As usual this is pretty (petty) heavy stuff so BM is going to review – the lead
track from the new album -and then go for a wee lie down.
Although versed a wee bit in rap music BM does not really have the experience to place this in one of the many sub-genres, but this is angry, seething and instrumentally straight on the money, although it might be time to lose the “Scottish rapper” bit of the title, we know he is Scottish but actually it doesn’t matter anyway, does it?
Darren McGarvey has become a bit of a media phenomenon recently but don’t think for a minute that this has watered down his furious spill of clever invective, with producer Laigo providing the horror/scifi instrumental backing.
Not an easy listen, and the aggression could be seen by some as too confrontational but this is a serious talent, and the stuff he’s talking about is real, so keep listening…
