140 Grime St

A raw, high-velocity homecoming to 140 BPM. Stripped of pop polish, this is skeletal grime production meeting elite, rapid-fire storytelling.

September 29, 2008 · BPM (Bigger Picture Music)

A sharp, uncompromising return to the frantic energy of the underground.

Moments Worth Listening For

The title track's opening salvo where the beat drops with a jagged, metallic synth line that signals a return to roots.

The frantic, high-velocity trade-off of verses on 'Anywhere We Go' that captures the peak intensity of a pirate radio set.

The sudden shift to a more somber, reflective tone on 'Seems Like Things Have Changed' where the production thins out to let the lyrics breathe.

AllMusic

Where This Album Departs

How does 140 Grime St sound next to the rest of Kano's catalogue?

Drum Machine+1.1σ

The instrumentation foregrounds drum machine notably more than the catalogue usually does.
