UK Hip Hop Invasion

(5 out of 5 stars)

"If Roots Manuva was UK hip-hop's Columbus (without all the slaughtering) - the first UK MC to seriously hit US shores - then Ty is the first and best of a growing wave of immigrants, bringing refreshingly original and well thought out hip hop to the stale, tired market that is US hip-hop (notwithstanding a few notable underground MC's that continue to represent here). Oh yeah, and his beats are bangin'. Anyway, I'm too lazy to go through every song on the album - just get it. The lyrics are funny and intelligent as hell and the beats will snap your neck off. What more do you want? You want More?PS: Ty's also a lable-mate of Roots Manuva's, and the remix they do together of Ty's "You Want More?" (remix not on album) is just tight as hell."

Refreshing New Sound....

"This CD is fantastic. It circumvents the tired clichés of mainstream artists in a fresh and funky way. The rhymes are thoughtful, and fun. Most of all, the music is original. If you like Roots Manuva, or if you are tired of the same old sound coming from corporate hip-hop.... you definitely should check this out.
Check out ninjatune's website if you want to see some videos. This CD is an instant favorite. Buy it!"

"As close to flawless as you can be.. On point with the lyrics, beats & content. Makes me proud of hip-hop. Turn off your Mtv and Vh1 and open your eyes... Peace and Love"
