Sway - This Is My Demo

Thankfully not just another So Solid Crew, Sway might incorporate the same elements of rapid fire raps and skittering beats but his debut album is a cut above the modern British talent. Already hailed by the MOBOs at the Best Hip Hop artist, but who here gives a shit about that, This Is My Demo follows on from underground cds that paved his way.

This Is My Demo is a mixture of laid back almost scat rap at times, Products and more dirty squalid stories pieces such as Pretty Ugly Husband, complete with almost Public Enemy noise backing. The album is well structured, offering both the subtle and hard end of urban music, sometimes in the same track.

A promising debut, This Is My Demo for me anyway is a welcome change from Deep Elm records but is possibly of little interest to the hip hop expert, which I am not.
