I like twangs latest offering. Although I haven't listened to his last mainstream album "Kik Off" I only heard "Trixstar" (which was my fav uk tune of 2002) and from what other reviews have given it I might have to pick it up one day. This album is good because twang is original and raps about differnt topics. Three main tracks where he makes his voice heard are Tracks 3, 10 and 11. Track 3 "G.C.S.E." a comical song where twang expresses his concern of todays youth of how they ditch their education, become parents at a young age and get free housing benefits. Although funny twang does make you think about the problems in todays society. Track 10 "Prayer 4 The Dying" twang talks about people he knows who have passed away. He also gives a mention to "Damilola Taylor" who was brutally murdered in November 2000. Track 11 "My World" is about how mp's and parliment are blaming rap music for all the violence and murders in todays world. Twang counters this by saying the parents should be blamed as there the ones who give birth to them and raise them. Overall this is a good album because all the tracks are worth listening to. His flow is excellent and keeps the album tight. Twang is definately the UK's best lyricist. He doesn't rap about the usual stuff e.g. guns, drugs and women but focuses on more important issues. Although I have given this album 4 stars it isn't a classic but is better than most albums I listen to. Maybe in a few years i'll upgrade it to 5. DO YOUR SELF A FAVOUR AND BUY IT TODAY. Peace out.
