    Not easy listening, no life changer but hard and fresh. By the way, it is just me or do most of the other reviews on this page seem concocted by the same person using different pseudonyms?

    What the hell is Boy in da corner???!!! Honestly all i can say is WOW where the F**K did he just come from, this album is on another level not just in UK hip-hop but music on a global scale. I promise you won't regret this purchase-its an essential underground classic-for real. Peace

    70
    [A] strikingly stark and innovative debut. [Sep 2003, p.102]
  2. It all makes for a bleak spread, but Rascal rises up as a singular musical presence too brimming and perceptive to let the coarse world around him pass by untouched.
  3. Blender
    80
    His hard-edged, dance-inflected debut makes East London sound like the new Dirty South. [Jan 2004, p.108]
