Catch Me If, You Can - An Album Worth Buying?

Advantages: 17 Tracks worth £9, Different Genres, Range of Artists featured
Disadvantages: The Album Cover needed a little improvement

...London born artist Bashy, then Catch Me, If You Can is the Album made for you. However if your not into UK Music at all, but just enjoy general Rap, Electro and other up-tempo genres, then this album is also for you! No matter what part of the planet your from, or even the part of the UK your from, Bashy's newest album is an album that should get the UK Music scene more recognition and respect not only from what rapper Bashy (real name Ashley Thomas) ...
...what the artist has done to actually create his music, promote his image and sound and also graft to get the golden album that his needed. Tracks from the album which feature a whole-load of guests, which include: N-Dubz, Wretch 32, Jamelia and many more, with the support of gigantic producers such as Attacca Pesante, Toddla T and Naughty Boy to help manage the album, what could go wrong? Weirdly enough it can't, its an album that you won't be skipping ...

Review of Catch Me If You Can (Parental Advisory) [PA] - Bashy

He Should Have Dealt...

Advantages: A few decent tracks
Disadvantages: Inconsistent

...do much with his former deal at Wanrer Bros. **Four Stars** 13.“This Plane” The first single from this album, I have to say that I felt that this was one of the tracks that really didn't do all that much for me at all and although I feel that it stands out for its overpowering production, it is one that doesn't really have him doing anything that would really make him stand out during a time when underground/independent acts have become much more ...
...Am” This is a fairly straight-forward tune from Wiz and one that has him coming out with even more of the raps that have him able to relax to the point where he sounds as if he's going over-the-top with it all and is far too confident when it doesn't appear that he really has been able to offer all that much with the tracks from this album and so comes as another wasted track that keeps this album where it began, with nothing really going on. **Three ...

Skrein - one of UK Hip-Hops unsung heroes.

Advantages: Superb production, great raps, great album.
Disadvantages: None for me.

'The Eat Up' is the 2007 debut album from North London rapper Skrein. Described by Dented Records website as having an 'explosive stage presence, intoxicating rhymes and an unmistakable voice', Skrein really is one of UK hip-hops greatest unknown talents, but Dented Records seems to specialise in this, having other such UK acts like Dr Syntax and Stig of the Dump on their label. Skrein made his name collaborating on various UK artists records such ...
...7/10 13 - The Eat Up pt 1 ft Shameless The title track is a decent song, the beats are almost blues sounding with a hip-hop baseline on top, Skrein's raps are tight and delivered with perfect timing, some very English lyrics in here. Again love the outro by Geordie rapper Stig, believe it or not but there are people who talk like the voice he put's on in the North-East. 8/10 14 - Pineapples and Pistachios ft Tau Rai An ultra laid back song, I do ...

R.I.P. Adam

Advantages: Original
Disadvantages: Inconsistent

"Death of Adam" is the debut album from the producer-turned-rapper, 88-Keys. As a result, this New York rapper does alll the production, alongside another who fits this description, Kany West. In the past the two have worked together, and a collabortion between the two, featured on this album, is what attracted me to his work. This is a concept album and 88-Keys himself stated that this is how it works: "The entire album is about the power of the ...
...of my man Adam who passed away and basically how he died. It all started off with him catching a boner one morning, morning wood, and his life starts to spin out of control from there." 1. "Morning Wood" To get things going, you have a pretty poor start where Keys sings the opener about how good your day will be if you girl "...take[s] care of the 'Morning Wood'". I was far from impressed by the lyrics, and it was a distasteful starter. **Two Stars** ...

How Did We Get From Jamaica To Snowflakes One Song After The Nex?

Advantages: Lots of big tunes
Disadvantages: Nothing specific

“Snowflakes” was released as the first Christmas album from the R&B singer Toni Braxton. Released in 2001, it finds her mixing in a range of tunes which have her taking on familiar tunes that all know from this time as well as some original compositions. It is noted for being recorded at a time when she was newly married and was expecting her first child. 1.“Holiday Celebrate” The album opens up with a track that shows that in this album we are about ...
...lts of effort put into it in order to make it sound much more than your average, quickly-thrown-together Christmas album as we get thoughtful production that mixes in the contemporary R&B trends with the Christmas-y themes for a big opener that I can't find any faults with. **Five Stars** 2.“Christmas In Jamaica” As things move on, we see there here we get what was the second album from the record and a joint that has her linking up with the Dancehall ...
