www.brightonhiphop.com - Evil Ed Interview and Album Review

Evil Ed has long been one of my favorite UK producers and to my mind this is one of the best producer albums to come out of the UK in the last 10 years. From start to finish 'The Enthusiast' showcases the rawest lyrical talent over truly memorable beats, this is defiantly an album you'll keep on heavy rotation for future years. The record was two years in the making and it shows in the intricate rhyming patterns and thoughtful lyrics. Some of the insights are brilliant - on the dark side is Playin' The Game, where Asaviour raps emotively about hanging in there in the face of vulnerability, or Life's A Struggle, a deeply felt track but for me the highlight is Great Expectations from Manchester's finest crew the Microdisiacs... check it out!
