5.0 out of 5 stars Hip Hop Perfection, March 19, 2001

As far as I know Ty has been in the hip hop culture for years, and this albums shows it. Experience and raw skills are large contributing factors to the excellence of this album. Every track on this album is one you'll want to repeatedly hear. Tracks about personal experiences such as 'Hercules', fun stories such as 'The Tale', raps about his different experiences with jealousy on 'Jealousy', battle raps, French rap and more all demonstrate the musical diversity of this album, and Ty's style.

This album is a pleasant rarity in that it doesn't feature many people at all. The only other MC's who rap on this album are on one track, 'Zaibo', who rap in French.

Ty's rapping style is humorous, mellow and all together refreshing. His lyrics are excellent, not always rhyming... but always sounding smooth and perfect.

All together 'Awkward' is a album well worth buying, and when you do buy it, you're paying for every track on this album in that they're all excellent quality, and if you're anything like me... you'll like them all!

5.0 out of 5 stars Honest, February 14, 2001

This album displays the sort of honesty that is unfortunately VERY rare these days in rappers. TY is in another league, he displays charisma, great lyricism and humour. Musically the album is a treat too containing something that is garaunteed to please all. A great album from a true artist.

4.0 out of 5 stars At last, March 28, 2001

Machel Bogues (London, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Awkward (Audio CD)

At long last the most anticipated British Hip Hop album has finally landed. Heads like me have been waiting for the longest for Ty to drop his joint and the wait has definately been worth it! Ty's now famous rhyme skills are in evidence lyrics laced with humour and clever rhymes, and the beats are on point. For anybody who has been sleeping on British Hip Hop you need to cop this, you get me though? (south London slang)
