Ghetto Gospel: The New Testament
The long, long awaited sequel to grime legend Ghetts' 2007 album Ghetto Gospel, this comes off the back of some outstanding work with Rude Kid which raised his profile to an all-time high. One of the most naturally talented MCs out there, this should be an album of the year contender.
'Ghetto Gospel - The New Testament' is a diverse and culturally relevant interpretation - both visually and lyrically - on his life, story and the times we live in now touching on topics of equality, female empowerment, cancer, crime & fatherhood. This album is also a continuation of the themes he explored on 2007s 'Ghetto Gospel' with Ghetts stating that upon the release of the original he had all these emotions with his daughter coming into the world, she was in and out of hospital and he was in a different chapter of his life. Fast forward to now, those things may not have changed but he has a different perspective on it; a different handle on things - "That's what this album is about, perspective and being able to grasp all sides of a story. It gives me a new perspective to appreciate life and what we have. To make a difference rather than only be able to wish you make a difference. When I talk to people who don't have that freedom it makes me realise we have opportunities here. DO not waster your freedom, believe me it's a blessing to have. Which is why I want to use my voice and the ability to tell a story in hope that someone will understand the freedom they have been given Is not to be taken for granted".

Lone
Reality Testing
Re-press LP is on clear vinyl, exclusive to indies.
The hyper-chromatic music of Matt Cutler marks him out as a true impressionist; as Lone, he drizzles brightly coloured melody through his tracks with all the reflexive skill of a master painter daubing inks and pigment across paper. On Cutler's fifth Lone album, Reality Testing, released on R&S, he sends notes and chords rippling delicately into space before allowing them to disperse, each oozing beautifully away into the background fabric of the music. Combined with rhythms that ebb and flow, shifting from propulsive club constructions to beatific coastal hip-hop, it's a sensuous, immersive, heady experience, and easily his most accomplished and self-contained work to date.
"I was listening to a lot of Detroit techno and old Chicago house that had the same grain and dirtiness to it as a lot of the hip hop I was listening to," says Cutler of the genesis for Reality Testing. "That was the real spark - I wanted to make an album that had both hip hop and house beats, but that weren't completely different from each other, that shared the same sort of vibe. I love the idea of two things sat side by side, but instead of it seeming like they're complete opposites, [it's more that] those two things could almost be the same thing."
