Stylus Magazine

Yoshi comes from a world where Sergio Leone, the RZA, anti-establishment politics, Middle Eastern strife, ambient Hip Hop, Akira Kurosawa and potent skunk exist in harmony...Managing to sound both ominous and chilled at the same time, this is obviously a deeply personal record about skewed perspectives, about looking at the UK from it’s marginal areas and wondering whether you’re a part of it.

Reflecting the darker and bleaker sides of British society this LP stands somewhere between the Streets, grimey electronic music and the sounds of the Wu and DJ Shadow fairly effortlessly and manages to make you think about those aspects of life which are sometimes too easily overlooked...Dark, grimey and at times hypnotic, his beats clash together in a sound that is definitely Yoshi’s own, and which while not easy to get used to is well worth the time and effort. It’s what hip-hop always was about, appropriating and re-interpreting the heritage of the old school.

One of my favorites of 2004, after my first listen through it got me. The production is beautiful, and the themes ranging from spirituality to politics fit right.
Simply great hip hop.

Listener''s Comments


"I have listened to it a number of times - why, it''s on right now - and each time I find more to listen to within it. Your work is both politically engaged and musically interesting, especially some of the drum rhythms. Your command of the rap idiom is admirable and the variety of textures remarkable." - Jon Baily, Professor of Music @ Goldsmiths University of London.

"After listening to it all the way through the first time, I asked myself – whoa-hooo Nadiaaa, what is hip-hop to you? Cuz Im actually a big fan of hip hop, but Ive always attached it to a certain ‘type.’ And in this album it challenged those conceived notions, but in it I see hip-hop evolving into something brighter, something more grounded, something more real." Nadia, New Jersey, USA.

"I love the mesh of analog samples with the digital production, it works really well. Definitely keep on with that there. The end of ''Sunline'', when the sample kicks in (T.S Eliot?) is just a beautiful moment. I think my personal favourite is ''Idol Smash'', though ''My View'' is dope also. The album is really good." - Owen, Glamorgan, UK

"It''s hypnotic, actually it''s like a drug, especially when you get on that Korg [keyboards]...It''s great music to fall asleep to." - Haroon, Maryland, USA.
