the long awaited solo album from chester p.

Anyone who is anyone in UK Hip Hop has heard of Chester P as a member of both Taskforce and MUD fam he’s an experienced battle rapper with a quick fire flow and excellent freestyle skills, I’m not going to dwell too much on the background to this album but I will mention that about 12 months ago Louis Slipperz studio burnt down and fears were that the tracks had been lost – but luck would have it that the music survived the fire, smoke and firemans hose to be released on Rawdog. The first track on the album is “Chessmonster” – I’m sure you may have heard this guitar tinged – conscious track – flipping some great multi’s with style and flare. Another standout track is the recent single ‘Oh No (He Loves A Ho)’ a tale from the lighter & jokier side of Chester P’s personality bringing his usual rapid, skillful flow over Louis Slipperz’s minimalistic-reggae style production. Chester tells a twisted story of falling in love with a working girl but its ok coz she loves his dough. Farma G is also on-hand with his own grimey story to tell over this great Louis Slipperz beat. The bouncy banjo on “Faith” shows off another great piece of Louis Slipperz production whilst Chester, Farma and Ramson Badbones tear it up with their true to life tales on a solid solo debut album – however for me I’d have liked to have seen a few more collaborations with other UK heavyweights to spice things up a little.
