    Conflict of Interest, his third studio release, has both cinematic scope and tear-jerking moments.

    ‘Conflict Of Interest’ could sit on the same shelf as Dave’s ‘Psychodrama’ as an album that depicts honest tales of London through the art of true lyricism, a tradition that will never die out.

    It’s Ghetts’ ability to paint rich scenes and his breadth of unabashed honesty that animates his comeback into a fully-fledged triumph. Although meticulously crafted under Ghetts’ famed perfectionist nature, it’s pure; neither shunning the light or the dark across the 16 tracks. He lets it all show.

    Granted, introspection is nothing new for the Newham MC, whose past works have tackled cancer, colourism and voting abstention—but here he lays bare his own story with disarming frankness.

    Conflict of Interest feels closer in spirit to Dave’s expansive Psychodrama than British rap’s other big-hitting recent albums: smart and sombre, long yet free of padding.

    His strongest album to date, and one of grime’s true classics – even if there is a not-very-good Ed Sheeran feature slapped in the middle of it.

    I think that this is one of the best albums i have ever heard. the lyrics is very good and the chorus is not the same al the time. The soundI think that this is one of the best albums i have ever heard. the lyrics is very good and the chorus is not the same al the time. The sound is very good. I think the video clips are cool too. I am a long time fan of Ghetts but this really is his best album. I really love it. I think that this is a must have if youre a big music fan.

    It's a strong album but Ghetts doesn't have the versatility, delivery, flow or ambition that Little Simz does.

    Strong album, like    It's a strong album but Ghetts doesn't have the versatility, delivery, flow or ambition that Little Simz does.

    Strong album, like Psychodrama. And also like Dave's debut, the near-universal acclaim is perplexing    … Full Review »

    Legendary album. He’s really come far as an artist. I hope this gets him his first number 1 album.
