Hmm, yeah it is nice to just dip into this, as all the knowledgeable people / interested parties post here, so it's like a little ongoing primer. However i can see how they might be like duckweed in the Dissensus pond...
That Turbulence rfx is fantastic! Not sure about the TV6 intro, he's been on a lot of Maniac beats of late.

I've listened to that mixtape half a dozen times and missed it - mainly because I was only half paying attention.

wtf?
Trim's soulfood is probably the next best thing to Boy in da corner i have heard in Grime. There are so many quotable lines
"Thats me thats me!
Bad boy Trim
Bad boy Trimothy!"
his lyrics are absolutely on point
"look i wear nike from the foot up
mash no push ups
might catch me at a west indian cook-up"
The one criticism i might make is that it requires a certain knowledge of grime in the first place to be enjoyed in the fullest, as in tracks like War Report 1 only work for grime heads, and he references other rappers like crazy in almost all his songs. I played this album in my studio and the reaction (to my absolute horror) was unanimous, that Trim was shit. I tried explaining the genius of his lyricism but it all fell on deaf ears. Ah well.
I think people were more impressed by Dizzee when he came through, i guess the album sounded more energetic, media hype, etc... but i think its a shame Trim doesnt get a fair go aswell. That turbulence refix is sick

I think most of the beats are fucking great.
Money Up Front is quality.

Glad that others are feeling Trim so much - he has had some critical reward if little financial!
I think it's the best mixtape since GNR2 definitely. And if i could only have 10 on a desert island i think it would be in there.
I think he really rewards close listening, perhaps on headphones firstly because of all the intricate tumbling word-play and secondly to pick up the references to various running beefs. Who is the person in the tune 'Javan Brother' - is it Wiley? He's not sending or anything but says something like 'i would expect olders to act better, but we're still brothers' or something.
Some of the beats are a bit forgettable. And i don't really like In the Ghetto and the kinda love-son ish one. But there are about 6 of absolute fire.
