Nate - Life and Lyrics review

I meet this artist at a magazine Launch party, and liked his set, grabbed a copy of the mixtape and fell musically in love. Very down to earth. Despite the sleeve of the album says explicit material, no swearing but does say the words Religion and Politics which in todays society are slightly dirty words. Can't really do it much justice so download and listen, that way you can understand why I am umble enough to leave it as a simple review.

TRACK LIST
Intro - Very smooth soulful intro
Torn Apart - Fast paced but very deep, emotive, makes me think its the kind of tune perfect to wake up to to motivate you.
This life ft, Ophqi, Lexi and Bigcakes - Quite old style hip hop especially the backing vocals, makes me think of the summer when your chilling with an ice cream with the tune.
Bigger than Hip Hop - Very funny and grittily real, one of my favs on the album and was amazing performed live. The samples are tight and works really well in the tune, which is quite hard to do in this style.
Skit - Brilliant speech about television and really true when you think of it in this centuary
Tricknology ft, Dark Matter - a follow up from skit, political with out being political and the closest way I can describe it is a social commentry, this artist really knows how to grab his audience. Another favourite of mine and I would like to think I'm hard to please especially with Hip Hop, i personally think he is very like Eminem but a UK version. Continues the skit
Destiny ft Lexi - Solid drum beat, deep lyrics and beautiful collaboration with Lexi who has a very old school soul voice a mix between Witney Houston and Areatha Franklin.
What do you want ft Mr Kamara and Bigcakes - This tune winded my ears with a deep thought about religion, his male backing singer sound like Luthur Vandros with the big tone, and I love the sly jab at NDubz Dappy. Hi 5 for that!
Just Me - Inspiring is the only way I can describe it. Another great track performed exceptionaly well live. The bridge will make you join in garanteed!
Building ft Cyclonious and Dark Matter - Great melodic sample used, reminds me of Take The Lead final dance, very deep lyrics, really touches on why we need to help build a better future for the next generation.
Choices ft Dark Matter - Name says enough here, deep and very poetical.
Human Nature ft, Big Frizz and Jai - Big Frizz makes quite an impact on this and makes you take a look at yourself and what is it that makes us human in todays society
Outro - Nice piano with a very dirty beat and really lifts the album to a next level. Why is he not better known? This outro is humourous and will put a smile on your face.
