Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Brixton-raised artist's debut full-length, co-produced with SOPHIE and other prominent electronic figures, is a dark, futuristic amalgamation of dancehall, grime, and industrial music. The politically charged record navigates the immigrant experience and urban decay, characterized by heavily processed vocals and aggressive, bass-heavy production.
