8/10

After a year of hype and expectation, South London's latest rap duo Too Many T's finally deliver on their buzz with the release of their debut album 'South City'. And not since the heyday of Beastie Boys, has the sound of gang-rap ever been so instantly infectious.

While the rest of the UK's hip-hop scene either focuses itself on the reemerging grime scene or aims to compete with the trap sound of the US, Too Many T's are more than happy doing their own thing and giving us something fresh in the process. And although their influences can easily be connected to the 80s-90s style of the genre, their approach to production is diverse and eclectic enough to make this album a truly exciting experience.

In all, 'South City' is just a fun record, pure and simple. By removing a lot of the visceral anger of most rap outfits, the pair have managed focus their flow on creating this highly-addictive party record, one that will surely cement them as one of the best new acts in the UK today.
