Love this. The mark of true art is that will travel to and be loved by audiences well beyond your own environment and culture. It has the possibility of speaking to all of us.

When 'I Luv U' first dropped, the buzz was something else. 'Boy In Da Corner' will always tell a story from a time period that other generations can relate to even now and beyond

Love Funk, Jazz and Soul as much as next man but this album defined a generation, it’s not trying to be commercial or appeal to everyone- true expression! The sound and lyrics paint a vivid picture and that’s why it’s legendary.

@@nilssonschmillson5395 Closest thing to true punk we’ve had since punk. Grime is one of the most authentic music genres to come out of the Uk.
