    Overall Breakfast effectively blends alternative and hip-hop elements into an eclectic montage of fresh lyricism and bursting musical backdrops.

    Where Asher Roth left house-party hip hop (or just got a little high and wandered off) Chiddy Bang pick it up but bring a whole new focus, a pop-sensibility and a very nuanced delivery.

    The album proves worthy enough for the wait, namely due to its shining moments that outweigh the surrounding pitfalls.

    Breakfast turns out to be a reasonably hearty meal, definitely sausage and waffles rather than the aural porridge that "alternative hip-hop" summons up.

    Ultimately, your Chiddy Bang tolerance rests on your ability to endure the self-consciously cute.
