Ignorance Is Bliss

Product Information

stars out of 5 -- "The Tottenham rapper's comeback is a diverse-sounding, assured success, a muscular record that conveys global ambition, drawing on a dizzying collection of sounds and influences.

The songs are mostly fire and I was instantly hooked to the catchy, rhythmic African/East Asian beats mostly produced by SK himself. Since emerging as a producer and MC back in 2004, Skepta has become one of the most significant British artists working in music today. Every record is shipped in original factory-applied shrink wrap and has never been touched by human hands.

Whereas he was once an underground hero railing against anti-grime sentiments and the misunderstanding of his art, he's now an international star with a string of guest spots on gargantuan US hip-hop hits to his name. Love Me Not" has that Old School Garage feel and "Gangsta" brings the well known Grime collective back together.

The topic is explored by a series of internationally acclaimed mixed discipline artists, that intends to challenge and inspire the audience whilst celebrating the makers involved.

This album prompted me to listen to everything he's done in the past and I can honestly say it's the best thing he's done since his appropriately titled debut record in 2007.

Bullet From A Gun, What Do You Mean, Glow In The Dark, and 'You Wish' are my favorites on the album, they're very good songs. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Standouts include Bullet From A Gun, produced by both Skepta and Ragz Originale and is a focused and reflective track that shows the depth of the grime kingpin's lyricism while Greaze Mode - featuring Luton vocalist Nafe Smallz - is a hard-hitting banger with a turn-up mentality.
