REVIEW - BLADE BROWN - BAGS & BOXES

Blade Brown is your favourite Trap Rappers favourite Trap Rapper trust me, and with Blade seeking to Maintain and solidify his spot He drops the mixtape 'Bags to Boxes'.
For those amongst you that don't understand this sort of terminology leave this mixtape well alone as Mykal Million(one of the hardest working guys in the UK game) puts it at on the intro "This mixtape is gonna have a lot of you Trapping" and he's not wrong as Blade Brown takes you on a complete tour of the UKs Traplife with tracks like the epic 'OT ' with Blade proudly proclaiming("A trap song without me on it,Is like a strip without B in it!") 'Bags to Boxes also includes trap classics like 'Fast Dough' ft FemFel,'Feel like I made it','Hammer em Down' ft Giggs,Dope Man and when I come around as well as the introspective 'Nobodys perfect' and 'walk wid me' ft Timbar on which the two trade inner city realities over an infectious Hill production beat also the back in the days theme of 'Young days ft Taymah' but the icing on the cake would have to be 'Afghanistan' ft Skwilla Da Gorrilla with the two trading extremely harsh bars over an orchestral sounding Hill Production with Blade spitting("And I'm heard that you wanna bun me,Now I'm sitting outside your yard like an Undie!").
This album is a definite progression on his last project 'The Best Of Blade' as it plays more like an album than a mixtape and gives a glimpse of what an official project from your favourite Trapper might sound like,and with bars like these Its sounding good!
An essential purchase get it now 9/10!
