I’ll letchu decide this one… so get the album a style=”font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;” href=”http://www.play.com/Music/CD/-/11/36/-/9826288/Microphone-Champion/Product.html?searchtype=genre”HERE/a or download a style=”font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;” href=”http://www.play.com/Music/MP3-Download-Album/4-/10117225/Microphone-Champion/Product.html”HERE/a amp; come back amp; tell me whatchu think! We’re not gonna try amp; sugar coat ‘Microphone Champion’, it is what it is… it’s a GRIME record amp; if you don’t like Grime, you won’t like what the ‘King of Grime’ brings on this 18-track L.P BUT like he says on ‘Reflecting’, ‘Everybody who likes this, come this way, Everybody who likes that, go that way!’ amp; it’s really quite that simple! We Plug G.O.O.D Music is staying this way by the way! I will say this though, the two most outstanding tracks on this ‘GRIME’ album are the only two times Skepta ventures into his Hip-Hop side!br /br /Until the Next Time…br /br /We Still Pluggin Tha G.O.O.D.N.E.S.S xbr //div
