Despite the title, there’s a pronounced sense of nighttime about the hypnotic trap beats on this installment of the South Londoners’ dual mixtape release (R&B-focused *7 Nights* is the companion piece). On the drowsy “Wo Wo Wo,” the pair survey their success with the warm, woozy glow that comes at the end of a particularly satisfying night out, while an eerie synth melody creeps through some typically smart wordplay on Stormzy collaboration “Ask Flipz.” However, J Hus brings extra melodic sparkle to “Get a Stack,” and “Cold Summer (Krept Freestyle)” raises the intensity for a searing examination of religion, race, and social injustice.
