I had a hell of a time tracking this album down. Although it's shown on Wiki, none of the usual sources seem to have it, which is weird until you realise it's from Pakistan, so maybe not that widely known? So this is then my first (maybe only) encounter with Pakistani Hip-Hop (they seem to call it Desi Hip-Hop?) and of course I can't comment on the lyrics – not that I tend to with hip-hop in general anyway, but here I definitely can't – but that shouldn't be a problem as I've experienced Italian hip-hop so, you know, the language shouldn't be the only criterion for review here. So then, what's it like? First track is good enough, seems a little repetitive, but I guess I can't really comment on that can I? It's slower than expected, certainly a little catchy, second one has more power and, I guess, anger?
Generally speaking, it's decent music and the guy seems able both to rap and sing, assuming it's the same guy doing both, which is not unheard of but not by any means that common, so fair play to him for that. A decent album, well put together. You know, I think he's doing the K-Pop thing, as in, throwing in some English among his own language from time to time: I definitely caught a few words or even sentences. Not bad, but I'm not excited about it.
