UK Hip Hop
After a string of pop feature stints, Wretch 32 heads back to his roots, uniting with fledgling north London rapper Avelino (the Young Fire in the equation), for a bracing UK hip-hop collaboration. Sinister, sinewy opening track \"Young Fire Old Flame\" states their claim on the scene, while \"Issues\" is an apocalyptic call-to-arms featuring shady truths from newcomers Loick Essien and Hurricane Hunt. There’s is lightness, too: \"Nothing Will\" is a hazy, catchy tale of trying to get where you\'re going, and \"Hulk Hogan\" is a punchy, synthy ode to the iconic wrestler.
