interview he did recently talking about life and the new mixtape:

thread went crazy

no-one gives af about the Streets on here huh?

Site doesn't deserve him.

IDLES

the feature list is wild lmao

the song with chris lorenzo is trashhhh tho

innnn

mike is a legend

I'm actually not feeling this new one much, he doesn't appear as lyrical as he used to be on here.

Still have high hopes for the album, production is on point as always.

really? i get your point about the lyrics. in his earlier music he had a simile in him but it was mostly straight-talking about everyday life. now he can be a lot more abstract and uses some more convoluted sayings / sentences

kind of reminds me of his style on his Darker the Shadow the Brighter the Light stuff:

Finally

Original Pirate Material and A Grand Don't Come for Free are amazing. Not really digging this new track though. I hope it grows on me within the context of the tape though

Yeah but this is much better tbh, his lyrics and flow pack more of a punch. Then again I've only really listened to OPM & A Grand Don't Come For Free mostly.

I've only skimmed through the latter albums.

streets wise

she belong to the streets

Gassed for tunes with Jesse/Eliza, Kasiin, Oscar and Hak Baker

So this the nigga we’ve all been referring to ? Streets wise of course

I think this new song could be a good opener

Song with Lorenzo ain't it imo :/

I think it will sound better when listening to the album, I like Kevin on the chorus quite a bit.

i am the same, while there are some tracks on his later albums that i enjoy it is obvious they are not up to the calibre of his first two.

OPM and A Grand are classics forever, OPM especially

its so bad lmao

i have no idea how everyone's comments are so positive about it on the youtube video, it must be hitting with the chav demographic

this is the man who a 1000 women belong to

A Grand Don't Come for Free a GOAT-tier album, but Ionno Ima wait for the album though

A Grand is such a good concept album, both albums solidified him as legend.

Happy to see he's still making music.

I thought it fit well too. When I saw it was featuring him I got scared for a sec lol
