JBeats Pick Of The Week #1

Slowthai - Tyron

This week’s pick of the week has to be Slowthai’s recent album release - Tyron.
He has been in the public eye for the past couple of years now with a couple of silly mistakes that show he is just human like the rest of us and in the 14 tracks on this album takes a look at himself and shows his true colours, which I am all for.
Every instrumental on this album is worth listening to alone.
Personally the NME awards show last year has not changed my opinion on Slowthai’s ability or interest in his music in the slightest and at the end of the day it is the music we are all here for, nothing else.
From start to finish the album feels like one continuous track in which none of it seems tedious or much of the same. Each hook is catchy and gets stuck in your head leaving you to replay every track which is complimented by original harmonic beats that shake the speakers and leave you wanting more.
The first half of the album is all titled in uppercase; showing the pure energy it brings and the heavy beats that go with this on tracks like ‘CANCELLED’ featuring Skepta and ‘MAZZA’ Featuring A$AP Rocky.
The second half of the album is in lower case which I feel shows Slowthai’s calmer views on life and how there are millions of things that make an individual human being and how he accepts his flaws and I quote ‘If you love the world for its flaws, you will never be disappointed.” Which is true, we all make MASSIVE mistakes from time to time and do things that leave us thinking we wish we could change that certain thing, but we can learn that nobody is perfect and we should not be judged on certain past happenings.
My favourite song on this album has to be nhs. Lovely beat, lovely lyrics, catchy hook, less said about this one the better just listen to it and watch the music video on youtube.
