29 Aug Kano – Method To The Maadness | Album Review

The next generation of Grime spitters are privileged to have a handful of emcees whose blueprint to success has paid off in dividends. Dizzee Rascal’s mainstay at the peak of the charts and Tinchy Stryder's status as a record selling artist have been heralded by both the wider audience and the underground communities – due to the financial gains they have received from their success. Standing tall as many critics' choice emcee however is Kano; East London born, akin to Tinchy and Dizzee, but has won praise for keeping his sound predominantly enriched in a murkier sound, even when exploring different directions. With a back catalogue labelled "Genius," "Underrated" and "Pure" across his three albums to date, Method To The Maadness aims to further compound the positive responses of critics - ranging from the Fleet Street bigwigs to Grime Forum’s hardcore following.
