Billing someone like Kane Robinson as UK hip hop

part of the story. His debut album which arrived in June this

year hold a battery of armaments, thudding rock/rap, blingy party tunes with Latin fringes, even the occasional dose of rattling junglism. At the heart of course, there’s enough fresh beatage to keep most kinds of parties bubbling. Live, tracks like ‘Ps and 05’ and his debut single ‘Boys Love Girls’ truly come alive, harking back to his east London MCing
