Disc-Overy [Explicit]

After listening to "Intro" on spotify, I decided to check out Tinie's other stuff and I fell in love with this album. There are a few songs I recognized from the radio, but I was surprised to find that every song is equally well written and the whole album shines with excellent production. If you need something with driving bass to motivate you for just about anything, this album is perfect. There are a few more heartfelt songs like "So Addicted" and "Love Suicide" thrown in to break up the pacing as well.

Yeah, so I know this has been out for a hot minute but I've been in Afghanistan for a little longer, I picked this up b/c I heard Written In The Stars - decent track but the rest of the CD is MUCH better. When I read that Tinie is a brit I was a little hesitant and almost downloaded instead, didn't think they could hold their own vice U.S. rappers, Tinie seems pretty solid. Let Go and Simply Unstoppable are my top picks from the line up. Tinie needs to drop another album soon, glad I paid for this one and would gladly pay for the follow up.

No offense, but European hip hop is typically pretty bad. Not the case with Tinie Tempah. Disc-Overy is a very strong debut from a very promising artist. Tinie's got a pretty thick accent when he's rapping, but he's got such a great flow. It's a shame that he isn't doing so well here in the U.S. His album only debuted at #21 on Billboard. We Americans typically eat this kind of music up, so I don't know why he's not tearing up the charts.

1. Intro - 7/10 - Just an intro. Nothing too special here. This is a good example of Tinie's great flow though.

2. Simply Unstoppable - 9.5/10 - Definitely should have replaced the Intro. The chorus is great. Awesome beat. Very solid track.

3. Pass Out - 10/10 - I've known about this song for a very long time now. It should have been a huge single here in the U.S. but that never happened. Pass Out is extremely catchy and has some pretty cheeky lyrics. The beat towards the end of the song is tight.

4. Till I'm Gone - 9/10 - This is a new track on the U.S. version of the album and features Wiz Khalifa. It's a solid track and will likely be a single. It's not an amazing song, but it's got a catchy chorus and very radio friendly.

5. Illusion - 6/10 - Definitely the weakest track on the album. I hate the chorus. The lyrics are okay and the beat is good, but it's just not a great track.

6. So Addicted - 10/10 - My favorite track on the album. It's a little softer and features an incredibly good chorus from Bei Maejor. This could be a huge single in the U.S. if it's released as one. This is also a new song recorded for the U.S. version.

7. Snap - 8/10 - Very laid-back, chill song. Lyrics aren't anything special, but I just love the laid-back sound.

8. Written in the Stars - 8.5/10 - I loved this song at first, but it's been overplayed here in the U.S. It's still a great song though. Features a great chorus from Eric Turner. A nice, uplifting song.

9. Frisky - 9.5/10 - I love the beat in this song. The chorus is very catchy. Cheeky lyrics again, "would you risk it for a chocolate biscuit?" Was a popular single in Europe and could possibly be here in the U.S. if it's released as a single, but I doubt it will be.

10. Miami 2 Ibiza - 10/10 - Very good dance/club track featuring the Swedish House Mafia. Of course it has an amazing beat. Very cheeky lyrics again, "...surrounded by some bunnies, and it ain't f****n' Easter." Good Stuff!

11. Love Suicide - 9/10 - Another new track recorded for the U.S. version. The song reminds me of Love the Way You Lie by Eminem, especially the beat. It's another softer song and features Ester Dean in the chorus. It's a nice song.

12. Wonderman - 9/10 - Very good beat and a decent chorus from Ellie Goulding. It's a strong song. One of my favorites.

13. Let Go - 7.5/10 - Not really a good finish, but a respectable track. I don't really care for the chorus which is sung by Emile Sandé. I like the darker sound though.

Recommended Tracks: Simply Unstoppable, Pass Out, So Addicted, Frisky, Miami 2 Ibiza

This guys style of music has changed the way I listen to music. I felt the same way a few months ago when the Diddy Dirty Money cd came out. The music direction is so different and yet addicting to listen to. The beats are flawless, making you want to jam to it no matter what the lyrics are. I give this guy props and can't wait to hear more from him on his next album. His cd title tells it all, Tinie Tempah is a Discovery.

Amazing! Love the beats, rapping, duets! Great artist, wish there was more like this album.

If you like HipHop or electro, or electro HipHop he's got some catchy tunes and thoughtful lyrics amongst head boppers and reflection. I was listening to it over and over on Spotify so just bought it so I could have it offline, I liked it so much.

Tinie is that dude! Nice beats, tight lyrics... Something different than all the B.S. that's on the radio!!! Hope his new album is as good!

Not the one I was looking for but ok
