When Blunt goes for hypnagogic satirical UK rap, this Babyfather record nails its grimy and urban atmosphere. When it goes for nothing pieces or "This makes me proud to be British", the concept really takes over musicality.

Cements its satirical snobbery and affinity for experimentation thick-n-quick by hollowing out a sampled British-pride line via a C-or-so's worth of loops; casting the path for "20 bands" and "pour some liquor on my head" as deadpan+bored mantras entwined with baby-cries, casual remarks of "gunshot" and "mad smoke in the studio" during one of the jet-engine noise-hunks and a snuck in "fuck you mate" in the other, and not one but two reprises of that ol' British-pride line. Primarily it's an extensive slab of hip-hop mockery that places concept, album flow, and a skittish+squeaked-up narrator on a pedestal far above songs and strain, abstractions/phone calls/icy drink clinks more obligatory than bangers/sincerity/significance. Real riveters are there but few and far between, though near-end "The Realness" may take the cake for managing to channel just that: nothin' quite like chattin' bout the entanglements of trusting your crew and mini-reviewing a Cormega album over some solemnity.
