hurray ! <\/FONT><\/DIV>
the return of the sheffield based graf artist known as kid acne<\/STRONG>. it feels like an age since i spun council estate <\/EM>repeatedly over a summer telling one and all that it was one of my fave albums of the year. <\/FONT><\/DIV>
then following that burst of activity, i heard rumours of a link up with the ever impressive lex records <\/STRONG>but things went quiet. that was until this morning when this new ep dropped on the mat.<\/FONT><\/DIV>
amazingly the link up has happened, however, alongside the invisible spies<\/EM> logo (kid acnes own label), the lex records<\/EM> logo, is the emi<\/EM> logo. whoa. <\/FONT>bills are getting paid.<\/FONT><\/DIV>
so, without any hesitation, i got the silver disc player warmed up, only for my 10 year old to splutter out his cornflakes asking if he had really heard the lyrics re drug dealers.<\/FONT><\/DIV>
umm yeah.<\/FONT><\/DIV>
lead track on the 3 tracker, the cutting edge production throughout is once again handled by long time cohort, req one, <\/STRONG>is a fine slice of uk referencing brilliance, with lyrical digs and jibes thrown in the direction of jonathan ross, fray bentos, and even everyones favourite party killer, smirnoff. <\/FONT><\/DIV>
then comes the singalong vocal hook, i got 2 friends like a drug dealer. <\/EM><\/FONT><\/DIV>
trust me, if this were given space on daytime radio one, you’ll all be chanting this in the coming months.<\/FONT><\/DIV>
the ep is then padded out with the stripped down mantronix<\/STRONG> sounding swear down, <\/EM>and split heads<\/EM> featuring that other rapper of cartoon fame, infinite livez <\/STRONG>giving it the flip over girls who like guys that dance to devo.<\/STRONG><\/FONT><\/DIV>
all in all, a friggin’ fantastic slab of uk hip hop that induces smiles and a nod of the head.<\/FONT><\/DIV>
cant wait for the album, romance aint dead.<\/EM><\/FONT><\/DIV>
(nb. a small fact for the nerds out there – the ep has been mastered by the one and only rob gordon. <\/STRONG><\/FONT><\/EM><\/DIV>
oh yes, connect up with that old fon records<\/STRONG>\/sheffied history mr acne. nice.)<\/FONT><\/EM><\/DIV>
