Meanwhile, Slowthai continues the horror movie themes explored in his recent Skepta collaboration ‘CANCELLED‘ by serving up questionable “beef” burgers in the music video for ‘VEX’.
In a five-star review of ‘TYRON‘, NME‘s Jordan Bassett wrote: “The Northampton rapper’s second album sees him reckon with childhood, adulthood, shame, defiance and regret.
“The record is in form and content an ode to complexity and nuance, a portrait of an inner psyche swollen with defiance, but also prone to shrink with self-doubt.”
