    Talks of evolution as an artist but all of his best music is previous to this latest album. From a production stand point I'd give him a 8, they're very very good instrumentals but this is only in comparison to the rest of the UK music industry, to the rest of the world this album would never even be considered a classic. I believe you would only rate this album if you strictly listen toTalks of evolution as an artist but all of his best music is previous to this latest album.

    Skepta is more than happy to satisfy his core fanbase. It’s something Dizzee Rascal struggled to find a formula for, so “Ignorance is Bliss” succeeds in that regard. Minus the terrible “Animal Instinct”, it’s easy to recommend.

    It's a winningly fluid mix of on-trend beats, intriguing cameos and subtle, Eastern-influenced melodies. [Aug 2019, p.113]

    His fifth album is the most grown and mature.
