About Me
Humurak D Gritty, widely regarded as one of the UKs fiercest rhyming talents, is back with whats being tipped as his strongest material to date. The arrogance, hunger and promise that won over British rap legend Blade and let the young upstart spit bars on a high point from his new album, is in full effect. And the delivery, showmanship and presence that saw the biggest selling home grown rap star of all time, Skinnyman, hand pick Gritty to provide support for his nationwide tour last year is more than evident in every syllable on this three track single. Hes used the attention and praise from these heavyweights to good effect and hit the studio hard with a new confidence and world beating attitude in his stride. His lyrics reflect the take no prisoners approach and his punch lines come with a bigger sting than ever before. Add to the mix the dopest beats to come out of these shores in a hot minute and you have a potent mix. Bringing the terror to the production is SFDB label boss, and beat digger to the stars, Secondson - The only man heavy enough to provide an adequate back drop of crystal clear high hats, and neck snapping drum kicks, for H Dot D Dot to spit his relentless UK street mentality over. As Grittys reputation has risen since their last outing together, Secondson has laid a more immediate, dare we say club rocking, sound on the table. On the fist-pumping, lighter raising "They Aint Ready" some of hip-hops most used samples come out the crates, but crucially are spun in meticulously realised new directions. On "Legend In The Making" a funky clavichord loop is jacked from some freaked out psyche rock number, and flipped for the less than humble magnificent Humurak to get busy on. In short, this shit bumps from each line to each snare, and is sure to win the Cardiff based "ARROGANT solider with a chip on his shoulder" more and more followers. However, long time listeners will know that Grittys biggest fan has always been Gritty. Ask him to describe himself and hell say mix Big Pun with Jay-Z, add Biggie, a British mentality and you got me, but as he points out he "can back it, walk it, talk it and hes ready to prove it". Once again, its Grittys time, and this UK rhyme animal just got fiercer
