ottolenghi, Still, Dear Jean, and Ice Water are my favourites, and I feel like I like the tracks less on the second half of the album.
Really good project overall
A great album, Ottolenghi and Loose Ends are still in rotation for me and whenever I think of FIFA 20 I think of Angel playing. 2019 was such a great year for UK music, can’t believe it’s been 5 years. Loyle, Little Simz, Kano, Skepta, Slowthai, Dave, AJ Tracey, JME, Stormzy all had great projects.
Love this album and he’s phenomenal live
I was blown away by how compelling and personal his live performance was. Instantly made me a fan
Amazing album straight up
3,4,9 are fire
loose ends is so beautiful
His best album, Angel and Krispy are my favorite songs, but Ice Water and Ottolenghi are also great, just nails that chill vibe.
Favorite feature will always be Tom Misch, the two of them work so well together
