'you're saved' is probably one of if not the most interesting central conceit i can think of in years but the whole thing is kinda halfbaked wan back of the bus singsong when it should crush ominously. bit of a shame really
i do like ryder generally but tbh there is something so crashingly boring about you lot automatically wibbling about the rarefied tremulous marmoreal diva, it is mad offputting yo

When Champion ft. Ruby Lee Ryder's "Sensitivity" comes out we can maybe turn this into the general Ruby Lee appreciation thread.

There's also a side-order of eyerolling about the prospect of Terror Danjah releasing ANOTHER album of Hyperdub instrumentals when he could at least have the good grace to rope in a shedload of MCs like the good lord intended.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 18 September 2012 09:29 (eleven years ago) link
there are three "interludes" of MCs over the dark crawler beat, plus two r&g-style tracks with singers (meleka and ruby lee), and then a ton of instrumentals

also i guess from that "lee" is one of her surnames rather than one of her first names/middle name?

I thought you were talking one or two tweets but good grief there is virtually nothing else for ten days.

pretty gushy turnaround for the royal-t lp lex, sarah souljah didnt send her ammunition heavies over did she?

I've sort of become obsessed with the Riko version of Dark Crawler since the last revive, to the extent I don't want to even hear any of the other versions.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 16 October 2012 22:09 (eleven years ago) link
xp i just listened to it a few more times and then wrote the review in too much of a rush to tease out its relatively minor flaws
i've never communicated with sarah souljah! what label head would possibly try to get pissy about these matters though
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 16 October 2012 22:41 (eleven years ago) link
(the rush was because i was on my way to tory conference. my life was very hard in those few weeks and no one seemed to understand)
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 16 October 2012 22:42 (eleven years ago) link
but yeah, great album, not AOTY level but a superior 2012 release for sure

an excellent turn on the p money album from ruby lee ryder

I immediately thought of Full Attention when I heard that (possibly because Terror Danjah virtually recycles the beat).
The whole album is fun even though P-Money is one of those MCs who is constantly operating at full throttle without ever sounding dextrous or memorable. Rhyming 'eski' with 'Emile Heskey' OTM in that context.
