RECORD/ VERY GOOD / EX

Original, vibrant and mercilessly infectious, Countryman is without a doubt one of the fullest and fattest "homegrown" LP's to emerge from these shores in the last decade. Over the last few years, UK beatsman Skitz has been steadily creeping into the collective hip-hop subconscious with bass-heavy, reggae-driven cuts such as "Where My Mind Is At", "Fingerprints of the Gods" and "Twilight of the Gods", which have earned him a rep for idiosyncratic, no nonsense productions, and good taste in collaborators (he worked with Roots Manuva way before he blew up). A highly anticipated debut, Countryman showcases no less than 25 guests--mostly rappers--all of whom hail from the UK. By using dynamic female trio Wildflower, Tempa and Estelle on the hype "Domestic Science", junglist storytellers GQ and Dynamite on "Double Reds" the distinctive flow of Mr Manuva for "Where My Mind Is At" and a plethora of other dope combinations, Skitz has ensured a good spread of styles and vibes on this album, all backed up by his unassailable beats and basslines
