Product Description
Review
Opening with the laidback, jazzy beats of Before Before, Bashy reminisces on his rise through the underground. In sharp contrast, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? is more effective as it goes in for the kill with its dark, grimy beats and jungle influence.
While She's A Gangsta features polished production, the immature lyrics and delivery let the side down. Popular British trio N Dubz then pop up on Travel The World with its scorching beats, catchy lyrics and accessible theme.
Cinematic storytelling features on the well-crafted Change while Copy Cat yields jarring, childish lyrics, bleeps and bass. And while Ransom includes both heavyweight production and creative verse, it lacks hit potential and ultimately isn't a track you'll want to listen to more than once.
With strong American R&B influence, Living My Dream is an honest account of fighting for fame. Bashy takes us through his journey of 'spitting' on pirate radio stations and driving buses to releasing tracks and making money from his craft.
Weak album filler follows before the best is left till last. Raw to the core, grime cut Kildulthood 2 Adulthood lands crash, bang in your speakers with its dark lyrics, street scenes and firing beats. The lead single from the critically acclaimed Adulthood movie, this grimy vibe hits harder than Bashy's R&B tunes. Closer Black Boys salutes famous black men: including musicians P. Diddy and Dizzee Rascal, footballer Jermaine Defoe, comedian Lenny Henry and even news reader Trevor MacDonald.
After bubbling away on the UK's underground garage and grime scene since the turn of the millennium, Bashy has taken some time to release his official debut studio album. The result is slightly unbalanced. Strong, grime cuts battle with cheesy contenders while radio-friendly R&B attempts to fend off album filler. Leave the album alone but be sure to purchase your favourite tracks. --Elle J Small

Customer Reviews
The album seems to be clearly exactly what he wants it to be, without the pressure from a large record label to make it commercial viable.
I am a devout hip hop fan and when I first listened to Bashy, I considered him grime artist, then a UK Hip Hop artist and now I just see him as and creative artist who just makes good music and I cant really categorise him at all, which is a definite good thing and has work very well for this album.
The album is easy listening, so I dont think I would blaze it in my car with the windows slightly open, but its a very good album all the same!
I would very much like to give him 5 stars, but I would like to believe in the future he will be able to impress me just as much as he has done with this album or hopefully even more so!!!
Highly recommended CD: 4 out of 5 stars!
His music is not just good its also very very creative, his lyrics have you thinking, they leave you in suspense and wanting more, I only live down the road from where he is and I can relate to alot of things he says about different areas and experiences... this is what you call REAL talent... its a shame the album did not make the Top 20, because he actually does deserve it... I have seen Bashy perform in a whole heap of places last place was YoYo's and his performances alone tells you how passionate he is about his music, people just need 2 recognise this and make way for new talent, instead of making people like Eminem number 1 (like lets be real) if you are considering to buy this, look no further scroll up and put this in your Amazon Basket and purchase its worth the money and so are his mixtapes so feel brave and purchase all of them lol... seriously well done this album is just to good.
