Worth It


I really enjoyed listening to Skepta’s newest album. Carlos mentioned it was solid and when I watched Skepta’s performance of No Sleep on Colors Show. I was definitely interested in listening to this and my interest wasn’t miss placed. It has all the flexing that I expect from a Skepta album:

The way I stepped in there with the SK Air, fam’ serious tekkers
Brand new vest, same old leathers
She know we are the real Goodfellas

But what is really welcome for me with this outing is the songs that have a lot more than flexing to say.

You’ll see, a wise man once told me
You gotta live within your means
You got a pocket full of cash
But yo ugotta have a lot more than what’s in your jeans

There’s a lot of bars to quote from this album. The production is also good too, I didn’t listen to his last album Konnichiwa but this does make me interested in going back. Definitely one of the most solid albums of the year.

Row Row row you boat gently down the stream
Niggas sleeping on me must be Sippin’ on the lean
