Just had a chance to give this album a quick listen through, and have to say I am really impressed. The man is only 21 years-old but his song-writing talents and rhyming skills come through big in his debut album. I would say prematurely that it has a sound quite similar to The Streets, but that could just be the English connection, both with the strong accent in their singing and rhyming.
Some of my personal favorite tracks; Rawhide featuring Lily Allen, If You Got The Money, Sheila and Calm Down Dearest.
Rawhide has got a tempo that fluctuates all over the place, but done in an awesome way. Lily Allen adds something to the song that just makes it stand out on the album. Note this song was only included on the North American release. If You Got The Money is just plain catchy, right down to the “la di da don da da.”
