To all who firmly insist that rap is a purely American art form, let me state I normally agree. There’s perhaps a handful (maybe less) of British rappers worth hearing, as well as a couple French ones. So…Irish?
I was skeptical. Rejjie Snow is about as worldwide as an American can be. born in Dublin to parents from Nigeria as well as Jamaica, he transferred to Florida during college as well as then transferred to George to go to SCAD. having been in the world of trap as well as southern rap for a few years, he then went back to Ireland. That may describe the folky noise to his rap, as well as why you may not even believe of this as a rap album. “Why you gotta state indicate things about me,” he sings on 23. What rapper would talk about getting their feelings hurt?
Dear Annie is Snow’s very first appropriate album, after some EPs as well as a mixtape in the past couple years. It’s a solid entry to the world of alt-rap, one more motion as the rap genre continues to redefine itself.
