Kid Acne - Reality Raps
[Invisible Spies]

Bling? Bitches? Bentley's? Nah, Kid Acne hasn't quite reached these dizzying heights just yet, but more the better for it. When the rhymes are this cheeky & the beats so deliciously lo-fi, the slick sounds of top US producers suddenly don't seem so appealing.

While the A-Side is a firm reminder of how outstanding 'Council Pop' was, it's the new products which even outshine those dizzying moments. 'The Bomb Bomb' is as tight as anything Acne & Req have recorded before and while budget may not be an option, it's sure become a valuable asset to their unique blend of laptop hip-hop.

Showcasing the potential of Acne's new direction in true style is live favourite 'Move It Or Lose It' - the long awaited collaboration with former FKO Raw freestyle champion Infinite Livez (Big Dada). Taking the twisted humour of his art to the next phase, think Reeves & Mortimer recording 'Licensed To Ill'. A full-length joint album is planned for the end of the year also.

As he continuously moves away from the experimental ethos of Toah Dynamic into a more focused artist, the warped sensibilities he still portrays provide him with an edge over his peers. Still unique & still unbeaten, no matter how many comedy mc's try to immitate. The Why? of UK hip-hop?
