And it took me going through a tonne of shit to realise that none of these things – no money, no drugs, no fake relationships – is gonna make me happy, or make me a good person”.Today, the 24- year-old MC is rapidly becoming notorious as the rarest of commodities: an authentic voice in an increasingly gentrified world. Having knocked the Royals off their pedestal on the album’s opening track, here he crowns his mother as his “only Queen”, before confessing “No way I can pay you back / I just hope I can make you proud”.

Three years since the phrase first appeared in his breakout track “Jiggle” (2016), Ty presents his incendiary debut Nothing Great About Britain. Slowthai - Nothing Great About Britain - CD - Europe Pressing - Method - 2019 - MTHDCD001 - 11 Track - Condition (Sleeve/Disc): EX/EX. Until now that is; slowthai has come along with his infection and urgent political-punk-infested hip-hop rantings. Other standouts include Dead Leaves and collaborations with Jaykae on Grow Up and Skepta on Inglorious that allow Slowthai to lead a new wave of this genre, that may just save it.Condition - This item is in Excellent condition or better (unless it says otherwise in the above description). Records that aren't in picture sleeves will either be in a company sleeve or a generic plain sleeve.

Linking up with Skepta for the Tarantino-referencing “Inglorious”, the pair warn haters, “Come up against us and you’ll fail”.A searing account of an upbringing informed by financial struggle and adversity, “Northampton’s Child” finds Ty praising his mum’s tenacious spirit and selfless dedication to her family. It's not only lovely to the ears, but the lyrics are profound and empowering about the struggles that she faces. The things we consider to be British - even though most of them remain inside the community - are the small vibes, the small parts that we forget about. The fact we were an empire based off of raping and pillaging and killing, and taking other people’s culture and making it our own?
