That's a shame but not all UK hip hop is like that.
Oh I'm sure it's not. My experience of UK hip hop is quite limited to the more mainstream grime, and the local acts that usually end up supporting bigger acts, I'm yet to be grabbed by what I've heard but admittedly it's not very much.
I like the idea of grime, but I'm rarely impressed by the execution. I've heard the odd solid track but never a great album from the genre.
The support acts last night had more of a boom-bap production going on which I was into, the beats sounded really good, but the rapping was insincere to me. Dorky middle class white kids rapping about "mad stacks" and "packing heat" was super cringey.
I'm gonna check out those 3 tracks above, but feel free to throw more recommendations my way.
