Plus loads of other unique talents on the rise such as Octavian, Lancey Foux, Bakar, Avelino, Ocean Wisdom, Lord Apex, J Hus, Kojey Radical, Mura Masa.

    Hey Fantano! I was wondering where I could get in touch with you! There’s a really niche album that came out a while ago that me and my dad really enjoyed! It came out years ago and my father very deeply loves the album, and him and I watch your videos! So I think it would mean a lot if you could review it. I know you don’t really review older music and you don’t really do niche stuff, at least what from what I can tell, but if you could review an album called The Money Store by the Death Grips, I think you’d like it! And it would really touch my dads heart, thanks!

It's worth looking up the old channel U videos on KZread it was a UK channel that really defined alot of grime. I liked artists like Bearman, Mr Wong, Tempah T, Kano, N-Dubz, Wiley and Dizzie Rascal. For UK drill I like Diggah D, Moscow 17. Other UK rappers worth checking out I think would be Dave, Lord Apex, and Mark B & Blade (old school)

    My older brother introduced me to Stormzy around 1-2 months ago, with Vossi Bop. I liked it, & decided to listen to Heavy is the Head before watching your review... I'm now a fan of Stormzy! Bronze, Do Better (the chorus is an earworm for me!), & Rachael's Little Brother are my favorite tracks, as of my initial listen. Overall, this album is solid, & I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next from my UK neighbor!

You truly are a great KZreadr, and I am very happy and proud of you to see you achieving massive success. Keep doing you, keep being the positive escape from reality that I think we all need. I wish you and your family the best. Even though you’re an atheist, I will still say God bless you and your loved ones. Take care.

Also, what about Roddy Ricch's debut album (more popular) and the upcoming collaborative album by afrobeat legends Tony Allen and Hugh Masekela (less popular and totally different in genre, but still a probable pleasant listening 😅)? Finally, Redman has just released a pretty funny single! Thank you for your hard work throughout the years, and for being patient with all of us... 😅😊

    Wiley made a track with Ed when he was being embraced by the Grime scene and was within the community and platform. Ed hasn't really immersed himself in Grime now and so it can be seen as a calculated move to use the gritty genre to give him edge before moving on to commercial success.

    You really need to review something by Fishmans, they make some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard. I know dub as a genre is pretty easy to brush off as samey and clichéd music for people so high off their tits they can really only move their body to that anymore... but what this band did was deconstruct the genre and reconstruct it to create a lush, rich sort of dream pop psychedelic-ish style, it's hard to describe really. Oh and the bass is SO good, as a bassist you HAVE to love it dude. "Long season" makes me cry tears of joy. Love you melon bye
