Gap D is one of the growing legion of rappers from the British gospel hip-hop underground. The title track reinforces this fusing strong vocals over smooth beats and feels a good start, unfortunately though not every track on this album is as strong and in places Gap D's cheeky chap persona cannot hide some average tracks that don't live up to the promise of the title track. Still, 'Checkmate' has its moments, "Snatch" has a raw vibe with Gap D honest and open in his testimony, and "U'l Get Thru" is a stripped down tack that showcases the artist's ability to produce a sweet flow from the heart. Having said that, too many of the tracks here are forgettable and one is left with a patchy offering.
