Review

I've had the chance to listen to "Blacklisted" by Skepta, and I have to say, it's an album that really gets you moving with its raw energy and intense beats. The production on this album is everything you'd want from a grime record - heavy, bass-driven, and totally infectious. I love how Skepta's aggressive flow and introspective lyrics come together to create a unique sound that's both authentic and captivating. The album's themes of street life, personal struggles, and growing up in London are woven throughout the 12 tracks, giving listeners a glimpse into Skepta's world.

Listening to "Blacklisted" made me appreciate Skepta's talent and his role in shaping the sound of contemporary grime. His delivery is so intense and authentic, it's like you're right there with him, experiencing the highs and lows of his journey. The album may not have been a mainstream hit when it was first released, but it's definitely had a lasting impact on the grime genre, paving the way for Skepta's future success and helping to put British grime on the map. Overall, "Blacklisted" is a gritty, honest, and compelling album that's definitely worth checking out if you're a fan of grime or just looking for something new and exciting. - Ava
