Album Notes & Community Reviews

Billed initially as his final album, the foundational grime pioneer returns with a ferocious, back-to-basics celebration of the East London sound he helped invent. The record rejects commercial pop crossovers in favor of freezing, aggressive 140-BPM instrumentals and legendary guest verses from Skepta and Kano. It was universally praised as a masterful, authoritative victory lap.
