Akala - Freedom Lasso

Corholio

Been listening to this last few days and its a great album. Dont know what people in here think of British rap, and besides Dizzee and maybe Klashnekoff, i wouldnt listen to much either. His flow is one of the best ive heard from a british rapper and to be honest better than half the american rappers out there.

The production is also mostly top notch, especially on Electro Livin, Comedy Tragedy History, Defeated and I Dont Know. The little outro at the end of I Dont Know is also refreshing to hear from a rapper these days. What does everyone think of this album?

Haven't heard it yet, although his first album was ****e so I'm hesitant. Bit By Bit is quite good though.

UK rap is in a fairly decent place right now. Besides Klash, Dizzee and Akala, you've got the likes of Dubbledge, DR Syntax, Wiley, M.I.A., Example and Blak Twang all realesing some nice music this year.

This album is quite different from his first which was pretty hit and miss, havent heard Example's album yet but ive heard its surprisingly good and not just the comedy rap shadow it casts.

Example's album is overwhlemingly 'comedy rap' but he excels at that kind of thing so its a plus rather then a negative.
