Straight from Broke 'n' english's rhythm n rhyme bubbling pot comes DRS's solo debut... for those of you that don't know DRS can be more commonly seen standing ground alongside Strategy to form the acclaimed and much loved hip hop faction, Broke 'n' english.
Grown man biznizz plays out a treat, throwing down fun and bounce with the likes of 'weekend', the inspiring 'to everybody' all the way to the pop club-wobbler 'slow that flow' by Dub Phizix including also his dustup reaffix which carries with it the prime sound of the release, catchy, weighted and direct. This is a production which lets the narrative talk, simple wisdoms vibe with hip hop beats to achieve an understanding of growing older, living life right, knowing how to take responsibilities and most importantly, how to let loose.
A Salford sense of humour stays strong throughout, from the album artwork to the tracks “I'll pick from the bar like I'm shopping at tesco” and “Mary Jane's like a blanket, believe me she's stunnin”. Tunes such as 'til tomorrow' bring a knowing smile whilst lines like “credit crunch, my life's a credit avalanche” help to lend an optimistic soundtrack to daily living.
Unlike many hip hop lyricists, DRS speaks his verses to you in a way you can understand, creating a narrative to a dubstep driven music culture often left without words.
Grown Mans Biznizz is available from NOTE SKATESHOP andHMV (Market ST)
