Review : Kidderachi +PLUS Mixtape

The North London Swagger don Kidderachi is back with another dose of his roadrap from him and a few friends as he drops his new mix tape 'Plus+' which comes after the highly rated and street certified 'Swag Flu' which was released earlier this year as well as numerous collaborations with other artists on their projects.
Its immediately evident that 'Plus+' shows a marked growth in Kidderachi's music in terms of lyric's,content and beat selection and this mix tape has a much more sophisticated feel than 'Swag flu' also the abundance of quality features makes it is clear Kidderachi is officially in the game now and by the end of '+plus' you will agree that he's another definite contender in the game.
Starting things off with the slick sounding 'What it is' featuring Fiasco the two trade bars over a hot beat leading nicely into the menacingly dark 'Don't know we' feat BMD with Kidderachi dropping bars like ("Sloan Street attire don I'm looking right,grinding on the roads I ain't looking left,I'm looking Fresh,cos we fling z's like the feds on us, that's why we always go shopping with your rent on us")
Definitely another North anthem.
Check out the Grown Hustler feel of 'I do it' feat Continental GT,SK Villain and Yogi who are all on their top form over the Rick Ross instrumental. For the Trappers out there check out 'Swimming in Money' ft Juvee,'Wasting time' ft SK Villain and Fem Fel with hard bars from all artists on the track also checkout the extremely hard but melodic 'Trap Food' ft ST with Kidderachi declaring ("I -put-work- in-on-the-curb-king,shells to squirting they tear off the shirt and they burn skin")
One of the biggest tracks on the '+Plus' mix tape is the haunting street anthem 'In the hood' featuring Young Mad B,Dough Boi and Strapzy with Young Mad B providing another classic chorus for the streets and the three MCs all on point as they detail gritty street narratives over an ice cold beat but its not just a Shotta and Road Rap affair as is shown with tracks like 'My Thang (UK Remix)' feat Lazed,S.A.S,Big and SK Villain with all the artists having a ball over the futuristic southern inspired beat also check out 'Rash Boy' feat BMD and the excellent 'Le premier' feat Casks Bells and Ebb with the Cases spitting in french but none the less the track is a hot one as they murder the bouncy beat!
'+Plus' ends with the dark sounding 'No comment' feat Skrillz,Sk villain and J money with Kidderachi spitting ("so on it, Breightling with the rose gold on it,thorough call me no comment K, do dirt in a so honest way,I do know honour pays")
This mix tape is a essential addition to anyone's Trap music/Road Rap collection as Kidderachi and co keep this covered with an abundance of tracks catering to this although it would have been nice to hear more introspective tracks and maybe a bit more of Kidderaci on his own like the leaked 'Exhibit K Freestyle',That said this is a mix tape which won't be leaving the collection any time soon a solid 8.5/10

BIGZ - STARMAN THE EP - REVIEW & D/L LINK

Let's face it Bigz is an artist who definitely has Star potential and I guarantee after listening to this ep 'Star Man' it will be a bit hard to dispute! Since entering the game a while back with the classic track

'Cor Blimey' as well as his entertaining verses on everyone's projects and remix's.

 Bigz has managed to build a loyal fanbase who enjoy his skilled word play and humorous wit which are constantly refined and improved upon with each release as was evident with the 'Flight of the Navigator Mixtape' as well as the 'Quick zip' which was his most recent release but all that can be considered a warm to 'Star Man' as Bigz might have just dropped another contender for mixtape of the year,only problem is this doesn't play like your average mixtape with its completely original production and an all star cast(S.A.S,G Frsh,Sway,Wretch 32,Baby Blue,Tzar,Ayo,Eldee

Opening proceedings is the triumphant sounding 'Star Man' with Bigz instantly making it clear he's here for business ("Flawless is the Bosses image,man the Polo is loco ,got more horses than John McClerik") Honestly how many UK Rap artists are making the sort of comparisons?not too many and this is another thing Bigz does well covering things you don't hear too often a perfect example of this is Patriotic 'Omo Naija ft S.A.S and Eldee ' I honestly can't remember anyone pushing a track so Nigerian you could bang it in Lagos all day,but in a way everyone can enjoy with the Eurogang member spitting ("Bigz is a Boss so salute him of course ,I'm recruiting,you love the way I brought you the movement,this is patriotism at its best form,so you know the greatest as I'm the next on")

Its also interesting that this time round Bigz plays around with his flow a lot more than on previous releases and they all work with his distintive vocals check out 'Loose control','I want paper' and 'Look like Money feat G Frsh and Tzar' which is a banger.

However Bigz can be faulted for having one too many 'Girls' and commercial tracks and although they will work well for radio and the Ladies there are only ten tracks and at least 4 of these are in that direction, but this is all good as what I consider to be the best track on this EP 'Motion picture' is way too much with its intense synth led beat and the Flygerian dropping constant heat rocks ("Skys the limit ni**a elevate or levetate,but set a date for heavens sake ,cos the clever know they generate to celebrate,so I demonstrate and meditate on getting cake") and ("I'm dripping in cerruti,a top fella when I'm listening to Kuti!!) Now although the last one might go over a few heads those that get it will get it!! Anyhow this sounds like another mixtape that shouldn't have been for free but since it is make the most of it and download it now!!(Pay him back when his album lands)

A BIG 8.5/10
