I loved "Fit but you know it", hella good song.  All my mates hate it but I think its an quality tune.  I can understand how they don't feel em tho, they into all that rappy gangsta shit, this is just straight up telling shit like it is.

I would love to give the album a listen.

Hes cool, I don't really feel him but I find him amusing. He ain't hiphop though, hes more like talking over garage tracks.

Exactly. He's hardly a "Rapper" There's a ton of better UK Acts.

I've only heard sum of that pirate material shit, was interesting but nuthin i'd wanna get into. Many people compared Dizzee Rascal to him, but to me they different, also sound-wise. Dizzee is much grimier

the one parallel i can see is they use garage beats, but seem to be influenced by hiphop pretty strongly..............i've seen that comparison a 1000 times

Exactly. The only similar thing is that they are both huge mainstream artists.
